Winter thaw is about here :thumbup:

[Ray-Mo.]

Well after 2 weeks of near record low temps in the minus 5-10 range it got up to almost 50 today and the snow is melting fast.I took a probe out yesterday to a grassy field and was able to push it through the snow and into the soil in many places with a few frozen crusty spots as well.If all goes well I may be able to do a little hunting in a couple more days before the next arctic blast hits,Ray.

My neighbor told me I could detect her yard, so I tried it this afternoon. Got a few good coin hits but the ground was hard as a rock still frozen, needed a pick axe. I didn't even dig a target just turned the machine off and walked back across the street and back in the house.

We had several inches of snow insulating the ground when the extreme low temps hit here,Ray.

Ray I am south of you quite a bit, Down in Stoddard County. We only had about an inch or two of snow here and its basically gone except the shaded areas. I was surprised when I tried to dig a couple different targets and the ground was hard as rock

I can't wait either. Just pushed my digger into my front yard a few minutes ago and it went in easily!! Looks like I will be trying out the new E-trac next week when I am off.

You may have to go north to find some non-frozen soil,Ray

Suppose to get up to 44 today surely it will be thawed out today, It was around that yesterday thats why I was surprised. We did have several nights in the single digits though. I am getting cabin fever ready for some warm sunny days.

Yes I was spoiled last winter as the ground never froze up around here except for a crust in the shady areas without any grass,Ray.

I work in excavating in southern NY and we have about a foot to foot and a half of frost. We had single digit temps early on with nearly no insulating snow. Got to forty today but will see how long that lasts. I hate winter

If you are using the SE I sold you I can explain your silver problems......





I opened the unit and set the silver and indian chip to low and cranked up the nickel chip so you could get the feeper just before I delivered it.After all you are less than 100 miles away and might find one of my hot spots poke:
