Hey Prong i feel your pain brother. we are currently sittin at -19 with wind chill -50. hard to believe i was out hunting last Sunday.

 

[fishboymike]

Thats sad I spent most of my life in Michigan then moved to Florida for 6 years, now I live in Georgia, did I mention Im moving back to Florida because its too cold here! I am offically a sissy. Mike

Blue Norther here, wind is blowing and I don't know if I can stand it. I checked the temp. its down to 60, I'm glad the Sun came out......I am West of Ft Worth about 80 miles. We never know what the weather will be in two hours, don't LOL

Cute dog is it yours? If so keep him warm, I feel so sorry for you guys, up there where it is really cold, here this am it was 51 at 7:30, wind came in, 30-50 mph last I heard and less than 2 hrs later still blowing only in gusts not steady like earlier its 23 and snowing.

But I Feel So Warm Compared To What You Got!

Evy

 

[rmptr]

We don't even have thermometers that resemble that, here in CA.

Coldest I've ever seen was 7* for 3 days running.

That would be T-shirt WX for you!

Wow!

 

[FloridaBill]

Okay so after seeing that sorry I couldn't resist. Took this a few minutes ago....

 

[Mental Granny]

Oh! That was just plain mean , they say we may have winter tomorrow right--not , well you never know! They say 5in. and a white out! I still like this better than what you all have. Try to stay warm!

 

[jonnyrebel00]

Thanks to all you folks for the warm wished but don't worry, you get used to
the cold, right jonnyreb 30 degrees and calm today, never put a coat
on, feels like spring. yup fossis, not complainin here, some have it worse.

Hey jonny, you happen to know of a guy nicknamed Parf from your town?
He has be in my town for quite a few years now, used to work with him.
When you say you were out hunting last Sunday do you mean detecting or
huntin critters? Got any advice, recommendations for a newbe to detecting
lookin for his first detector?

No sir, cant say i have ever heard of him. I am not from here originally though, so that might be a good reason.
As for the weather you are pretty much right on about gettin used to it. As long as there is no wind im good to go.
When i was talkin about huntin, i was talking about being out metal detecting the other day, and you know as well as i do that its pretty odd to be able to do this time of year.
What kind of hunting are you lookin to get into? Depending on what you want to do may dictate on the machine you want to go after.
I dont really want to tell you and specific one because ultimately you will be the one using it and it is all your personal preference. What price range are you looking to get into?
Let me know and ill try and answer any questions you have the best i can. If i cant i know some one will be able to.
If you arent looking to get too expensive then an Ace 250 would be a decent, cost effective place to start.

 

[jonnyrebel00]

lol, well, i when i was out diggin the other day i had a cold chisel and hammer. once i got through the first few inches it was smooth sailing. on ebay you can pick up a 250 for under $225. and like i said in the previous post that's about the best for the money in my opinion. you said you were interested in prospecting too and i don't know how the 250 would do with that. I'm sure that there has to be a machine that is a happy medium between a good silver finder and a gold finder as well.
mostly i hunt for silver and relics. that's about it. not too much you can really look for up here, since like you said theres not a whole lot of history. but heck I'm just as happy with late 18s-early 19s silver and copper. where bout are ya in NoDak??

 

[pegleglooker]

Hello All,
Well this morning I got up put on my " T " shirt and jeans and went to see a movie with my 05 mustang, and yes the top was down....Ya just gotta love California
We have NOTHING called " wind chill factor ".... not like where I grew up in Ohio.
Sorry fella's I DON'T miss the weather back home....

PLL

 

[jonnyrebel00]

Hate to break it to ya there Mr. Pegleg, but Ohio weather and NoDak weather arent even in the same catagory. It is waaaaaay colder here.

 

[jonnyrebel00]

Id have to say that just about any machine would be able to find decent size nuggets. I dont know about the dust, though. But for sure nuggets in a pouch, if not too deep could be found. I have tons of places i am ready to hit up come spring. i cant wait!

 

[thomas_miles25]

We are in flood stage here in good old Findlay!!!!! Gotta love this stupid town lol

 

[jonnyrebel00]

PH, I do not know this person that is selling this, but the price dont look too bad at all.
