It has been an unbelievable December in Wisconsin. Went out today and was hunting in 40 degree weather. First spot was not as good as I hoped but still pulled 3 Wheaties and a few clad. A couple of the Wheaties were pre 40's. I hit a 2nd spot as I had an hour of daylight left. Caught the peep of a high signal next to a pulltab and pulled a Rosie about 7-8" down. Later I hunted a gravel drive that must of laid over some original grass. I caught what I thought was a high squeak next to another lower signal. After pulling a pulltab I got a much better 12-46. Dug through two layers of gravel and some deep black dirt only to lose my signal. Hit the ground with the coil again and saw a pristine Merc laying on top of the ground. Might be the nicest Merc I ever pulled. To bad it was not an older coin. All in all another nice bonus day in Wisconsin. Merry Xmas all. Wisconsin Digger

Great job on the December Silver. I never expected to be able to detect this late in the year.
I hope the weather holds out for you.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
