Finds are from past couple weeks on 2 Saturday "day" hunts. I used online snow maps and headed a couple hours or so south
to give myself the best chance at somewhat "diggable" conditions.
The ground wasn't too bad 2 weeks ago but was very hard yesterday as winter storms had rolled through earlier in the week.
1 fairground and a few city parks were hit.
I used the NEL Thunder coil yesterday. The old quarter was on edge and made my day when I saw it come out of the hole.
It was giving me quarter numbers @ 7-8 inches but wasn't that loud of a signal as it was next to iron.
The toasted 1888 Indian was a signal I chased because it was deep. It read way lower (12-30) because it was so encrusted.
I decided to display the crushed cup item as it has some ornateness. It read like a large quarter.
Digging conditions were difficult to say the least but I got some great exercise and a break from the long winter.
