Got out to two school playgrounds this weekend. Hard hunting conditions, 8 to 10 inches of hard crusted snow in the shady side of the playground equipment, bare ground froze hard in the sun. Had to leave a lot of good signals but still had a good score. Found a lot of clad, some junk jewelry. Scored a first for me, 2 gold colorerd $1.00 american presidents coins. A Washington and an Adams. Also 3 wheats,42, 51, & a 56! Total score- 2 one dollar coins 10 quarters,9 dimes 4 nickels, 61 mem. pennies and 3 wheats. I am going to try to post the pictures, hope this works. Ed in co. ( picture loading failed, sorry! )

I have my MT ready to go out in the snow also. It's been getting warmer here in Minnesota. We have gotten quite alot of snow this winter, mountains in the parking lots, end of peoples driveways and so on. I have seen lots and lots of people sledding all over the place this year. More than I have seen for quite a few years.
I think parking lots around shopping malls and stuff may have lots of change and who know what else also.
 
Total hunt time was about 2.5 hours until a wet wind driven snow storm ran me off!
 
What state you in Ed?
I'm thinking people with MT's on the East, North East coast may fild lots of stuff with all the snow the have received.
 
Colorado, south central part, in the san luis valley, about 7500 ft elevation. Ed
 
Hey Ed - what MD do you use? I live in IL now but plan to move to CO this summer. Near Alamosa actually. How is soil up above the valley? Do you find things are buried pretty deep?

Thanks!
 
I use a bounty hunter pioneer 505 and a tracker IV. The soil here is very highly mineralized so you need a machine that can handle that, preferably able to adjust to changing conditions. The tracker IV however seems to do fine. As far as depth goes, coin shooting in the town parks, nothing over 4 inches, but in the old mining ghost towns and early Spanish settlements, things can get deep. ( 9" to 10" )
