Todays mucky mess

[jopher]

Temps soared through the night here in Mi. ..and through the morning, a warm rain all but obliterated the foot or so of snow that had blanketed the area. Im sure Im not the only Mi MDer that couldnt resist the urge to test the frost line. I didnt have any site in mind and with little time b-4 dark, I headed over to the local park. The areas I found that werent frozen were just....mud squash. It was a messy dig, but I managed to pull 14 rings.....13 aluminum nose-pickers and one thin 14k band! Also found a couple of coins and two tiny little magnets....soo strong you cant hardly pull them apart??
Saw a bald eagle while I was hunting...havent been out since late November....great to get out ....Best of luck to all....Joe

Glad you were able to get out. I couldn't imagine how wet the ground would be after melting a foot of snow. Nice ring and hunt

Fixin to do the same thing in the mornin with Detectingfreak. Todays rain has washed out most of the snow here. Most of Washington got hit with the snow so we have been shack wacky for a while. Great digs WTG.

Congrats on Getting Out! And on the Gold!

While we have had the rain up here in Northern Mich, it hasn't taken away enough snow to even think of getting out.
I would still need to use snowshoes, and mine are Aluminum and Magnesium, not sure that would work well with my machine.

Glad to hear some of you are getting out to play in the mud!

Congrats again,
Mark

Hey nothing wrong with your test of the frostline!
Those magnets are NdFeB (Neodymium-Iron-Boron) or "rare earth" magnets.. Great on the refrigerator if you dont want anything to fall off! One of the most powerful magnets.

Happy Hunting!

Hey Joe, I can only imagine what brutal conditions you went through to score that keeper. How could I have missed that one? Nice, J.

I too had the urge and loaded the truck with my stuff and headed south into Allegan, only to find snow that was too deep to hunt in. Did get in some recon though, think I'm on to a spot that should bring some new opportunities.

Your lucky to have the snow to melt, up to my knee caps in snow. Will send you some if you want....LOL
