Waiting for the snow to melt is making me fidgety.
I drove to one of the parks to see if there was any open ground I could detect for a short while. Unfortunately, once there I saw that most of the fields were still covered with snow and ice. There was a small area not far from where I parked my car having only a thin layer of snow or none at all, so I decided to work that. I didn't pick up any silver coins, but I did manage to dig up a sterling silver locket and a corroded Fugio cent. I left when my toes started to give out on me.
It's not pretty but I still like it - a 1787 Fugio cent.
The locket too made detecting through the snow worth the effort
It isn't a Timex, so it isn't ticking.
I was only able to dig in the ground where there is grass. All other exposed ground was too frozen to dig through. Maybe this weekend will be better and I can have another shot at a silver coin or two.
HH!
