I was Fiend'in for some oldies so I went detectin out in the rain...

Well I got the bug today so I figured to hell with it, I went out to scout a new set of woods for any goodies (It' been raining night and day here in Chicago for a few days now so I took my chances). Well the rain finally slowed to a drizzle so I jumped out of my car and darted to the spot that I wanted to check and first coin was a wheatie then 5 min later my Rosie then 2 more wheaties. I was only out for 30 min tops and got 4 keepers but in that 30min I was drenched so I will definitely be going back as soon as the weather cuts us some slack. I was flying around like a madman so I know I missed some deeper oldies. Oh I also found 2 clad quarters, 2 clad Rosies and 4 zinclons.

Going out I had my rain cover on my detector, a ziploc bag taped over that, another bag taped around the pinpointer housing, and 2 bags taped around my earcuffs. If anybody saw me going in or coming out they probably though I was a literial "Bag Man", oh and as you can imagine I was covered in mud too!!! Hope everybody gets a chance to get out and find some coins.

When the bug bites Fiend..there ain't no holding us back. Rain, sleet, snow ain't stopping us. Frozen usually stops me cold though
Nice digs.

WTG TF on braving the elements to overcome an addiction And yes, when the ground freezes it usually stops us. I have dug some frozen crust but there comes a time when you just can't do it anymore
