Woke up early this morning and tried to sneak out of the house. My son caught me and bummed a ride to his work place. It was snowing out, and about an inch had already accumulated on the ground. The temperature was about -10 C, so I grabbed an extra winter coat, filled a bottle full of hot water, set it in the coat in between the two detectors then folded the coat over. This trick should keep both machines warm as I drive my son to work and then double back to my snow hill, of course in the opposite direction :(.

Here's what the conditions were like. Can you spell S-L-I-P-P-E-R-Y? Stopping at a red light I noticed a guy begging for change. A couple of years ago, someone admitted to averaging about $1200.00 a day doing this type of work. I reluctantly ignored this fellow and continued to my snow hill. :)

I finally reached my destination. Although the pic doesn't really show it, it snowed like crazy. That's what I looked like after about 1 1/2 hours on the hill. The CAMO ACE was used on the hill. It easily ID'd the coins using the sudden audio stop method, that works so well on the ACE. The hill was starting to fill up with sledders, so I went and found a couple of tot lots to hunt. Sorry, no pics of tot lots, as they all kinda look the same. I used the CAMO CX on the tot lots. Using no discrimination, I hunted in disc mode. The CX banged nicely on coins. I pretty well dug all repeatable signals in all directions. The CAMO CX actually got more money today then the CAMO ACE 250.

My totals were not too bad. I also dug the usual junk as shown. Below is a pic of a nice earring that the CAMO CX picked up in one of the tot lots. :)
