I wasn't going to go MDing today but after I got done with some of the running a round I had to do I was at the PC an I checked the radar and I saw that their was a big ban of snow about 3 counties west of me slowly moving this way. I thought to myself that this could be my last chance to MD this year so off I went to a field that use to be part of a old school grounds. So far this year I have found over 30 silver coins and 2 of them were walkers, plus old nickels and wheat's from this field. I got there about 2:30 an I went to the area that I have done the best at in the past. I went in to AM mode because this area is full of iron and I was swinging real slow checking out every lil signal I got in hopes of finding one more silver for the year. I was picking up a wheat here an there for a total of 6 wheat's.
I was checking out a real iffy signal an a couple of times I swung my coil a lil wide and I got a screaming #45 off to the side of the other target. so I went to that target and I didn't really do must of a PP on it. I just dug out some dirt and I checked the hole an the signal was gone so it must be in the pile of dirt. I go though the pile of dirt an nothing is there, WTH. I grab the MD and I check the area an I get the screaming #45 right where I had the pile of dirt. So I take my shovel an dug out some dirt in that spot and when I flipped the shovel over their it was,,, Lucky number 13, a beat up and wore down 1917 Walker and that was my 200th silver coin this year. After finding that coin I said to myself,. I'm freezing my butt off an I'm going home. I'm done for the year........ unless it gets back up in to the 50's in the next few weeks, lol
