What a dreary day it was. Overcast and cold; not at all appealing. I headed out to detect anyway. This time I drove up to one of my old sites, 'merc city', since it's just a few minutes away. It has produced old silver over the years, though finds have been slim lately.

I skipped the snow covered open field as I have worked it many times on past trips, opting instead to work one of the site's dirt paths. I managed two silver coins from there, a 1947 Roosevelt dime and a 1943 Washington quarter. My toes were begging for warmth by that time, so I packed up and called it a day.

It's hard enough to find ONE silver coin in a day, let alone 2 (or more). Nice, Angel! :thumbsup01:
 
that place has been very good to you for alot of years now Angel and it is still coughing up silver coins for you. very well done man , congrats on the coins
 
Good Job Angel for being able to sneek just a couple more silvers... :thumbsup01: Yesterday I wanted to go out despite the cold, but just wasn't able to .. too much work to do.. but Im going today ..
 
Way to brave the cold Angel and you were rewarded again.. This weekend looks cold but I just got a ski cap so I'm good.. Nice Silver!
 
Way to brave the cold and snow Angel! I bet you had one of those special edition white Pro Coils swinging in that stuff! :lol: I have a feeling you are still going to eek out 450 before the season is over. :thumbsup01: Congrats on the silver!
 
Just can't put that machine away for the year can you?? :lol: :lol: Man do I feel for you when the ground freezes. We may have to take turns visiting you, or you may just go stir crazy :twirlingeyes: Nice that you still got out and the ground cooperated. 2 more silvers for the pile :thumbsup01:

I am hopelessly addicted!:lol: I may have to pile dirt in the basement and seed it with coins to keep me when the snow abounds outside. :grin:

Yeah, and we'll make a party of it. :lol:

It looks like this snow we just had will delay any detecting for some time. :bummer:
 
Nice finds Angel. I have to admit that a little snow on the ground wouldn't stop me from detecting today. The air temps are another matter. Today's high was 23, and it's getting down to 10 or lower tonight. Brrrr, I just can't take the cold!

Above freezing days are one thing, but when it gets in the low 30's or less, it's really not good for the machines. I almost lost my DFX that way. I knew it was time to quit when I saw patterns on the LCD display :lol: Only getting about 4 depth was another indication, she wasn't happy :crying02: So be careful if you want to go out detecting in the cold. It's not worth the money lost if it breaks. With that said, I think we are going out Saturday in the cold :lol: :lol: :crazy:

You're joking, right? :rofl: :bangshead01:

I'm sorry, I just had to try out some of these new smileys. I know I will be using some of them quite often :poke: :ticked: :lol:

coinnut, is the cold really harmful to the machines? I know the display used to do that on my ACE250, but I haven't had my other detectors out in the cold as much. It's terrible here today... 21 degrees, snowing, and the winds are howling. I thought I lived in the south? :confused:
 
Kudos to all you hardy cold weather hunters back there!!! :yes: To me it just sounds... :crazy: :tongue:
Haven't been able to get in here for awhile, so was wondering what your count is up to Angel??

It stands at 438. I was hoping to get the opportunity to add to it before year end, but I'm not so sure now. Too much snow. :bangahead02:
