Metal detecting during winter

[smithkt161]

Hey everyone. I like in west michigan and this winter has been horrible. I live 30 minutes from Lake Michigan. Our temps are still low and I was wondering if we could metal detect in the sand or is it too hard? And will it hurt my metal detecter? Any thoughts/comments would be great! Thanks!

Im in NY so I feel your pain. I think sand would be your best bet imho.

Don,t think will hurt your detector...I been out last 2 days -19 and -10 celsius and been at it all winter....only thing I can see that is affected is that the hot rocks seem worse on the coldest days.

And I complain when it gets down into the 30's here. Geeez!! It has been a long crazy winter. Better days are ahead though...mosquitos and sweat are just around the corner. HH!

Don't you have any snow? If you tried that here you would have to have your coil about 4 or 5 feet off the ground!

I doubt even if the sand is visible that you could chisel through it. I was at Grand Traverse Bay two weeks ago and there are 3-4 feet of snow on the beach. Downstate I still have 2+ feet of snow in my yard.

Might be above freezing tomorrow, that's a start.

HH,

Beaches on the East side of the state....................like concrete!!, under the snow

Beach's here are ok, below the high tide line, other than that they are rock solid.
