I went to 3 different locations until I found a place that was somewhat detectable. This final spot was a combination of ice flows, a few open areas and ice mush! I wore a chest wader, and could only stay in 4 feet of water for short periods of time, as it was COLD!

Here's what some ice mush looks like. Long thin strands of ice that kind of stick together, yet it is possible to walk through them. In this scoop of ice mush was a bottle cap. :)

A fair distance out in the water, there was a golf ball sitting on top of an ice flow. Some guy must have recently fired a bucket of balls from shore out in the water. I did find a few other golf balls.

Here's the good, the bad and the ugly! Funny thing......not one bottle cap is identical to another. What are the chances? No cold-gold in the scoop today. I tried.

Here are the coins from today. A nice variety! It sure was nice to get out today. :thumbup:
 
Well that must be a first the an armadillo...being swung around in the world biggest Slushie.
If your ice was making eerie sounds as the swells move through it, that may have hindered the armadillo's ability to lock onto the cold gold.
It was either that or his shivering was just to much for him to concentrate on his given task.
I will have to watch all of the Cumberland Farms Slushies for golf balls. Weird!
I have had to make my way through some slush to get to free water, but NEVER detect in it like you did. Awesome.
I bet some of the detectorists have never seen a detecting area like you have pictured here.
Have you ever broken off sheets of ice and push the broken pieces under the ice further out so you would have a clear area to detect?
Glad spring has sprung and the ice is breaking up for you...Keep us amazed!
 
Wow you are really keen...that must have been cold. We are just heading into the NZ winter now...but still not like that here in Auckland! That is real dedication!
 
Is that dedication? I do believe John is stir crazy, delirious, or he is just totally insane to MD in a slurpee.
You'll be okay John, I hear they have Meds for that :)
