I was Fiend'in for some oldies so I went detectin out in the rain...

Well I got the bug today so I figured to hell with it, I went out to scout a new set of woods for any goodies. Well the rain finally slowed to a drizzle so I jumped out of my car and darted to the spot that I wanted to check and first coin was a wheatie then 5 min later my Rosie then 2 more wheaties. I was only out for 30 min tops and got 4 keepers but in that 30min I was drenched so I will definitely be going back as soon as the weather cuts us some slack. I was flying around like a madman so I know I missed some deeper oldies. :laughing7: Oh I also found 2 clad quarters, 2 clad Rosies and 4 zinclons.

Going out I had my rain cover on my detector, a ziploc bag taped over that, another bag taped around the pinpointer housing, and 2 bags taped around my earcuffs. If anybody saw me going in or coming out they probably though I was a literial "Bag Man", oh and as you can imagine I was covered in mud too!!! ;D Hope everybody gets a chance to get out and find some coins. :headbang:

Sounds like a good spot to produce that fast. Nice Rosie too! Sure beats coming home muddy with nothing. :thumbsup:

Nice finds bro! Especially for only thirty minutes. Took me a few hours before I found my Rosey last weekend.

Next time, when it's raining, put on your cute little Piglet suit that you're wearing in your photo. Then, when it gets REALLY muddy, you won't look so out-of-place! lol!

Good luck this weekend!

L4S and I were out the day before your hunt in the rain so I can relate. The week before that was even worse and I told myself I wouldn't do that again, but sometimes the urge to detect overcomes all logic! Glad you were able to get out and great hunt!
