Edmonton Garrett Gal Snows John-Edmonton :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[John-Edmonton]

One of the Edmonton Garrett Gals from work took the challenge to hunt a snow hill after work in -20 temperatures with a SE wind. She wrapped up the ACE 250 up for warmth, and it worked like a charm. She found her first Toonie (2 dollar coin), then found a second one. John-Edmonton got skunked with the toonie finds tonite.

I tried my darnest to come up with one of those toonies....no such luck. However, I did find a very rare snow-butterfly in the snow. My first.

Below are my finds from tonite also using the ACE 250.....

Nice finds. I am still amazed on how well the 250 performs in any conditions that you have put it though. At -20 temputures and the 250 still even works!!

Whats Temp does the Liquid in the screen starts freezing up? just wondering

[John-Edmonton]

I know from several years ago, using the GTA 500 Ultra that the screen would slow down and lose it's intensity at around -10 to -15 C/14 to 5 F. But I always use a hot pac on the Ace when it gets close to freezing, so the liquid in the screen never gets to the ambient temperature. It hasn't shown any signs of slowing down yet.

 

[John-Edmonton]

Thanks John......

 

[John-Edmonton]

I am getting worried.....

 

[John-Edmonton]

I can't wait.....cabin fever is killing me.

 

[John-Edmonton]

Ah heck........if you lived here, you would have been out on that hill too.

 

[John-Edmonton]

Garrett has always made good quality equipment. That's one of the reasons I stick with them.

 

[nebraskagoldhunter]

Nicesss... I hate the cold, so i'll have to wait a few more weeks

 

[Orion42]

I'm just waiting for it to get a little above freezing, then I'm getting out!

John

 

[John-Edmonton]

I hate the severe cold too!

 

[John-Edmonton]

I just can't wait that long.

Hmmm, I just got the itch again. Maybe I'll try your hot pack set up as it will be around -9 tommorow.
