Sweet Home visit today

[msanders]

My job took me back to OR from NE.this week. While here, I stopped at White's home in Sweet Home. I had a chance to visit with Mary H. who was very nice and helpful. I was able to talk to Steve Howard, he took me outside and showed me some basics for my V3. This is my third detector from White and I am looking forward to learning more about it. Only problem, living in NE we have had our first snow and it will soon be to cold to dig, looks like I have no choice but to go South this winter for a little detecting. Looking forward to learning more about my V3 from all the experts out here. Thanks in advance!

..., living in NE we have had our first snow and it will soon be to cold to dig, looks like I have no choice but to go South this winter for a little detecting.

Don't let the snow slow you down! I have seen some great finds come from snow covered ground, as long as it is not too deep. My season usually gets going this time of year, until the ground becomes frozen. I made some terrific finds last December and January.

I will take the cold over the heat , the ticks, the mosquitoes, the poison ivy and the thick underbrush!!!

Be careful of the poison ivy if you're very sensitive -- the stems are even worse than the leaves, and they can still nail you in the winter. I once cleaned out a brushy area in the wintertime, figuring I was safe in my long sleeves and gloves, but I still got poison ivy so bad it nearly put me in the hospital.
