Got Skunked, Zero, Nada On A Snow Hill, But Lookey What I Got In The Trees In The Woods:biggrin:

[John-Edmonton]

Cold, windy with a wind chill of -26, and I didn't even get a penny after about an hours hunt. Then about 15 sledders showed up, so I left. Being somewhat discouraged, I went home, grabbed my camera, my mono camera stand and a bag of sunflower seeds. In a favorite spot in the river valley, I set my AT Pro in the trees and stood by with my camera, waiting, waiting, waiting and I was not disappointed.

And Finally....The "STAR CHICKADEE" (bowing)

Some cool pics. One of the reasons I love MD'ing is just being outside. True, you may not always find anything but you have the right spirit about it. I can dig it!

And the bird was nice enough to not leave a present on top of your detector? Way to go...

Happy New Year !!

Wow that is cool. How far was you from that Bird ?

 

[John-Edmonton]

I was about 10 feet.

 

[John-Edmonton]

Wouldn't matter anyway....I would have just washed it off with a hose, as it's water proof.

 

[John-Edmonton]

I have to agree on that aspect too! And there are other spin offs from the hobby too, like coin collecting, reading/experiencing history, exercise, stress reduction, photography, making new friends......just to name a few.

John if you put seed money on top of the detector, will other monies show up??? I wonder how long you will have to wait? Will it be clad or silver? Will it be dirty or clean?
Just wondering???? Happy Trails....Z
