The Ice Is Out on the Lake ....and so are the Tongs

[Gypsy Heart]

Yeehaw....Ice is almost gone and Mariah and I were able to hunt the lakeshore this morning!!!!! First find... not even twenty minutes into the game....Ice tongs.....

Way to go Gypsy! That lake of yours looks to take up some acrerage. Beautiful.

Digging those negative numbers again. Sometimes it pays off. Why can't I ever find anything made of iron/steel that looks that good. All my crape is more crust that iron. Sort of a punishment for digging it for me.

COOL find Gypsy. That has to be a first here on TN. Congrats to you.
At first I thought the post read "THONGS". Darn it.
If you still have ice, will my son and I be catching frozen fish on our June trip up there?
-MM-

 

[Gypsy Heart]

Yes...there is still a lot of ice on the lake ....and trust me.... the water is cold....came home with water in my boots....LOL......but its great to be hunting.....

If I didnt dig negative numbers...I would never dig!

You haven't enjoyed the thrill of digging 46 pulltabs, 18 crushed beer cans, and 74 bottle tops?? You haven't lived.

What a COOL find !! 8)

Of all the stories and pictures of how they harvested ice back in the day you'd think more tongs would be found near water

Gypsy, congrats on you & Mariah FINALLY getting out to hunt. . . even if it's only along the shore.
I'd love to find a part of WI like that. . . anytime!. . . I'm bringing my detector next time I'm up in that
neck of the woods fishing with my brother & sons

Take care & all the best with the move!
