Got out today for my first hunt of 2014 in Illinois, temp was around 42, ground was super saturated in some places to the point holes would fill up with water after the hole was dug. Went to the sledding hill to see what I could find, well it still had snow on it:drool: The park is also used for soccer, football and baseball so I moved to the areas where there was no snow. First good find was a 1992 clad half dollar, a good start, then a junk rosary cross. After an hour or more of clad, I came across a nice silver signal and
out came a nice 4.5g ring. Rescanned 2 inches over and another 5g ring was dug. Moved over about three feet and got yet another sweet silver sound, this time it was a 6g Creed Sterling silver religious medallion. No old coins but I wasn't counting on that for this location. Its been a long winter and I am glad "spring" is here. Thanks for looking.
