It aint over till the ground freezes

And then im not so sure. Took advantage of the nice weather yesterday and scouted an old privatly owned school thats all but fell down, the field behind it is still public with tall grass and dry dirt, so I got to swingin. Pretty quick found a 1903 Barber quarter then I gets this sweet sound of silver and starts to dig, my hole collapses into another hole dang ground hog, there goes my sweety. Determined I keeps on diggin reachin into the varmint hole and out pops a 44 merc, minute later scored an old Christmas pin with pin attatched. Also found few wheaties and couple bucks clad. Gettin mighty nasty today but only frozen ground may curb this habit.

Diggingfix I can't Imagine frozen ground, how hard is it ?

Hard as bitumen or concrete ?

 

[diggingfix]

whats bitumen?

 

[SNOWY]

Bitumen is also called ashfelt,
it's that black tar stuff used for footpaths, car parks, side walks etc.

Any way Diggingfix, I get it... HARD STUFF !

Glad our dirt down here doesn't freeze for sure.

Hmmm, "Cold as a mother in-laws kiss eh !!!"

If we get about 2 to 3 inches of snow on top of the ground before it freezes, the frost stays away a while longer. And we might get it on Wednesday.
