I thought I was done for the winter but after reading a response by mud-puppy about hitting sledding hills I thought I'd give it a go.
John-Edmonton had made a post and I looked at his you tube page and he had a video of setting up the detector for extreme cold. I did make a minor change as to what he showed but he gave me what was needed to do this winter detecting proper like.
I drove clear into Erie this morning to a sledding hill I knew of. It was just over 20f. and set my detector up per John's suggestions.
The ground was incredibly hard. I didn't make any surface or in the snow finds. What I did find was maybe 1 or 2 inches below the surface. With a lot of effort I could pop a plug. So I ended my hunt early. The ground was just too frozen for me. I didn't have any real success...one penny and two bottle caps.
There was only a couple inches of snow in town so I'll wait for more snow to do another hunt. Mud did have a good idea about the sledding hills and I'll make it back eventually. It was nice getting out none the less.
