Today I found my hatred for upstate ny winters. I had lost that disgust over the last few years, but somehow it keeps reappearing like a field full of pulltabs. 37 inches here in cherry valley, just when the ground had finally been uncovered, i had even done some recon. In the woods! Damn you mother nature, and damn all you snowmobilers begging for that "old time" winter. Well at least im going to fla. Next week, going to kellyco, getting my nokta fixed, and damnit, when i get back, i demand uncovered ground at a minimum!!! Research and tnet only go so far to abate the insanity of this obsession....

Wow, somebody else knows about Cherry Valley. My mom used to teach school there years ago, and my uncle had a cheese factory there. Yup, mother nature is a cruel individual.

I hear you but I think there's some good that will come from all that white stuff we sent your way from the Midwest! When you get back from Florida, all the snow will have melted and will help amplify the halo around all those deep silver coins you are about to place your coil over. The wetter the soil, the deeper the detector detects!

I'm with you. I'm tired of swinging a snow shovel instead of my AT. The only consolation is that I think the freeze tends to push coins (and arrowheads) up towards the surface. It won't be long and folks here will be complaining about the heat.

I'm here in Central NY and I still managed to go out to detect in at least once each month this year. Plus I'm on track for reaching my goal of at least one silver coin per month. What were you doing when it was 70 degrees in February?

I was out everyday I was able, in the woods, ground is way to frozen around here for anything else. Didnt get jack hunting, but it was fun. Glad u could get out and go hunting and glad youre on track towards your goal. I am tired of dicking around with the snow and frozen ground. Maybe Im just a southern boy at heart.

Salvation from winter is just a few tanks of gas away. I made that decision 30 years ago.
Ya know no one is justified in complaining where they live. If you have to live somewhere because of a job or family whatever, Suck it up!
If your staying, become the snow... or something like that. I actually kinda miss deep snow at times but I'm only 30 min from it.

We got 12 to 14 inches in NYC. We usually get less than upstate New York especially the areas closer to the Lake Effect Snow. The milder weather in the city has allowed me to hunt 18 times already this year. Now that I'm retired, I look forward to getting out more often. The summer will be here soon and we will be complaining about the heat and humidity.
I will be moving to northwest Pennsylvania soon but certainly not because of the weather. I don't think the treasure bounty will be on an even par but I do believe the quality of living will be better.
The weather is warming every day and next Sunday or Monday are starting to look good.
Hope everything works out for you at KellyCo.

Let me be the first to pre-welcome you to Pa. against the wind. You will find it colder here than you are used to. Of late we have been better off than NYC though.

These last couple of days have been the worst, since the storm has past its taking its sweet time melting. I'm hoping to at least get out this weekend. Don't worry RevRob, it will all be over soon, and to everybody else, I never complain about the heat up here!

I dont know, prob. The coil, went from being an awesome machine to constant low beeps when there is nothing and not picking up actual legitamate signals. Luv that machine though, hope it doesnt take long to fix.
