You DOG!!!!, It's 38 and snowing here on Long Island, looks like we got an ice storm coming tonight and tomorrow, good luck out there let us know what you find!!

No hunting today except for barnicales. It's a work day. I have one of those bad jobs. Work on the water 2 or 3 days a week. Gues I should say under the water. But it gives a retired guy something to do. Cold water keeps you young at heart.

Still sounds better then being stuck in this office!!, besides you never know what you might spot on the bottom, I would have trouble not looking down all the time!!

We actually got snow here in our So. Ca. mountains from this last storm - up to 10" in places that might normally see 2-3" all winter. Gets cold at night 30's, but is nice during the day at low 60's.
BTW, since it seems most of you live in the colder climes, I have a question that youmight or might not be able to answer. Since it is a known fact that when there is more detectible depth when the ground is wet (ie: after a storm), how is depth affected by frozen ground? Not sure this can be answered since it seems like you can't dig it anyway to find out. 8)

Coin,

I have broke two knife's tryng to dig frozen ground I don't do it anymore.

The best hunting happens when the snow starts to melt and the ground is digable.

I can't tell you why but thats when i seem to find most of the rings.

Hey Coinshooter, I'd argue the wet vs. ground depth question. Firstly, ground that is wet is expanded possibly putting more depth on the target and not necessarily letting you read it any better. Water content and mineral content would mix to add conductivity to the ground itself, not the target. This means GB is offset and that could be either positive or negative.

I have found deep targets in frozen ground that read clearly and could not locate them in the spring when the ground was still wet but not frozen. I've also found that my deepest targets came out of dry ground and I've hunted during those near-biblical downpours before! I do think there is a wider field effect from wet ground that possibly interferes with target separation and this affects the number of targets dug that would not false in dry ground.

Only got to 70 degrees today and the only treasure I found was this Ladies boat.

19 but supposed to get to 55/65 by weekend. Maybe won't have to jumpstart the detector after all!
