That’s why I love digging in the winter! Hunt al day long nice and soft. Down to 25 degrees I’m good!IDXMonster said:Moist soil is the magic ingredient for me to get maximum depth with my detectors.
Absolutely agreed! While I have run into an instance where the soil was super dry and I STILL managed some deep coins,MOIST soil,or the optimum content for that specific soil,can really make detecting those deeps ones easier. I’ve found that when things are SOPPING WET things get pretty strange with wacky IDs and iron really comes alive. If it’s moist like the perfect brownie...it’s all good!

Shew... man you guys must dress like eskimos going to hunt! I'll hunt into the mid 20's below that nope.. main thing is the the howling wind.. which is terrible! Although I'll take cold days over sweltering heat in the south.IDXMonster said:. If it’s moist like the perfect brownie...it’s all good! IDX great analogy , never thought of it like that but your right soil moist and dark like a good brownie. It seems best for id'n, digging, retrieval, and plug mending. Are you able to dig up there yet ? Hope your able to get out. HH Mark
Yes yes,there’s a woods in Milwaukee I drove 2 hours one way last weekend and today to go hunting with a couple other guys. We did good,8 silvers between the 2 guys who found silver...4 apiece. It wasn’t so much about any coins as it was going and hunting with these guys who are DIE HARD hunters. Chipping ice out to get to the coins is a lot of work! But we had a lot of fun doing it. I hope things settle down for all of us,north AND south...this winter has been brutal so far with the temps. Funny thing is,we’ve hardly really had any snow here. It’s barren.
Only 2 months to spring,and that groundhog of yours had better not be giving us more winter!
