Our weather still sucks to highheaven..

[Uncle Willy]

Got out between rains the other day for a short spell and hit three playgrounds fast and didn't find one cent. Went out today for about 30-40 minutes and found a hot eleven cents. It's just been to nasty for the kids ( or anybody ) to even get out in the playgrounds. I'm praying for dry and or sunshine.

Weather here in #$%@*&% isn't much better. Cold, snow, frozen ground, rain, snow and winter continues...

I thought I had seen everything until last week when several tornadoes hit northern illinois and southern wisconsin. It went from the 20's 2 days before to the upper 60's the day we had the bad weather. Now it's back in t6he 20's with highs in the low tee's coming our way. Curious as to how the cold weather affects the detectors since the frost has most likely left the ground leaving the opportunity to do some metal detecting. Yes, I agree, the weather definitely sucks. The last 4 summers we would see a lot of rain up until mid june then very little into se3pt leaving the ground asw hard as rock. I can remember when I did go out with the metal detector I would take along a small bottle of water to soften the ground. That SUCKS.

Uncle Willy and I are both in the same boat. Living just across the river (Columbia) from each other I will agree that the winter time rains we have been experiencing have been far above the norm even for a wet area like the Pacific Northwest.
I too hit a playground yesterday. Found a dime in the first ten seconds and from there my finds went downhill.
Anything having grass growing on it is a saturated bog....easy digging but it is the bailing of the hole that gets annoying.
Did find a Nano IPOD (2 gb) laying on the grass but it is either in need of a recharge or the overnite rain wiped out the electronics. Will have to let it dry and put a charge to it to see if I found treasure or junk.

Sunday afternoon. My back porch thermometer reads 79 dgrees.

Actually turned out to be a pretty nice day today. Just over 40, mostly sunny and the snow is melting and mushy with the ground underneath soggy but not frozen. I went out for a couple hours and found 31 coins for $2.35 and a refillable lighter with builtin flashlight that works. I'm on the way out for a while longer while I can.......see ya all.......

in winter here if the ground is wet it takes a long time to dry out. Hope you get out soon and find some broad struck coins-Sacky's and Susies.

 

[Uncle Willy]

Here's hoping your electronic gizmo works. That at least would be a treasure of sorts.After tomorrow we are supposed to have 4-5 days of dry weather, if one can believe these coin-flipping weather men. I blew it today. It was sunny and nice and supposed to stay that way for days so I stayed home to let things dry out and give the kids a chance to get in the playgrounds and lose some change - then tonight the weather guy says, " OOPS! ", it will rain tomorrow. Almost threw something through the TV.

I wish we could have a freak February like last year when it was 80 degrees every day but that's probably a once in a lifetime thing. Hope you can get out and score something.

Yeah and to think I used to live in California, Phoenix, Las Vegas, and I left all that for this.

Yeah I'm praying for sunshine. We've had about 30 days straight of rain. I'm growing webs between my toes.
