22 inches of snow
- Thread starter T2
- Start date
I can so relate! I am here near Leesburg, Virginia, we got close to 30 inches. I anticipated this and went out for a few hours on Friday, found two Civil War bullets, an 1891 IH and a 1946 Roosevelt dime. I do not think I'll be getting out again for a while with all this snow on the ground.

I hear Ice Augers work great in Snow banks let's you punch right on through the drifts.If you wait a another month or so you can try out a chisel on the frozen ground as well. We feel your pain, just when I was going to the local Stream to suck up some Gold Gravel with my new crevice pump it had to start snowing and ruin that plan until spring.

Two inches of rain on Christmas may yield good hunting on Saturday for us No. Va. diggers. Let's hope it melts all the snow.

Hi,
I hunt in snow a lot and I find that the T2 give me more depth when the ground is frozen, the water is a conductor of electricity so it is the ideal time to go hunt the old hunted out sites! Living in the UK snow hunting is just a normal day out! Dress well, Dig hard and don't give up!

Hey Silverman 777.
I have to laugh at what you are saying because I know the winters in the U.K. are nothing like what we experience here in N.A. beleive me when the ground freezes here you won't be digging unless you have a backhoe. hihi

Haha, Go to the Gym build them muscles and show some commitment to your hobby man! If I hear a beep I dig and fight and bend the shovel use dynamite but out it comes! Ever tried to dig a Roman road? Almost impossible it is 1000's of small and big stones compressed by years of stomping on, then half an hour later you are down three inches sweating and cursing and out comes a modern 5p...... Hmmm calls for some colour-full language I tell ya!
Have fun.
If all else fails use Dynamite! Show some commitment to your hobby man hahahaha

All my muscles are on vacation at the moment, I tried pushing them to the top of my head and putting a elastic around them to form a bun but it broke, now all Im left with is a over - inflated tire, I told my friends it was controlled muscles but they argued and said it was more like a un-controlable one.
Yeah, I can imagine that Roman road I've met some Hard Pan roads here that I don't bother it's just to much effort to dig, Besides I need all that strength to lift the beer can after the hunt. hihi.
Wish I was in the U.K. detecting I use to have a radio friend whom lived in Devon area, he and his wife were caretakers of some Lord " F " - whatever his last name was - estate, he told me that the estate had been in that family name for over 700 years. He offered many times for my wife and I over to detect the estate, however we could not afford to go at that time. Now he is no longer caretaker there and I don't talk to him anymore on the radio since he moved away, he bought a farm somewhere on the outskirts of Devon, and he's into racecars now. I must see if I can find his address as I know he knows the family enough at least the Son of the Lord that permission to hunt might be granted if your interested in that, and since I can't go , of course I claim half of what you find haha.
