The weather must be getting to me...

All the research I've been doing the past couple of weeks, plus this weird weather, has really given me a case of cabin fever.

Yesterday actually got up above freezing for a few hours, but not long enough to really melt the Fluffy White Crap. I was itching pretty hard to get out and hunt. I knew that any open grassy areas would be frozen pretty good, so I decided to hit the woods.

The last time I went into the woods, I hit a spot that gave up a Wheat, and had an old rosebush right besides it. I had also detected a lot of shallow coins along a trail, but when the first two zinc penny hits proved to be zinc pennies instead of IH's, I walked on, looking for something else. Yesterday, just for kicks and "itch relief", I decided to head out and recover that coin spill.

When I got there, there was about an inch or so of snow down. The trail itself was frozen about an inch into the dirt, but the grass-, leaf, and snow-covered areas on either side were thawed.

The first hit was very shallow, around an inch or two. When I recovered it, I realized it was a Wheat! '51D! I immediately got to thinking about an old coin spill, and set about recovering the coins. Of course, those were modern. About 10' from where the Wheat came up, I recovered a '50 roosie, also an inch down, and managed to scrape it slightly.

I think I may have turned over a new leaf. Snow hunting, here I come!

Those fellows down South are probably grinning but here in the North cabin fever is a reallity..Lets not forgot those sledding hills or even a saltwater beach(never freezes) if one is close as they also can help...Hang in there as about another month or so and we will all be good to go...
 
as we're planning a trip down to OK to see my parents. I'm already thinking about making a raid on one of my old haunts, a school that produces lots of goodies.
