COLD...it's coming!

DIGGER27 · Nov 9, 2014

Yesterday morning I got out early and we are in the middle of our first cold snap of the winter season.
I misplaced my warmer winter hunting gloves so my hands got freaking cold till the sun rose up higher.
Not enjoyable hunting like that for me at all.
I do not like when my hands and feet get cold, something that happens much more often as I aged.

Also some of the soil I was digging in started to show a hint of hardening if it was exposed to the cold wind the night before.
We will get up into the 60's today and tomorrow, then a nose dive into the 30's at least for the next week after that.
I can dress up warmer and deal with some cold, and even a little snow or a bit of frozen soil doesn't bother me especially if I head into the woods with a nice protective and warming layer of leaves...but I can see the beginning of the end of the season starting.
Shut down and not digging for several weeks every winter is NOT a good thing for my piece of mind.

Trying to get in all of the hunting I can before it gets here. Hoping it doesn't last.

You have that Morgan silver dollar you just dug to hold and look at all winter to get you through...it would do that for me.
All I have is a little silver and gold jewelry and a walker half.

Just be glad you're nit from Wisconsin. Our ground freezes rock solid fir 3 to 4 months of the year. I am going to use the winter to research all my finds, vlean all my finds, and research nrw spots to detect next year.

Also I will spend countless hours on YouTube trying to decide what machine I would buy if I can talk the wife into it. Right now the v3i is winning but the.f75 is in a close second place because of its weight and speed. I just don't understand why a more expensive detector like these are not waterproof.

Ditto here in upstate NY. The last few mornings have been chilly with that artic plunge heading this way. I figure I got a few more weekends left and then that's it. I made it til December 5th last season. This season has been great so far and look forward to sharing pics down the road in a few weeks..good luck to all who face the winter weather for our last gasp of activity. 4 months of no detecting in winter seems like a year..I guess its the price we pay to live in our respective areas.....HH to all !

With winter storm "ASTRO" on the way,
I think today will be/or was my last hunt of the year?
I hit a park this afternoon finding $1.00 In clad.
Bringing my clad total (Since Sept.) to $18.64
I wish I would have started sooner this year. I LOVE THIS HOBBY!
Winter is gonna be too long, I'll have to get back into the Ice fishing mode!
I might hunt at my Uncles in N.E. Mo. around Thanksgiving depending on the Temps. by then....?

It was about 35 degrees here today. Suppose to get upwards of 26 inches of snow over Monday and Tuesday.

There is about 4" on the ground at my place, so far. Areas away from Lake Superior are getting more. I just hope this winter is not as nasty as last year's.

I think I might be the only one on here that is a little bit happy about the current weather trend...

My username has nothing to do with diamonds...

I can detect year round as long as I stay above the high tide line in the dry sand.
