SUNDAY HUNT

 I tried the woods on Sunday in an area where I found some older coins before - but today - nothing.  Need to find some new areas - it's getting slim here and I'm waiting for better ground conditions to try some of my research areas.  At least now I'm out - beats a day at work.

SATURDAY HUNT

Well it finally got warm enough to get out and do some metal detecting.  I met my friend T in his neck of the woods.  He just got a new detector - the AT-Pro and can't wait to do some water hunting.  We hit some of his spots where he has had some good finds but yesterday it was just the clad.  The ground was a lot softer than I thought it would be - so much the better - just a little muddy.  I managed to find just under a buck and an old style bell for a sleigh.  I will try and get pictures - new computer so I'm not sure how to do that yet.   Plan on giving it another shot today since the temps will be in the 50's.

WEEKEND HUNT

It's finally going to warm up this weekend - so hopefully I can get out and do some detecting.  Not sure how hard the ground is but I probably will hunt the woods so the ground shouldn't be too bad.  Maybe a little snow tonight then the warm up - hope that trend continues.

GAVE IT A TRY

The weather wasn't the best but it was good enough to get out and try an area in the woods where I've had past luck.  No such luck though only finding a memorial penny but it felt good to swing the detector again.  The snow was covering most of the ground but it wasn't deep.  Will have to see what the up coming is going to be like - and hopefully I can give it another shot.

MAYBE THIS WEEKEND

It's still going to be cold by Friday but the weekend looks like it's going to warm up some.  Been getting cabin fever waiting for the weather to break - hopefully I get a chance Saturday.  Keeping my fingers crossed.

AND THE SNOW KEEPS ON COMING

Just got hit with another snow storm, maybe another 4 to 6 inches on the ground.  Starting to get cabin fever and you can only do so much research - there are a lot of places I'd like to hunt but it looks like it's going to be a while.

WINTER IS BACK

We had a couple of nice days last week including setting a record high for the day, but with the work schedule I wasn't able to take advantage of it.  Now the snow and cold have come back and it looks as though it going to stay a while.  Can't complain - this is Central NY and it is February - just hope the month goes by fast.
