27 actual, wind chill of 17, when I hit the woods this morning. The LTD and I were ready, though, for a good hunt and I was dressed for the occasion. Of course, it didn't hurt that my very first target within the first ten minutes out of a ivy patch was a silver dime. A 1942d Merc. Within a foot of the Merc., I got the 3 wheat cents, surprisingly, all 1944. The other most notable find was the key, which I forgot to take a picture of. It is an American Motors car key. Some history surrounding the co., but won't bore you all any more. Digging, as you can see from the first picture, was a little muddy with all the rain we've had of late. Had on the small 6 1/2" coil again. HH jim tn

Probably not, Joel. I don't like carrying a blowtorch, sledge and chisel when I hunt. Slows me down to much.
