Hello All,
Up in Minnesota. Went down to the southern part of the state where it is not bone dry. Found a few sites with some coins. This is from three days of detecting, probably 8-10 hours total.
And now we have a couple of inches of rain locally so I can get out again.

No key dates or spectacular finds. One site was quite clean of trash and free from electrical interference. Was able to crank the sensitivity to the mid/high twenties. Amazing how you can get real faint but flutey signals that can only mean deep silver. At lower sensitivities signals are more choppy and broken up. Judging by the dates and wear of the coins at 8" that were very marginal signals there may be older stuff down deeper. I usually find more mixed with trash than deep. Perhaps need to go back in the spring when the grass is short and put on the WOT.
Good luck
Chris
