Yesterday I spent over three hours on the beach at the waters edge with my Dual Field and walked away with .56 (Tax Free!). Of course it cost me maybe $1.50 in gasoline to drive there and home again! 
Temps were all the way up to +31 degrees F, but the sun was shining which helped. A little over an hour into the hunt the sun disappeared and a cold wind started making things less fun. I experimented with listening for different signal responses as a way of avoiding digging every nail etc on the beach and only removed twenty or so by listening for the "double blip'.
I dug three or four steel washers that sounded a lot like quarters.
Today we're about to float away from a steady/snow-melting rain. At 36 Degrees F we should get rid of some of the piles of ice and snow now.
Here's hoping,
CJ
