Anti Freeze to thaw the ground.

[rglyons]

At first it sounded like a good idea! Use anti freeze to thaw the ground and making digging easier. Don't do it! Dogs and cats will lick antifreeze or drink it if in a container. IT'S DEADLY TO THEM! It must taste sweet or at least very good to them, about like DeerCain is to deer. Also, it is illegal to throw antifreeze or gasoline on the ground according to the EPA. Be safe and not sorry on this one.

I'll try most things once and some twice - and some not at all.

I bet that there are ways though if a guy was desperate enough. I'm thinking a scenario were lake water levels go down, an exposed beach, you find good signals in the frozen sand. Back east people watered the ground then electrocuted worms out to the surface. A chunk of rod a foot or two apart. A standard extension cord, one wire wrapped around each rod, plug it in, zip, out they come. The same idea may apply with a portable generator. I don't know if it would warm up the sand and loosen it, this is just an abstract concept/day dream.You'd have to be mighty obsessed or convinced about a find to try this stuff anyway. B.T.W. I DO NOT recommend that anyone try this or they might find your black smoking carcass electrocuted on the beach, or wherever.

Eat your heart out guys!

I can dig here in Roswell, NM easily enough, but my old bones are the only thing keeping me out of the parks. I could wear a snow suit (I have one left over from my days in Denver,), but I'l chicken!

Yeah that stuff is deadly. People have been murdered with that stuff when it was slipped into their drinks. Animals know no difference. I've known folks who lost pets that got into antifreeze.

We used to use the old crank type telephone from way back to drive worms out of the ground. Hook it to a couple of rods, stick them in the ground, and crank that puppy a time or two, and worms appear everywhere.

Doesn't all that alien space craft litter get irritating when coin hunting?

You're in Roswell NM?
Have you tried MDing around where the alledged Flying Saucer crashed?-)
No really, with a moderen day detector you might find something ....of course
just about everyone else who ever had a detector in NM probably already done that.....Still.....
