Default Determined to beat the snow

Well, last snow nearly gone and another on the way this afternoon... I was determined to sneak some detecting in that window of opportunity. The results: $2.51 in clad, one 1969 mexican "cinco centavos", 1 1957 wheat, one copper bead with dolphins, 2 matchbox cars (actually, one is a large bus that was burried quite deep), and... I beat the snow!

Happy hunting, y'all!

WOOOT, WTG.

Nice hunt for sure.

I still have a small area in my front yard with ice left. I've been up here since '96 and never had snow stay this long. I've had snow/ice on the ground since early December.

congrats on the day out, the snow staying so long must be down to the GLOBAL WARMING .

Probably a necklace or bracelet.
