I don't ever remember being able to detect at the end of January, this winter has not been much of a winter at all here in New England. This week we spent a few hours at a small wooded knoll outside of town, and did well with first 2020 finds:

Went back out yesterday to a spot close by that was much higher elevation, and even though only picked up a single silver coin it was a beauty:

Always hoping to see the O mintmark on the mid-1890s dimes, can't believe I found one. Great way to start off the year!

Nice job Steve!! I agree, this winter has been awesome, the woods are still very diggable for sure. I’m headed out to do a yard shortly, I’m hoping it won’t be too bad

Hey JD, was thinking the same thing! Light snow falling here in the mtns, good luck out there today
 

Absolutely awesome key-date Barber, but I'm a huge SLQ fan and the fact you nabbed 2 in one hunt- incredible- Congrats on.......EVERYTHING!
 

O, yeah! Hot DIME!
At 610,000 minted, that 1896 O is a rare lady! Congrats!
And, just like EVERYONE else, I think those SLQs are beauts, too!
Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.
 

Wow! Nicely done! You found some good stuff there, good for you! :thumbsup:

Nice dime find! Worth a few bucks! :icon_thumright:
 

Nice job on the key date Barber I love those standing libs Ive only found one its either a 1916 or 1917 cant tell cause of the date isnt readable.But great start indeed its going to be near 50 here in MI on Monday so I might go rip some lore out of the earths core lol Great post
 

Wow. Very nice start to the year. That's like half of the old silvers I'd find in a whole year haha. Keep it up!
 

Great finds in Mass! That KGII looks pretty nice given how they normally come out! Congrats on it all and that's a beauty of a Barber!
 

That is a nice Barber. Add those 2 Standing Libs to it, and you had a great day.
 

Congrats on the old coin shooting! :occasion14:
