At least I got the clue right.🥸LOL

Yes , could be nasty . 

But ice is out (here) , fishing season just opened and I have a lifetime license !  😎

Edit by clicking on the 3 dots upper right of your post.

 Me likey Hip Clip ! 🤩 

My Nomad is a lot lighter ga. metal than the big root slayer but for me the key word was lighter.

(That's why I gave it to my detecting buddy ! I can still use it when needed LOL)🏴‍☠️ arrrrrr

Winter detecting , ooooooh yeaaaaah !  👍

Two layers of wool and fleece lined pants with a rain coat wind breaker was the key .  Just happened to have it all laying around.. (Might get slammed on the 3rd+4th so not time for the cargo shorts just yet. Summah is still a long way off uptah camp.)

Did it again yesterday 2 clad dimes and 3 zincs.   The dimes were "thanks for hunting" on my way back to the rig walking through a parking area with 3 stinkin' zincs and junk in the pouch.      

There's a pretty hefty pile of fair junk for only 4 hours too.       I think I'll save any curiosity items from the pre season hunts for a pic in case someone recognizes any of it.  (Great bennie of hanging out here on D/P ! So many experienced eyes...) 

Time for round 3 , the bee bop beep box just finished charging. 

5kts and a slight haze  44* . Where's my shades ? My future is bright.

Hey Joe ! Where did ya go , with that detector in your hand ?😎

Hope your back is improving !  

Welcome aboard Kel ! 

You're going to like it here.🖖

I think I can see a face on that last piece of lead ?

Back in the groove today with a couple of hours of snow free digging. 👍

In 40* and 40kt gusts.

Needed to layer up and only lasted 2 hours (probably would have only made it to 3 hours if it was warm and calm.anyway.🙄)

5 clad dimes , 3 zincolns , 1 key and a ring . Relax , it was bling , adjustable and almost nothing but rust. But it IS a RING !   

ObiNox Canobi 

Yup , just one is all it takes it seems.  Looking back through my log , I  averaged one silver in every 50 hours of detecting. or about .8 gram a week .  Zero gold so far... So you frequently top my total in one hunt.

I'm closer with my junk pile but still not close.

LOL Now I wish I hadn't done that..... 🥸   

Maybe I should move to a beach ?  ,,,,yours  🏴‍☠️  arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !  I really am a pirate if you flip me upside down !

I really don't mind , anyone making me look bad gives me goals . It's a good thing ,,,,I think. 🤔 

🖖 maintain yer course matey.

  🤬 yep it's all yours now.

  The larger brass that's identifiable goes in a box.

If I ever get up there I could bring the box... 🤔

Cool , just scatter it around , no point in making it too easy to find.😎 

I've been using those fishing tackle segmented trays  (~9x12x1.5?) for my finds . 

But will be dumping almost all of it along with anything else not screwed down to reduce weight in the rig though.  Need any more guitars ?LOL🙄    

That right there is a pirate anchor chain ! 🏴‍☠️ Yup yup.

I vote for the Radius Nomad too !  

You can order it at Amz ,  HD orange or L blue $41. ,( about $5 cheaper at  blue than orange). 

L blue  has the big root slayer in stock in their house brand lineup. ~$40

I had the big root slayer first but it was too big and heavy for me .  It sure can cut a deep plug though. Gave it to my detecting buddy....

Don't call me Goldilocks but the little root slayer Nomad was just right !  Sometimes just using the tip for shallow targets works better than my hori knife  !

I drag it behind me unless I'm in the rocks. I sometimes clip it to my belt with a big carabiner and a bit of para cord to leave a hand free.

OH , one more thing . Keep the protective plastic and get a heavy rubber band to hold it in place. It makes a huge difference in what those teeth chew on in the vehicle 😏 

sohN  

As always you're making my typical look unbelievably bad.🥸 LOL 

 And speakin' of bad.

That lead thing looks like bad ju ju to me , I'd return it to where I found it😯 , and  in an extra deep hole.

(Maybe try it as a lucky fishing weight first just to make sure ?) 🤩

And YES the white coating on the circuit board makes a huge difference in board corrosion in marine/harsh environments. 

Welcome to the forum Terry.   That pic is hard core !                                                                                        If you search for other sohN 's posts I think you'll  see ALL of what that Pi finds for him on those beaches !

  We're getting used to it here but you might need a warning before viewing....

 Nice pic of all the buttons 350 . The lone shank probably surrendered to be with his friends ?

The junk pic had several items I would have put in the good finds pic ! You're welcome to toss them out here for me to find . 😏 

7 miles....hmmmm I was just thinking about driving the car over to the infield so I don't have to walk the 1/4 mile RT.  🙄 The vehicle gate near me is locked again and the pedestrian entrance is on the other end ... 

40* and the same 40 for the wind gusts.

Awwwww BUSTED ! 😯

Would it be better if I switched to green beans ?

I never said anything about this but that spinach in a can tastes like crap ........😝

It was never shown on camera but there was a half stick of melted butter in every one of those spinach cans.👍

 But yes, having a lot of places to go does lead to getting still more. If I pass a farm of interest and it feels like the time is right and the farmer is out there, I'll stop and ask. Most are curious as to what I might find, and thankfully appreciate the desire for some reward for me should I do all the work to dig it up. Establishing a friendship of sorts goes far, they will try to think of other places to look, or even ask someone else for me.

There are 2 rules for getting permissions:

1. Start out with a question about the history of the place and a compliment about how nice it is, then Listen to the farmer after asking to hunt it, no matter how long they talk. It's the most important thing, if you act hasty or impatient, you're not doing to get it. If they say no, be prepared to calm their fears of leaving holes and damage. Make them say no more than once.

2: See rule 1.

I guess you could just say it's complicated 🙄 but I do hope to inform as well as brag 😎 information is a bit more important here.

The evidence is in....Your permission system sure does work !  You have become one of the locals.

Everything found has a story to tell , even the pulltabs ........   

You've collected so many permissions it boggles the mind.🤯

You can actually cherry pick the locations instead of just the targets..👍  

 I decided to leave the hemos  in my pouch for things stuck in rock crevices. 

Getting pics with the chromebook selfie cam is a supreme challenge .  More so without sunlight.  I figured at least it looked like what it was this time.🙄

The 4" of frozen crust left from Saturday is getting a steady rain at 45* so all ground should be bare again when it stops. I probably could have dug through it but zero chance of disappearing diggings if I did . Shoveling the white crust trashed my elbows anyway so I needed the break . 

Welcome aboard Robert !

Nice first post ! 

 I'm sure I'm speaking for everybody on the crew.

🥸 Can we see a pic of wifey's ring find in a new thread ?

 🖖

Welcome aboard from uptah camp 8mileshigh ! Byrds fan?

Pull yer chair up closer to the fire.
