Being able to detect in January here in Michigan is a bonus! I hit one of my favorite places on Saturday and managed to dig through the frozen ground and found 4 silvers! Some parts of the park were too frozen while others portions of the park the ground was barely frozen at all.
I found lots of Wheaties but no other old coins or relics. The 1905 S barber dime was my first silver coin of the year. Then the 1918 D, 1941 and 1935 mercs.
Stay warm! Jared

Grats on some silver first hunt of the year, esp a barber. So far the ground hasn't frozen enough, or long enough to end detecting for the season.
Future goals: Capped bust coin, Flowing hair LC, Classic head LC, VT copper, MA copper, Pistareen, Two-cent pc, SLQ, GW inaugural button, Excelsior button, Civil war token, and a gold ring.
