The ground is hard here too. If it's not to deep frozen the ground is usually soft underneath and a hatchet works wonders for the hard layer. Just make a square hole with it. Just don't do it anywhere that matters because it makes a ugly filled in hole when your done. Save the yards and other peoples property that matters for when the big thaw comes! (:Nice Dig's !!! here in Tioga County New York it's Cucking Fold and the ground is Solid even in the Sunniest of spots. Last year when I first got My Garrett Ace 350 I hit a strong silver spot and broke My hand trowel trying to get to it. I went back the next day with a Big Garden shovel w/ a point and got it out It was a Cross Pendant 970 and a makers mark ... I been back several times looking for the chain it was on but no luck ...Getting the "Fever" reading all the posts here about GOLD!!! H.H. PEACE Garry Paul
