The sun has pretty well set at 5 PM. It makes for some short hunts, but some is better then nothing. No snow on the ground, and even though the ground is frozen or real hard, the nice analog sound of the Scorpion, pinpointing off the tip of the coil allows you to guess with good accuracy the coins in the top inch or so. Most of these can be simply popped out of the ground using a screwdriver. The deeper stuff can wait until next spring. I was hoping for a ring or two in these last couple of sports fields, but I was happy to get a beautiful girls butterfly hair bret and some loot.
