Got out this morning in S. Michigan, Exp II in tow. I think i got blisters from having to cut thru the first inch or so of frost, but it was worth it. This site I'm hunting just never lets me down, its a ballfield still in use, was at one point a fairground for a short time.
These hits are now about 7-8" deep, easy digging once past the frost line. Got my second barber dime this month, never thought I'd be out twice now in Feb. Also scored a '36 merc, '11 v-nickel, '05 Indian and a 1950 uncle sam play quarter, which I thought was an old worn quarter, as it came out shiny. I really feel confident with the Exp II, and being a newbie I don't see that there's too much of a learning curve, just get out and swing!
