Went back to my sled hill today only to find it has thawed a bit and there is water no under the snow and some of this is more ice I have the chip though. Here is the site I was at.

I got my usual new coins looking for the gold people may have lost, got may signals I couldn't get at being they were deeper than the snow and the ground froze. Some I didn't think they were as deep as the said to be, but once I got down the frozen ground the Uniprobe was weak or no signal at all, so they had to be over 10 inches deep as the snow and ice was 6-7 inches deep. Seen where a coin on edge don't read real good like some detectors as i got a decent signal and started chipping away at the snow and checked again and now I just barely got it and looked in the hole and down 6 inches a memorial penny I could see.
I was paying more attention to my nickle signal and did dig some pull tabs that read as nickles. Got a few small pieces of alum foil too, then I get a nickle reading that showed down 7 inches, so I dig out the snow and ice and find water under it and finally used my probe and seen it was still in the hole with the water and ice. I chipped away at the ground trying to get this target and while pulling the water and ice out with my pick I thought I seen gold. Now my heart almost stopped when I seen that and pulled more out and I seen it with the slush.

Looking at it I must have hit it with the pick trying to get it free of the hard ground. I was able to straighted it a bit as I have a ring sizer to straighten rings. I looked at the marking under a loop (my eyes are not what they used to be)and hoping it would say 14K, but it says 14KF instead. I am still happy with it as it is better than nothing.

Total for the day was 5 quarters, 7 dimes, 1 nickle and 16 Memorials plus a kids toy helicopter which it may be a Hot Wheels.
This sure is helping my cabin fever, now I will catch cold beng I got so wet.
One more thing is the tones went back to 1 again today twice and feel BuckeyeBrad is right as both times is when I set the detector down,or rather droped it from around 5 inches so it got a slight jar. I forgot to look if my disc went to 10 as I was using 25.
