With seven inches of snow on frozen ground it was a real treat to dig into soft dirt today. :smitten:

Ron called me last night letting me know he just drove by an old section of town that had the top 4-7 inches scraped away. :shocked04:
This afternoon I obtained permission for us to hunt the entire block and off we went with our gear.

The weather was pleasant and the ground beneath our feet was as soft as could be. It was a strange feeling having snowmobiles buzzing by across the street while digging coins. lol

Got my coil over a few keepers. All less than two inches deep. :)

Hopefully they'll scrape the other half by next weekend. :->

Nice job noticing the site Ron! :clapping:
 
Nice going Joe Those are some nice coins . Besides looking cool do you find that the brown backround you use makes it easier to get your lighting right for your pictures ? :perfect10: |:cheering:
 
:perfect10: :clapping: :clapping:! Fantastic finds, and good luck! I can't believe that just finding a dozed area. Could bring such treasures. Congrats! |:cheering: And I hope you find more goodies from that dig. WTG!!
 
good job taking advantage of the removed dirt. every time i see a site like that, its always a bust! lol congrats on some fine keepers!
 
You can't beat finding Barber Dimes and Indian Head Cents at only 2 deep! :happydance01:

That had to be a lot of fun! I am really glad that you were able to get out for a hunt, Joe, and that you had some success!

I love the Barber Dime and the sharp looking Indian! :smitten:

CONGRATS! :clapping:
 
Way to take advantage guys! thumbsup01
Joe nice finds!! I bet the Barber was a pleasant surprise! <:
The IH is in really nice shape! Thats a different patina to it! Kinda cool! :cool:
Congrats :grin:
 
Gotta love finding scraped dirt. All those keepers at only 2 is great. January 28th and you get to find soft dirt, fantastic.
 
lol Leave it to Joe to find old coins even with seven inches of snow on the ground :poke: lol

:perfect10: Way to go! Very nice.... and that park might offer some additional fun until it snows again :happydance01:
 
Thanks folks. thumbsup01 It was a nice break in the winter metal detecting lull to find soft ground. :smitten:

Hi Sheik, the background works pretty good. I tend to light my detecting finds pretty flat/average. Most backgrounds would work about the same. I'm still trying to find a new background for this year. :confused: I like to change it up each season.
