If you live in the snow belt.

Odds are the city may be scooping up Down Town snow and dumping it some place.. You want to find these snow dumps.. They may have been used for years, and will have quite an assortment of good stuff..Also, they can be searched during the winter....detectors work in cold weather. If you had some clay dust, wood ash to put on the sunny side, you can concentrate the items by causing the snow to melt more rapidly,,...Was taking Dan around to show him some spots.A snow dump site was a place we visited...Dan starts walking down the field road, looking at the ground, and didn't even notice the buck, head down watching him...Biggest little buck I've seen, about the size of a German Shepard with horns..That little guy wasn't giving an inch, so we left..What you do in the Winter is up to you, sitting still, watching TV and drinking beer are not my options..Cordially NAD

"...sitting still, watching TV and drinking beer are not my options.."

OK, I agree with not sitting still and not watching TV; but not drinking beer? Here in Wisconsin beer is one of the major food groups...

But, "Live Responsibly!"

Drinking beer? I sent some of that stuff out to a testing laboratory, and when the results came back, they said my mule had kidney trouble...Have some hopes of getting up to No Dak early this Summer, I'll try and bring a bottle of my Buddie's wine along..A good red wine cut 50 / 50 with 99.0 percent alky(?). and a draft (or drafts) for a chaser , depending on your thirst level..Good for your heart, Little salt, and will get you thinking there is life beyond plain beer..Also cheap, one glass and two drafts usually good for the evening. Two glasses, and you sleep where you drop..You are the group's designated drunk.....Cordially Nad

... is an even better place to search in the warmer months. Same stuff is there, and probably has been for as long as they've been dumping there. Best part is, there's no snow in May.
