DIGGER27
In Memory Of
It's been a long summer here in mid Alabama, I haven't been out more than a few hours in many, many weeks.
Tomorrow is the first day of fall and it will still hit 90, we are supposed to have some rain coming in on Sunday and it should drop the temps into the mid 80's for the next week with night temps still around the low 70's.
On the last day of the month nighttime temps could get down to the 60's...haven't felt that in awhile.
The first week in October we should be around the 70's during the day and, can't believe this...into the 50's at night.
There should be some rain all along the way helping to get the dirt softened up and ready for digging, right now it is still like concrete.
In Kansas I hunted in the spring, summer and fall and sat out the colder winters.
Here I sit out most of the summer after the heat rolls in and my season restarts in fall only after the weather starts to cooperate and then I can easily hunt through the winter into late spring with only a few days vacation on the rare cold days we might have.
Our dirt never freezes here, I do but unless it gets into the 20's I can dress warm enough to be comfortable and have a good time.
It seems like it has been a year since we had consistent, comfortable good hunting weather.
Early this summer I got a new detector, the 800 Nox, and a few weeks ago the needed sniper coil.
Limited hours out there with both, I have seen some great indications this set-up might work really, really well in my difficult mineralized, iron infested southern devil dirt but just a taste...I have been chomping at the bit for several months to get a chance to see what it can really do at tons of sites both new and especially old.
Now it is getting close to the time I can finally give my full attention back to the hobby and do it with some pretty cool new tools I get to learn.
Can't tell you how exciting this stuff is for me.
The second half of my 2018 season is about to start...let the games begin!
