Was out hunting with my buddy today. He just purchased a new AT Gold. All in all I hunted 3 hills. I tucked 2 of those hand warmers inside the camo cover, between the batteries and they did a super job keeping those alkaline AA batteries warm and functioning for nearly most of the day. I stopped at my third hill, removed the camo cover + hand warmers. After about 40 minutes, the low battery light came on and kept repeating itself for another 30 minutes, at which time I was cold and called it a day. The ambient temperature got up to near freezing today, with no wind and blues skies. I dug a Blackberry, which was frozen in the grass below the snow. I destroyed it getting it out of the ground, but the battery was salvaged.
Here are the coin totals for today. I have pulled out some nice jewelry off some of these hills, but no such luck today! It was a good physical workout today.....I didn't use the Garrett Sling but I probably should have.
