Besides MD, you can find me on the ice fishin every chance I get.
 

If the ground freezes and you cannot dig you have two choices. 1. Find a place that is not froze, indoor arena, dirt basement. 2. Do things that don't, require digging. Mount those coins you put off, clean all those finds, go to the library or on the internet and research, roll those clads (after cleaning) for the bank, wash and wax that detector, sharpen diggers, and read (Magazines, books, internet) as much as you can. Before you know it it will be spring.

For cold weather take along extra batteries, they seem wear down faster. My wife and I were out Thursday morning, it was 34 degrees, we went thru 8 batteries, the rechargable kind.
 

Being from Minnesota, if you can't hunt in the cold, you might as well not hunt at all. LOL.
I remember using a hatchet and hammer to cut a plug in frozen ground. I actually cut a Barber half into 2 pieces.
( I didn't pinpoint very well).
A friend rented a heavy duty cordless drill, and put a 3" holesaw bit on it. After about three holes the drill started smoking. Another friend used a snowblower to cut a path through the snow in order to get to the turf. (The ground was not frozen, just covered with about 8" of snow.

Snowblower just to detect!?! That is either hardcore or addiction..........Either way... I LIKE IT! :icon_thumright:
