Quick woods hunt / frozen tundra

[granthansen]

The ground here in north Jersey is completely frozen, and I've always heard soil in wooded areas doesn't freeze so quick. I had a quick half hour break while my daughter napped so I grabbed my gear and headed to the woods at the end of my block. I've never hunted these woods before so I kind of just wanted to see what kind of signals I'd get. I did, of course, bring along my Teknetics pick axe, you know, just in case. I was expecting a really really junky terrain, but it was quite the opposite! So much so that I quickly moved into zero discrimination and didn't hear much clatter. Most of what I found were beer cans, pull tabs, and bottle caps. Got 2 nails and some clad: 1 quarter and 1 penny. Both 1980s. By the looks of them I'm not sure what the heck is going on with this soil!!! Should I be afraid?

Yeah that's one messed up penny. My soil chews them up pretty bad to.

Yeah that looks like some bad soil, but don't you just love the woods finds. The woods near me the the finds are right on the surface, and good old ones at that. One was from 1861, and right on the surface!

I've never had much luck in woods unless I was by a cellar hole. But sometimes it's just good to get out and clear my head. But you're right, everything was shallow. I guess a lot of rocks and roots will do that.
