working on that
Under armor and thermals, then just regular outer clothes, then i just throw on my old military field jacket and go to work. For my head I use this thin layer that leaves only your eyes and nose visible. I find that it traps the body heat from my block head and keeps my noodle warm. I work outside constantly, and find this really works well for me. That and a thermos full of spiked coffee. :thumbsup:

I only go detecting in the cold, if the grounds not frozen solid. Don't see the point of trying to extract valuable coins or relics from frozen dirt :-\ you will only damage them.
But if you plan on going out then I would recommend the Sealskinze line of thermal clothing, they do Beanie hats, gloves and long socks that are brilliant in the cold :icon_thumleft:
