By early afternoon it wasn't even frozen here in central Illinois yesterday. At the second park I went to the ground was as soft as butter. Easy diggin'.
It's supposed to be 62 degrees in Olney, Illinois this Saturday. Shouldn't be frozen at all.

Harvey, I grew up just a few miles north of you in Flora. I detected a lot in Clay County when I lived there until 1986. I never detected in Fairfield, but I did make it down to Wayne County for a few hunts in Cisne and Rinard.

My parents and brother still live in Flora so I visit there often. Next time I'm headed down that way I will give you a heads up and maybe we can get together for some detecting.
I really don't want to intrude on you guys but if I don't detect soon im going to have a nervous breakdown,we just got 11 inches of snow today and it was the biggest loudest most obnoxious slap in the face ive seen in a long time.So if I could get together with you guys in the next week that would be awesome Thanks... crying01
I honestly dont have a clue what im doing but im trying 
I need some expert to show me whats up. I have dozens of old house places and have stumbled on a few large cents but i need some advice on how this is done! Make sure you send me a PM when you are heading this way and we can see what we can work out. Do you guys hunt old houses much? Are some better than others?
