A buddy of mine had lost his keys while hiking to his trail camera so I figured I would try to help him so I went to his site which is an area I have been dying to hit. We retraced his steps in the snow 2-3 times with no luck. He was then satisfied that the keys were not there and then told me they may possibly be at another location... I was dissapointed that I didn't find the keys but he then offered to let me hit up the area since I had about an hour before I had to go to work. I did alot of exploring trying to cover alot of area in a short amount of time. I came up with the typical finds, shotgun shells, bullets etc. about 15 minutes before I had to leave, I got a good hit definitely not in the shot gun shell or lead category, yet not in the silver, or usual copper category. I dug about 4-5 inches and out pops a smaller disk with a beautiful green tinge dotting the edges. I first thought it was an indian head penny, but a second look definitely said no. Turns out it was a 1774 George III Farthing!!! Unfortunately I didn't find anything else before I had to go to work, but it was definitely worth it. Hope to hit the area again soon, but looks like it may be awhile with snow and cold temps...
