DIGGER27
In Memory Of
More important than ever to me because I just got a new heater, I think it may get pretty accurately deep but can't find out unless I can get down there.
Real deep here is 8-9" that's all I need but even 5-6" has a nice layer of masked quality treasure.
The baking heat appears to be gone now, we might still get to the low 80's here and there but it won't affect much and I have been sitting out most of the summer as I usually do because of the heat, humidity and destruction I would do in nicer lawns and park grass areas because you just can't dig in concrete.
Woods areas are an option but so many mosquitos and other bugs and overgrown vines with stickers and thorns that will hurt you.
My prime season is fall through to spring, the ground never freezes so even winter hunting is fine but every year we need at least one soaking rain after the heat to soften up the ground to really get my season up and running and we haven't got that yet.
We were grazed by Sally but not enough to help at all.
The other day I went to an old park, got some deep signals but couldn't get to them, I had to literally chop my way down to 1-2" to recover targets.
Frustrating.
In good times much easier, I can go as deep as I care to easily even at that park.
Today we are getting rain from Beta.
I don't want issues, we don't need flooding but a nice all day steady rain should do it and I think that may be happening.
Maybe a couple of hours with a few slightly heavier thunderstorms.
I hope so...there is not much more rain being forecasted around here until late October.
Sitting out the frozen ground cold months in Kansas was hard, sitting out the very uncomfortable summer months here is just as hard and even those few times I did get out it was miserable and not great fun.
I just want to hunt again normally, in comfortable temps and easy to dig dirt.
Those hidden treasures are still waiting for me to find them, I just know it, and my new detector just might be up to the task to help me do just that.
Here's hoping Season Late 2020 is about to begin!
