Default Did a little Dance!

Took the DFX out for the first official trip out of the yard today. There were some old large spruce trees at one of the local parks thats been around from the late 1800's. The canopy of the trees keep the ground clear of snow and formed little rooms under the boughs. I started working the roots and these little rooms out to the snow.After about 30 minutes I got a good solid signal and pinpointed to about 4 inches. Out came a small frozen plug, a little more digging...and I did the dance! My first Indian Head. The date was 1906, also my oldest coin to date.
