Awesome Detecting Day!!!

Any day you can detect in Canada at the end of December is an awesome detecting day. We're still socked in under a foot of snow and ice but I was itching to swing the coil.

This is the view outside my bathroom window when I woke up...not too promising.



I checked the tide times and saw that low tide was at 1pm so I packed my detector and off I went. This is the area I was searching...a beach off the oldest continued settlement in North America...so I knew I had a chance.



Found a few modern targets and then spotted this right on the surface...



See it?



Copper doesn't usually fare too well in the salt water so I was happy to get any detail at all.





Also got a few eyeball finds including my first intact pipe bowl...just plain with no design but I'm still happy with it!

Gotta love those tides over there. Funny how we're so close but there ain't no swinging going to happen here. Today is just a another snowblowing day!

You fell asleep in the bathroom?!
Just kidding.
Nice finds. I understand its a bit wicked there right now so double kudos for you getting out and braving the cold. Bet that spot is pretty successful when the weather is warm.

WOW, that's some great finds even for a non snowy day. I would be hitting the low tides every day I can during the winter, awesome!

You must be pretty hard core to detect in the snow.Love the little bottle and pipe bowl too.

Cool Hunt.
I'll probably have to wait the 90 days or so for my next swing.

I would be out on the shore right now if there wasn't a foot of ice there!

You are fortunate to have a place to go this time of year, I'm in the same boat as Rick, 90 days if things go well

Good going Romeo!

Great finds for this time of year. And don't feel bad guys I've been reduced to using my new pro pointer Xmas gift on random objects in my living room! We are getting hammered with snow and cold weather here in Maine. Another storm coming Sunday. Maybe we will have an early spring since winter came so early. One can only hope!
