......Temps in my area up in the 40’s today.
Decided to check out a small area of
woods that are bordered on two sides
by expensive home developments and
two sides by roads.
Got into these woods this time of year
because normally it is difficult with all
of the underbrush.
First interesting thing was what was left
of this post or pole. Checked out the
immediate area but nothing. Made note of
it, and I’m sure I will be checking it out again.
(note the small pipe next to it, usually used to
mark areas. Perhaps the big one was an original
marker.)
Digging was the same as a few days ago,
except the snow has melted a bit. Able to
pop off the snow in a slab; under the leaves
not frozen.
Pipeline running through the center of the
woods, helped getting around a bit.
Came across these tanks. Again checked
the area out a bit, made note of them.
(Fence all around it, that is down)
Came across what could have been a swing
set, but not sure. Only about 6 ft high.
Did check out the area around it, zip…….
Have not had many good finds of late.
Still enjoying it. The ping on the Garrett
and it also telling me that it is a coin size
object, always right on. 1500 is dead on
with coins, but perhaps only 6-8 inches,
after that it gets iffy.
Clad 36 cents, few odds and ends; not much
but did get some good scouting in today. Have
been hitting this general area over and over at
different location, putting all the info together
and perhaps will put me on something one
of these days.
At home, marking locations on my maps.
Had a good day.
all have a good un............
