[Gypsy Heart]

Brrrrrrr....this was last week when Mona Lisa swamped Seeker in treasure hunting....I think his exact words were "You will outhunt me when Niagara Freezes in July"

Actually a very rare photo and rather cooling in this heat....

Awesome pic Gypsy and a funny reply Lisa...lol

Niagra falls is such an awesome place to be.
I would love to detect there.

Can you imagine how many coins and scorned lovers rings are at the bottom of the falls?

Smiles!

Re: Frozen Niagra Falls

Until 1912,visitors were allowed to actually walk out on the ice bridge and
view the Falls from below. February 24th of 1888 the local newspaper

reported that at least 20,000 people watched or tobogganed on the ice.
Shanties selling liquor, photographs and curiosities abounded. On February
4th 1912 the ice bridge broke up and three tourists lives were lost.

The flow of water was stopped completely over both falls
on March 29th 1848 due to an ice jam in the upper river for several hours. This
is the only known time to have occurred. The Falls did not actually freeze
over, but the flow was stopped to the point where people actually walked out
and recovered artifacts from the riverbed!

I have lived in Niagara Falls for the last 40 years, the times where it freezes like that are rare. I haven't seen it in my lifetime.
