I hear ya!! Ground completely frozen and snow covered here, with more on the way for this weekend. I am fortunate though,, to live one hour away from the saltwater beaches. If it weren't for that I'd surely go bonkers.

I feel your pain brothers. No snow cover and a solid week of night time temp in the double digits below zero have frozen the ground even deeper than usual for this early in the winter. So desperate to do some detecting I toy with the idea of going in the basement under the house where the ground isn't frozen. :dontknow:

Agreed, more like BoredusDiggus lately..We had an ice storm and a few fresh inches of wet heavy snow here in CT over the past few days...So looks like the treasures are sealed up for a bit..I guess its time for more research and google earthing...Wondering how people down south are doing now, if their season gets cut short like up here.. specifically NC, thinking of moving that way Raleigh/Asheville...Anyway, goodluck keep those idle hands busy..HH

yep 18 degrees here today and I have cabin fever. The ground is frozen enough that it's to hard to dig unless we get a week or so of temps above 40. I keep wanting to pull the trigger on a new detector but if i can't hunt I hate to see it just sit there.

I work so much that I can only get out once or twice a week. That being said due to weather I haven't hunted in about a month. Now that its 5 degrees I regret not going out every time I had a free moment!

It's finally warming up here and today's high is -23 C (or -9 F) so I better get out and enjoy the beautiful weather!
I think I'll start by burying my head in a snowbank.

I take comfort in the fact I am not alone, lol. My batteries are still in too, so yesterday I took the dogs up to a reclaimed strip mine for their afternoon walk. On the way back, I didn't give a second thought to pulling in to a graveled parking lot for a youth baseball field that had a thin covering of snow. It was 23 degrees F, probably high teens with wind chill. I got the ATP out and swung till I got my fix( a 1982 Lincoln ). The ground was frozen, so I had to settle for top of the ground targets. I got back in the vehicle and came home, content for a couple more days, lol.

I am going to have to rip up the floorboards this weekend in search of a dropped coin or earring. Then yank out all the baseboard heaters, there might be stuff in there too. Couch cushions, under the stove and fridge, the possibilities are endless...
