I am definitely getting my Pistol Probe today BUT it's 22
 
You guys have my sympathy! I keep reading the posts from the guys in the northeast and it's getting cold! Their detecting "season' is closing. I am in Arizona around Phoenix and the weather is just getting good here! Pretty mild all winter and great detecting weather. The downside to this is that everything out here is fairly new and all the old stuff has been built over, what there was of it. An 'old park' here probably only dates from the twenties. I see all those neat finds from the 1700-1800 period posted in the east and drool like a kid in a candy store. Finding an Indian out here is cause for celebration! So don't feel too bad, I will post the hand full of clad I got on Christmas day, but You can look forward to neat finds in the spring!
 
You know what it's like GR. You're not to far from me.
 
Yeah if you can find some old foundations in the woods that aint been pounded you can clean up... the leaves will keep the ground from freezing up solid till mid winter sometimes.. but with the wind out there, I think I stay in the warm house :) also deer season isnt over till almost christmas.. so woods are off limits most places here.. gotta hope for a warm up or it might just be over... I liked it better when we had that global warming I hear so much about.. guess they dont live in the northeast hey?
 
You could go into the woods as long as you wore the fluorescent vests but you're still taking a risk because someone will pull a "Cheney" on you and you'd take a bullet in the rearend.

There are some woods I know I could peruse and it would give me some shelter from the wind. It wouldn't be too bad. I know most people do not want to do the woods because it's not so convenient swinging in there from the ones I am thinking about in my area. I'll give it a try though. You never know. When I bought my Pistol Probe the guy who sold me the probe said,"Don't forget to do the woods"
 
I went out in my yard the other night to dig a plug just to see if the ground was frozen yet, and sure enough the first inch or so was. It's still diggable, but it'll be a pain.

I'm waiting right now to get a permission slip signed off by somebody for doing a site where an 1800's house was just torn down. Hopefully they'll sign off on it before the ground freezes solid.

You never know, the weather could turn around and get warmer for a while, but I'm not counting on it. Looks like it's not going to get much above 40 here in the next 10 days, except for monday maybe.

It's been in the teens at night here.The ground is frozen down a good 8 inches here.I chipped out 6 quarters,1 dime and 3 pennies(all clad) from it this afternoon.I may have to resort to shaped charges to soften things up:hot:.The wind was blowing here also.I"m about done for the year.Where's Al Gore's "Global Warming" ?Bill
 
Yeah, it's been in the teens here too. I think I am in denial :cry:

It figures this would work out this way. I just got my Pistol Probe and all I can do is play with it inside buffeted from the external elements. I starting to zone in with my SE to the silver with the new settings GR showed me. It was starting to become like clockwork to me.

We are getting a heat wave though. Almost 50 on Monday and then Tues-Fri - low to mid 40's :bouncy:

If someone else doesn't say it I will, "Lonnie, you're pathetic!"
 
It's been feeling the same way for me up here outside Boston but I've been thinking much of that is the sudden change from warmer weather and I just haven't adjusted completely yet to colder weather.

Suggestion (which hopefully is easier for you there in RI than it is for me here): Go to the beach! The sand stays pretty digable during the winter compared to soil. And, yes, the woods are easier to dig. Part of that, besides what you surmised, is that you can use a shovel in the woods as well and get your full weight into the cutting of the soil. Also, the way detritus falls in the woods, there are more are pockets which makes it less like digging into concrete. (I picked up my SE last Jan. or Feb. and I was desperate to get out so was trying every kind of location I could to find something diggable.)

Yeah, the beach could satisfy the cravings but there is no buffeting from the wind but I could live with that if I had to. I would think I would be the only fool out there on the beach but I bet the ranch someone else would be there too. Supposed to be near the 50's tomorrow. It should ne warmer up your way too. I am only like 45 minutes from you.
