Ok, North Texas has been pounded with rain for a long time now. I detest nasty, wet digs in clay about as much as cold or hot temps. No rain expected here for the next few days at least, but you can count on getting very muddy for at least the first few days.
Is the increased sensitivity worth the mess? I really doubt the leftover, missed silvers are deep, but masked coins. I have to be open minded though and wonder...are abnormal deeper ground moistures in ground(clay) possibly a keen condition?
I know for a fact after digging a hole here at home last Monday, that the dry line was around 10-12 inches, then it was dry, but filled in with water real fast. That depth of moisture here is unusual. That dig was at the beginning of the week, so it's surely deeper now.
Anybody here get out detecting in messy ground on purpose, instead of giving it a couple of days to get way less muddy in digs?
