well with a morning temp of about 12 degrees ( brrr was it cold) i went out early with Coinnut for a good 7 hour hunt because we knew the storm was a comming and it would probably be our last for some time :bangahead01: . all i can say is dressing your machine warm is key and mine performed extremely well. i just recently recieved a new detector cover that i would recommend if your machine is subjected to possible scrapes or dust , dirt or cold temps.i put it to the test these last couple of hunts and was very satisfied thumbsup01. well anyway Goerge and i chose a site that has been good to us in the past and we worked them pretty hard before.hitting a site at different times of the year and ground conditions is something we do to squeak out those deeper and smaller targets out of an area. we cleaned these sites pretty well and unfortunetly no coppers just some buttons (mostly colonial) some huge dandies that were deep , the big one was on a pathway and was almost 12 inches deep ( i took a measurement by putting the whole head of my relic shovel in the crater i dug and it was even with the ground) a few dropped musket balls , part of a shoe buckle and a nice little navy cuff button an oxknob , thats about it a good day and it was great to get out and swing the coil. George was convinced he located a cache but it was frozen under some rocks lol so he boobie trapped it until the next thaw lol (i'm sure its just junk but ya got to let him have something to cling onto until next year ) well let the cabin fever begin because there is a $%#!-load of snow out there now , everyone stay warm and try to keep yourselves busy . thanks for looking
