Well here in Massachusetts we had a huge snow storm followed by a slight melt so, I haven't touched my detector as of lately. I did however go to one of the state parks with my camera to see if I could get a nice shot. I'm always looking for a good photo but I keep eyes to the ground too because I want to find a projectile point (badly). So as I was looking at ground, at an area where the snow had melted, I saw a coin about the size of a nickel sticking out about half way, so I grabbed it and cleaned it off. A 1917 Buffalo nickel. You can make out the 191 and the top part to the half of the 7, there is no mint mark on the back. I actually said, No expletive way, out loud and quickly apologized to the nice lady walking her dog while showing her what I had found. Anyways, it's a state park so I don't think I can detect there (99.9% sure), but it made my day and it's my first find in 2011. Will put pictures on tomorrow as the camera is in my truck now.
