A Break from the Cold

[deershed]

We finally got some decent weather with the temps. hitting the mid 40's. Ground was still pretty much frozen solid down 4" but the boy and I are still trying to figure out our new AT Pros so we went swinging.
Went back to the same little small patch at out new Colonial site where we can dig some plugs (chop) and not worry what our holes look like.
Hard to figure out a new machine when you can't dig but, we learned a little more and found a flat button each. It was nice not fighting the wind and cold but, still had to fight the snow and frozen ground. Can't wait for better weather and digging conditions.

You guys are hard core!

It was nice out today, felt like Summer with the temps. in the 40's. lol

Sweet, break that ice!

nice to see someone else diggin' in the snow. Our snow melted so I'll try and get out tmrw and check out the ground. Should be fun.

Nice buttons!, that's how it's done, continuous use brings more knowledge, I can tell sometimes what I have w/o even looking at the #s, just the tones and how loud they are, the length of time I hear them etc.

keep at it!!

Nice..

Well, at least making the memories with your son has to be pretty warming.

Nice!

Awesome to see your still managing to dig something up in that mess. Good for you!

Ha, you guys have the fever bad, I love it. Last winter I was running around detecting in the snow with a hammer and a hatchet. That one button I believe is for sure a 1700's button. Nice
I'm not the best at dating buttons, but I think both buttons are great finds. Can't wait until the thaw for you to hit that spot, there could be some old silver there no doubt.

WOO HOO ! You fought the frozen ground and took home the prizes! Nice! Congrats!

That must of felt good to get out there detect and dig up treasure!

Glad your weather back off some so you two could test out the new machines


We would need a large back hoe, a front loader, and a semi to haul the snow away in, just to get to the rock hard frozen ground to detect....but at some point in the future we hope to be able to detect and dig with out all the heavy equipment.

for the circumstances, I have to say awesome finds. great bonding time too.

 

[Carolina Tom]

Just seeing you on the ground with all that snows tells me all I need to know. You and the boy are HARDCORE!

Congrats on getting flat buttons out of the ground. Good show!

Ice hunters! I like that!

Thankfully snow is a great insulator and may have kept the ground less frozen than if it had not been covered. Here in North Jersey we have no hope. Still 6" of ice/snow and 5-6" frost layer beneath the ground. It'll be April 1st if were lucky.

Great finds and early one to boot. Keep hitting that area!

 

[I-DIG-IT]

Nice digs.

 

[deershed]

Thanks guys!!
We might be a little hardcore, more stupid and desperate to learn these new machines. Lol
Won't be long and the ground will be good to dig and we wanna be ready.
Somebody send a heat wave through.....

Here the ground was like concrete before the snow even came. I think it will be a long time yet before I get even a chance to go. Last year I hunted off and on the whole winter. Must be near two months now since I got out!

The weather man is calling for some warmer temps. over the next week or so. Looking at temps. in the 40's but , we could be seeing some rain too. Our new machines are water proof so the rain part might not be too bad. Lol
