Thanks for the hope-inspiring video! I'm stuck here in Eastern Mass under 107 inches of snow, and its hard to believe that it will ever all melt. I guess we have to keep the faith.

Loved the video Buddy. :thumbsup: Great finds you've made with that AT Pro. Did you get the Minelab to keep up with Old Dude? :laughing7:
I've always wanted one of those Minelabs. Great machines. Killer on coins!
Good luck to you and keep those videos coming.

Ok, about the incredible amount of snow up north this year. Well, I was raised to always look for the positive
in any situation.

Ok. So it's evidently the largest amount of snow in recorded history!I

Now, just how can I see something positive in this?

Let's just think about it.






Ummmmm, well, er...no.


Hmmmmmmmmmm......


Um.....


Well maybe! .........

No.....


Wait a minute, it'll come to me.


Ummmm.....


Let me think.....


Ummmm...


Ok.... so here's something! That ground up there hasn't seen this much snow in a millennium and you know how heavy snow can be! You guys
almost have a mini glacier up there! So.....now follow me here.... that incredible weight has been pressing down on that soil all winter now. So, it's
been compressing the soil. Therefore, when it finally melts away, you'll be standing closer to the targets that used to be to deep to detect!
Making those goodies closer to the surface! When you guys finally get back out there I'm predicting a BANNER season this year!

So once it melts, around Sept, you can expect some delightful finding!

No need to thank me! Just remember where you heard it first and see!

:)
I think you are right on about the compacting affect of all this snow,over 140 in.so far in my town.There are many grass fields that i will be hitting when it's melted.

Yeah, I sure hope they get that forecast right! Last year I dug my first LC of 2014 on March 19th. I am sure hoping to be detecting by then this year.

Lol, I know it is helpful. That is exactly what Dave ( WVR ) and I did with his Whites and my ATP. I ( as I am sure you too ) will be interested to see the depth comparison.
