You have to look on the bright side! Our plugs are being watered and with the saturation this rain is giving us, we may just get that little tweak we need with a deep target.

It is nice and cool and sunny in NC.... but it sure is muddy from the rain yesterday.

It's a shame that I have to work all day.

Hope the weekend clears up for you. GL&HH.

It's been a crazy spring for sure, hope it gives you a little break. Calling for scattered showers here, my last day off for awhile so I'm hopen for the best.

That's what rain suits are for, just take an umbrella if it bothers you. ;) (I really kinda hate digging in mud too, especially if I don't have to :) )

This thread reminds me of Cjon's "controversial" thread with the video of him finding the LC at the old site with his son. I remember you washing your coin in the hole you had just dug because of the ground being so saturated. Am I right?

I was always told after a rain is the best time to hunt arrowheads in a recently tilled field. Is this true?
Yes. where as yesterday there was an arrowhead close to the surface with a thin layer of dirt covering it , tomorrow it will be sitting nice and clean on top of the surface.

You are not alone, mother nature will hand that mess off to Murphy('s law) and send it all my way! It is starting to pour here now. It will rain thru the night and tomorrow. Sunday (my detecting day) we will have a chance of a thunder storm. Ok, I can bag me and the detector against rain, how the heck do I dodge the lightning?
If you say stand in a puddle of water and wave my detector in the air, already tried that....crispy with a chance of curly hair, and the M6 called me bad names!

I would give ANYTHING, for our radar to look like that. We have had .40" since November of 2013. I'm jealous, but I know where you are coming from.

Lol I had a temporary loss of sanity in that video, finding a lc like that in a spot like that with my kid was awesome

I got my 1st propointer wet in the rain and it acted up for a while, sounding off in the air, etc. I called garrett and got another one free, & they told me not to let water get near the switch

View attachment 995413 there will be no digging today:BangHead:, mother nature hates me lol

Been raining for 4 days in central Indiana. 80 last week and now record cold temps tomorrow. Don't mind detecting in the rain but after having the AC on last week and now putting the heat on today, feels like it might as well be winter again.

I've taped over the speaker hole so, except for a tiny leak at the L.E.D. mine is pretty much weather proofed. But, I still don't like playing in the mud. :dontknow:

Look at it this way, if you hear the thunder, you don't have a problem. AND, if you don't hear the thunder, you don't have a problem, anymore. ;)
