I know you guys in Ca. will laugh, since you're able to hunt year-round. But, in Ohio we haven't had the greatest winter. 
It's no fun to try to hunt in snow and/or take a chisel to try to chip frozen ground. But, last weekend temp. was about 50, and my Explorer XS ("Julius") was chomping at the bit to go outside. I went to a local spot, which is usually good for a couple of $, and thought I'd see what turned up. I was pleasantly surprised to get a new high total for one day in clad coins, with $15.91 and this very nice sterling .925 St. Christopher's medal. Maybe it's a good sign that the new year will be a good one. Happy hunting to all from Carolyn in Ohio.

Last year I found some nice IH cents, a Barber dime, CW token and a few artifacts at an 1850's farmhouse not too far from me. Every once in a while I'll go there to see if I can find anything else. Today all I found was an old nail about 6" deep. I think I can cross this place off my list. And, Ralph, I do have a trip planned soon, but not to Ca. I'll be in Ky. for a few days but hope to get out a few days down there to hunt. Goldhart, I had heard that Chris was demoted, too, but I think it's still a nice medal to add to my collection of religious items. Jim--I have names for all my detectors. Another one I use quite often is "Caesar", which was a variation of CZer for the Fisher CZ6a. So, it's only natural that Julius/Caesar usually go on trips and alternate detecting time. This is really a nice forum. Now, I'll have to figure out how to do a lot of the extras I've seen--like the signature and maybe different colors. Have a good day, everybody.
