AM TIRED OF TV, TIRED OF DETECTING VIDEOS

[dirtlooter]

It actually warmed up enough yesterday to melt the ice and snow, well a lot of it. of course it came back before daylight this morning and refroze the melted stuff. the temps have crept back up enough to be about 35 again for a little while. the wife is a special needs teacher at the local high school and she has been off all week due to the weather and has moved all the furniture and other things too many times. I like watching the detecting videos and such but after a while, you just want to go do it. of course this is nothing new to a lot of you. when it does warm up, it will be a muddy mess. oh they are even calling for it to be fifty degrees by Tuesday, with more rain of course. on the positive side, we aren't digging out from all of the snow and even with our high heating bills, they aren't as high as others. in a few weeks, it will warm up for the most part around here, enough to get out and hunt even if you have to use hip waders for the wet mess. anyhow, can't imagine the cabin fever you all in the northeast are going thru but I hope it gets better for you.

It's 25°F outside and sunny. People are walking around without coats. We had 13 cold record days this month? And we beat them by 10 or 12 degrees; not just a little.

It's probably going to be May before the snow is gone and the ground is thawed to 10" deep.

I am sooo sick of cold. And snow.

I try to sway from the detecting videos here lately,they are to much of a tease.

You could try coin roll hunting ! It's much better than tv.

 

[dirtlooter]

and I watched another two hours worth of detecting but it was strictly for educational purposes.... that's my story and I'm sticking to it

It did make it to 35 today but not much melting went on, not enough for my liking anyhow.
The walls all have claw marks and I can't stand the sight of snow anymore!
I haven't been detecting since early December.
The only good thing...I haven't bit the mailman yet!

I guess the worst thing is the weight gain from doing nothing, I have created several new programs that I really want to try at one place and only have access to it one day a week. 35 degrees is a teaser, it melts the snow a little bit and then it freezes it at night. hopefully it will warm up enough for you to be able see the ground again.

Kingston is on record for the coldest Feb. since the late 1800's and only a 1/2 degree off from being the coldest on record. 4" of fresh snow and only -8 with a 20-45 click wind to just take any sense of warmness away. Wife said today that winter doesn't bother her anymore since she stopped disliking it.

I have been watching detecting videos for years...and the reality is, they get boring very quick..lol When I used to watch them, there were only maybe 30-40 ppl that made them...now everyone and thier mother makes them.

But as mentioned....first time I couldnt hunt because of snow....i started Coin roll hunting...and its just as addicting

my wife is originally from New Hampshire, now older, she has become a winter wimp. she loves to see the snow, once a winter is her preference now and for it to be gone the next day or so. she bundles up when I have a T-shirt on. personally I have become a fair weather person myself. it is great to see those who are willing and able to get out there and break thru the ice hard ground to dig, I just am no longer one of those. it is hard enough doing it in the extreme heat of summer in the hard packed baked clay and rock.

Now there's only so much research one can do before it becomes difficult looking at all the sites marked out on the map and not being able to see them for the snow and ice. Then again last year March 10th we still had anywhere from 1-4ft of snow still laying around, so we still can be in this for another month.

If you have a library card and some kind of tablet or e-reader, check your local library online to see if they have the Zinio magazine collection available. Mine does, and they have the current and past editions of over 200 magazines available to read for free online, everything from Newsweek to the National Enquirer.

Don't let the Cabin Fever get to ya. Think of something else to do, like, read a good book. Plan a trip (very detailed trip), and leave no item to chance! Even if there is no way to do it, PLAN the trip! Just keeping yourself busy, will get you past the maddening winter blahs, and set you up for a great spring outing with your favorite detector!!
