    It has been gorgeous in Wisconsin and ground is thawed down to 4-5". Got out for 1st time in 2015 and my first silver of the year was a Washington quarter. never did that before, usually it's a dime. Let 2015 begin (2 weeks early). Wisconsin Digger

    A silver quarter is a sweet way to start the new swingin' season!
    Congrats!
    I went out in the back yard with my new Samson shovel last night after work and did a test plunge too.
    It's about the same here. The top 4-6 inches is a soft mush. But still hard and frosty under that.
    We're getting close now!

    Your first silver coin of 2015 was a quarter! How awesome is that?!

    I hope warmer weather is finally here to stay. Almost all of our snow is melted here now except for the big piles.

    Congrats on your first hunt of the year!
