Metal detecting in the woods is my favorite kind of hunt. There's something very satisfying about rolling a log out of the way and discovering a coin or a relic under it. Stumbling and pushing through thick brush and deadfalls to get to that area over there and being rewarded with multiple sweet high tones and knowing, at the end of the hunt, that your bag is full of goodies because you were willing to fight the wind and the rain and cold mud and the sticker bushes to get them.
That's how most of my hunts have been this winter. But my efforts have paid off with some excellent finds, no thanks to mother nature.
My last two hunts have been on the woody fringes of areas that have been pounded by by myself and others but these areas were thick with tangled brush and blackberry canes so I can see why no one hunted them but I just wanted to know if any good stuff was there. There was.
