Frozen ground or not, IM GOIN!, glad i did 1848 LC

[cjon455]

Hey guys, today started out miserably cold but I Just had to get out, Ive only been out once this year so far and it did nothing for my itch for old coins/relics, so I headed out to my cornfield and it was cooooooold to start: on my way up the thermometer went as low as 19 and I thought, I don't care im going anyway lol. Only was there 2 hrs and managed about 10-11 targets and I had to work for every one of them as the ground was frozen solid under those corn stalks, dug a few pieces of lead, a few small buttons, some square nails and then FINALLY, a nice high repeatable 90-91 on the atpro, turns out it was a 1848 large cent with pretty nice detail first LC of 2014!, it was about 4" down and I have no idea how I didn't hit it with my shovel considering I was pretty much scraping and chopping away at the ground to get it, anyhow, needless to say I was pretty pumped so I rushed to my car to get my cellphone to get a few shots of it fresh out of the ground, after that I had a nice high tone 88-91 and I tried to live dig it and it ended up being a junky piece of ironoh well maybe next time I can live dig a nice target, thanks for looking and HH!!

Thank you sir

these are all the coins Ive found at my favorite spot, besides the two with holes in them, they were found elsewhere, how does one find so many large cents/2 centers/shield nickels etc?, cornfields brother......cornfields lol. I would've never found all these if it wasn't for my favorite cornfield. Im only at this 18 months so far

Nice hunt, Cjon. I tried one of the cornfields after work this afternoon, but the ground was too frozen for the side digger still. Channel 16 says below normal temps next week too

I remember once when I decided that I was going anyway! Ice or no ice! I broke 2 shovels and a screwdriver, then limped back home.

Nice find!!

At least you got a bit o green for St. Paddy's Day.
