I went back to my old 1800's farm site deep in the woods on Sunday and endured three hours of snow squalls/sun/snow squalls/sun you get the picture. The snow was coming down in little round pellets and covering the ground quickly. Then, the sun would come out and it would be very comfortable and the snow would just disappear. Unfortunately, my efforts failed to pay off there - again 
. I go out thinking, "Today is going to be the day," and it almost never is. I've found a large cent, two Indian head pennies and a silver Rosey (hunter/hiker drop) but not what I'm really after: old silver or better. I did get some good exercise and three hours of peace, so I can't complain too much.
Yesterday was a fabulous day in Western PA; sunny, in the mid-60's, wonderful! Late in the day, I hit Miss halfdime some fly balls, but I snuck in a quick hunt across the street before picking up the kids from school. This was my reward for a good day of "real" yard work; after adding on in the last eight months, it's time to put things back together out there! You can only be out there so long before the Sirens start calling and you grab the detector and go. The soil is very moist, which always makes for better detecting and easy digging. Late in the hunt, I got a nice quarter signal and wasn't disappointed when I dug; at about five inches, I could see silver in the hole and hoped it would be just a little bit older. I found a puddle nearby and was able to wash enough dirt off to see the eagle on the back. A more thorough cleansing revealed the 1941.
