I was off today, so I planned another snow hunt. I hit 3 snow hills that have seen a lot of traffic from snow boarders and tobogganers. I checked the weather, and posted it in the pic. It was a cold kind of day. I wore my long-johns, winter gloves and funny looking Russian spy hat. my weapon of choice was my CAMO ACE 250. When I got to my first hill, there was a nice layer of frost on all the trees, and I eventually got one on my mustache and beard too.
Brrrrrrrrrrrr!
Here's looking out my left front window driving to my first hill. There was a lot of crystallization from the high humidity. I put on a hot pack on the batteries before I left the house this morning, as I doubt that the batteries would have kept the CAMO ACE running for more then an hour in this type of weather.
Here's the reality finds! You got to dig the junk if you want to dig the good targets. Anyone who just bought a metal detector and has not gotten too many good targets yet, don't worry. We "ALL" dig plenty of junk. Some of the best hunters are the ones who dig nearly all of the targets. Most people don't post the junk, so you never really see much of it. It kind of gives you the impression that all the experienced guys dig nothing but good targets. That simply is just not so.
I always seem to get at least one piece of jewelry on a hunt. Today was no exception.....I found a neat copper (?) earring.

Funny, but I was doing some thinking today about life in general, and I thought of you and your family and my family. Then it occurred to me that there are some parallels with both of us. We both tend to hunt by ourselves a lot and both have a gifted child, love the outdoors and both also have a spiritual side to us to. I thought it was very interesting.
