Best day ever detecting in December....

to tell you the truth, I can't remember ever hunting in this kind of weather and ground conditions in December before. It got up to 60 degrees F. yesterday and still no frost in the ground here in NE Nebraska. Dry and hard yes, but no frost. I saw where a house had been moved onto a longtime vacant lot in town and it looked like they had scraped the yard. Looked like they had disked it almost as there were windrows of earth. It hadn't been seeded and when I asked the owner yes.

My first target was a 1925D wheatie, then an 1882 IH penny. Another 2 wheaties(1925 and 191:geek: and then out pops a 1900o barber dime in very worn condition. Lots of crap and no other coins in about 2 hours. Didn't cover it all so hope to get back a few times before he puts a yard in.AT pro in pro mode coins, 2 bars short of maxed out sensitivity and it ran smoothly. Running the 8x5DD coil. It falsed a little if I ran across the rows of earth with about 4 inch dropoffs between rows. Didn't if I ran with the rows. Is that normal?? Signals came thru nice and clear though.

This is going to make winter seem even longer this year, once bad weather hits. Come on spring. Good luck and HH. Bob.
 
My at gold does this falsing on areas you are having an issue with as well. Just don't dig up a wasp nest if it falses over an area like that in the ground lol. I got a weird signal and started digging once, I guess it was a wasp nest in the ground that somehow gave me a bit of a signal, started digging and suddenly wasps everywhere! Ran like a madman with my detector!
 
Congratualtions on a superb day! These winters are getting shorter, or moving furthur around the calendar anyway...its supposed to be in the 60's today here in michigan! We used to have ice on the ponds in november when I was a kid trapping muskrats.

Nice finds and it looks like there will be more of an offering.
Hope you get back in time to cash in on the rest of the finds.
