Best Christmas Eve ever!

[A. Fitzpatrick]

Did some traveling from Virginia up to Vermont for Christmas to see family. It’s cold and there is no shortage of snow. I assumed the ground would be pretty frozen but brought my detector anyway. I shoveled The snow off of a few areas of the front yard and to my surprise the ground wasn’t too hard, so I started swinging! Found a wheat penny, some modern coins, toy truck and some junk. I had to run around and do some last minute shopping and see the wife’s family. Got back after dark and decided to give it another shot.. put on my headlight and got back to it. After an hour and finding about 5 pennies.. I was about ready to quit and got another decent signal.. so I dug it and what I found blew my mind! First Morgan ever!

Congrats on the Christmas eve Morgan. They seem to like to get rescued on Dec 24th. Here's the one I pulled 12/24/2016, a little while later I dug my 1st class ring. Both were bucket listers.

No excuses from you! That's a great example and a pretty good story too. Congratulations

Many people who have been detecting for many many years still haven't found one. I was lucky and found one my second year .This is a good sign Merry Christmas Tommy

Nice biggie congrats on your first.

Normally snow will insulate against frozen ground, its when its frozen first before the snow its an issue.

Thanks everyone, and merry Christmas! My moms house where I dug that coin was built in 1860 so I’m sure there is more to find on her property. It will have to wait until spring as I am headed back to Virginia, but you can bet I’ll be hitting it a whole lot more.

OK, that settles it. I am headed out the door to freeze my butt off AGAIN! Thanks for the inspiration to do what most "sane" folks would never consider. Congrats on that once in a lifetime HUGE coin find for most folks. Time to warm up the Command Vehicle.
