in Metal Detecting
Got about ten inches of snow (a lot more where it drifts) and it is 1 (one) degree outside....I would say there will be no MD'ing for a while.... Cheers, RickO

    Not as severe here, but bad enough. About 6 inches of snow and wind chills around 5. Time to do the indoor research, LOL!

    You better keep all those marbles and gold warm up there Ricko.

    It dipped down to 28 here in Southeast Ga this morning, coldest it's been since last Jan/Feb. The tops of the mud puddles finally had ice on them. I love the cold weather in Ga. Y'all can have all that snow and stuff.

    I am very sensitive to cold weather in my old age.....81F today here in south Maui.
    I do not miss shoveling snow, dealing with ice and stoaking up the coal furnace like I did in my early youth.
    Happy New Year all.

    Living in the Northeast, during the winter I take the time to look for and routinely find coins and sometimes jewelry on the ground in parking lots. Visual Detecting is actually something to do all year, usually pennies but sometimes find clad as well. My son recently found a gold bracelet worth $ 600 melt value.

    In the spring the snow piles made by the plows melt, creating a great location for metal detecting.

    Walk the High School parking lot if there is one close to you. This generation doesn't like to pick up coins and you'll find bill that have blown up against the fence. I'd like to walk the parking lots of an NFL team or Baseball team too.
