More snow detecting and a few finds...

[Bavaria Mike]

The local ski resort opened today, my wife and daughter had big plans of going skiing and I planned on detecting however, my daughter tried on her old ski boots and they no longer fit her. No way to get her replacements on a Sunday here in Germany. I went detecting to the same field as yesterday, just a little higher up the hill, less snow. Had to drive through a 2’ snow drift to get to the field and the 4X4 had no problem getting through that one, the other entrance to the field had a good 3’ snow drift and I had to back out of it as I knew I would get stuck, LOL. Did 45 minutes here and did not find much. The wind was screaming, no flurries but a lot of drifting snow. Found an ox shoe, spoon, and a few pieces of scrap. Got cold so I moved on, driving around warming up looking for another site protected from the wind.

Went back to a fishing lake, they usually drain this one and it was empty. Although it is a fishing lake, I have seen several people swimming here so I gave it a try. Much less wind but my feet got cold again after 30 minutes as I did not get warmed up enough from the last hunt. I found 11 fishing weights, part of a lure and a 20 Euro cent coin. Here’s a picture of the dock and club house, the dock is about 7’/230CM tall at the end.

Finds of the day, not much but I had a good time! HH, Mike

Wow, you are putting me to shame. I stayed inside because we had 2-3 inches and it was 25 F.
