First Hammered of 2025! 😎 xx

[blossom]

Ahh the joy of winter digging …. Hard frost over night means digging the signals is a challenge in the morning, but by the afternoon the defrosting mud makes for slippery going and slimy mud everywhere!

Not sure what this first one is, it looks like it had 4 prongs off it originally, same for the next one but feels Roman! Then I found this fantastic little spoon, couple of buckles, then 2 pics of the next one, like a clog strap but bigger, nice little complete thimble, then a bashed one with a corset stay, belt loop, modern buckle, 3 Livery buttons, buttons, pre dec, Victoria six pence (Himself’s first silver of the year) 2 scrappy Romans, then my glorious short cross cut hammered, makes the freezing cold, mud and constant nose running totally worth it!

Now the long wait till next weekend! 🙁 xx

HARD FROST HA How aBOUT 6 to 8 inches of frozen ground LOL

Always to the extremities with you Americans. We have moderate frosts in England just as we have moderate sunshine. We actually even have more twisters than in America however they are moderate ones that maybe catch a plastic bag and throw it into the air a foot or two.
same with storms. We have them too but you wont hear about the entirety of Cornwall needing to be rescued in ones wake.
As for fires. Maybe too soon but if you smiled a little less with a pasty look lacking vitamin C like us due to grey skies and perpetual drizzle then that too wouldn't be an issue as everyrhing is piss wet.

This morning here where I live it is 7 degrees F Would this create frost or frozen ground ?

I also might add I have 8 inches of snow on top of the ground. In good way the snow kind of insulkates the ground
