I snuck out of work, in the rain, and sleet. Man I'm crazy.
I cleared very thick bramble and thorns out with a machete and shovel. It took about two hours. What was left was new ground and about a half hour of detecting. The results were very nice.

A blowhole was a gray surprise. This site has suddenly gotten much earlier than originally thought.
What a dandy! I love it and even my wife and her girlfriends over for drinks were impressed.

So remember to always move obstructions even if it's a P.I.T.A. Sometimes you score big, sometimes not at all. I've found many killer finds under trees and briar patches.
Enjoy and good hunts
