    I can relate! I got out a lot with demodigger last couple years and he knew the drill... "can't get out until after the kids are in bed!"

    But, recently there have been times I could get out at night but I've just been too tired and not motivated!

    And that was in near-total darkness, out in the boonies, in the middle of nowhere... I was glad for the company. I've done a lot of night hunting, but night relic hunting on out of the way rural sites is a bit extreme- that hunt in particular. But hey, it's cooler at night during our steamy summers, and I didn't hear Steve complaining when he plucked an 1848 large cent from right next to where I'd dug a beer can the night before!

    Funny how many of my large cents and early coppers were found during night hunts.

    A good headlamp is all you need, but a buddy is also nice to have along, particularly if you're in a more urban setting. While Steve's company out there in spooky, rural Boonieville was welcome indeed, I probably was in less danger from the wildcats (yes, I saw panther tracks out there!) than I would have been from the two-legged boogiemen in the urban spots I night-hunt in town.

    As the original post here attests, night is a great time to go beach hunting, particularly when there's a nice fat moon. The visibility is good, the diggin's easy, and you usually have the place to yourself, which isn't the case with most beaches by day.
