More Ohio Ice Digging - Gold

[Gob-ler]

It was not going to get above freezing today but I wanted to get back to the beaches in frozen Ohio. I went to a new location(beach) and walked the half mile through the crunchy snow.

On location the digging was very difficult. First I found the SteriStud ear ring back. It was just a hint of a signal and almost 4 inches deep. Hard to believe the Deus even saw it. It's tiny.

Then I opened a frozen hole and there was gold peeking at me. It's a Nike 10K ring. Not big, but its gold!

It sure made the climb back to where we parked the vehicle a little easier!

Nice find, congrats. That must be some tuff hunting, WTG.

Nice job!

How hard is it to get thru the ice?

There has been about 3 to 4 inches of frozen ground, mostly beach sand to dig or chip through. I bought a pick axe sort of gardening tool and that has helped. Ordinarily I would not be out digging in the stuff, but the water at the lake is only going to be down for a little bit longer.

Interestingly enough though, some of the ground is not frozen except for the snow layer on the very top. Hard going but worth the effort.
