Hello Fellow T-Neters,
It's probably been about 5 weeks since we've done any Metal Detecting here. The weather got cold right after Thanksgiving and stayed that way. Small amounts of snow have come and gone but there have been many days that we never got about freezing.
A couple of weeks ago we acquired a TDI and have anxious to try it out. The past 2 days the temperature was fairly decent with yesterday probably reaching 50. So this morning DeArmitt and I thought we give it a try for some Musketballs at a Wiskey Rebellion Camp I've been working on and of since '93. We can usually manage a Musketball or two still with an occasional button or coin thrown in. The great thing about this place is it have been used for thousands of years. First by Native Americans then by Settlers.
We got there and the field was Still Frozen Big Time ! Nothing was thawed. The digging was just plain not going to happen other than a few inches. Even then the dirt was full of ice crystals. DeArmitt using the TDI scored two .58 Caliber Musketballs and a really nice Arrowhead. Today I was carrying the Fisher F-75 Special Edition and running in the Plowed Field mode and found a .36 & .58 caliber Musketball and a few flint pieces that had seen human contact, probably making some points. All in all a good start to a New Year, hopefully a good omen of things to come.
