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.

Did your toes unthaw yet ? LOL
 
I took a 30 minute hot shower when I got home. All the transversing back and forth up/down the hill kept my feet warm. But overall, I was COLD. Then I took my two sons out for some hot chicken wings....LIFE IS GOOD :)
 
Here it's cold and it's only 36 degrees this morning.

I can't emagin hunting when the dew point gets any where near "0".

Congrats on the ear ring.

That's the way I am with tot lots. I usually get some kind of jewelry every time I go.

Your coin count adding up is a real +.

Enjoy your post,
 
This is what the reality of my hunt today looks like.

Temperature 50+ degrees. Sunny breezy. Finally took my coat off. Not bad.

I hunted three hours and only found a silver chain that looks like it lost a fight with Snapper Mower.

Two days ago I searched the same spot for an hour or so and got a silver ear ring and a $300 diamond ring.

I'm like you, but with tot lots. Tot lots will usually always produce some kind of jewelry.

Heres todays finds.

Don't know what the heck this is. It seems to be iron.

HH,
 
Your a hardy man John I get cold just looking we had a little snow a week or so ago and I went up to pick the change up today but it was plus 5 or 43. Found 7.66 in clad Dan
 
Judging from the pulltabs....you are trying to get some more gold. I dig it all too. It costs nothing, and I love surprises.

That iron thingy looks like a piece of meteorite. I have several pieces at home. Mine will not stick to a magnet. And I hope it is. :)
 
You're right:)

I started finding gold about four or five months ago. Now I'm hooked:blink:

Unless I'm looking for artifacts, I'm hoping for gold. Heck, who am I kidding. I'm always hoping to find gold.

The iron looking thing is attracted to a magnet. It's probably just steel. But I'm keeping it just in case.

keep your toes warm and take care,
