What types of digging are you doing in your area now?

[smokeythecat]

I have mainly done beaches since mid May due to bugs, snakes, heat and all those foul things. Next week the temps will drop 10 degrees, so it will probably frost here within a month, then its deer season. The fields are just now starting to get harvested, it will another few weeks before the soybeans are done. Saw a huge buck run across the road in front of me today, fortunately, 100 feet in front of me.

I'm hitting the local river swimming holes. Any time now we will be getting a lot of rain and the river will rise and wash out all the sandy beach areas. I want to make sure I get the good stuff before it's gone for good.

Civil War relics in harvested soybean and corn fields ......... so hot that we hunt from just after daylight to about 9 30 ..... not as tough as I was 40 or 50 yrs ago ....

Sidewalk stripes and yards

Pounding cellar holes at the moment. And yards when I can get a hold off my permissions. Pretty much anywhere I can get a coil on the ground.

Yards, recreation areas, parcs, forrest, beach....

Went Saturday to the beach and cleaned up, and yesterday the lawn and the woods. Woods adventure didn't last long as we stirred up a zillion yellow jackets. Won't go there again until the frost comes. Could be a few more weeks although the trees have not been fooled, they are losing their leaves now.

I am still hunting permissions, curb strips, some parks and schools. I will be going into the woods and fields in a month to hit old home sites that have not existed for quite some time, but are on the 1857 county map. I currently am working on permissions for all 3 sites. I might hit the local beach later this week. It does not get much use and I have yet to find much in the water there.

Well after an Irma hurricane pounding, and no Internet and bad phone service. I can finally post once in a while. So we are doing the post Irma shallow water and beach hunting thing. I got some 1733 galleon fleet relics in the form of bridle rosettes and strap keepers with floral pattern. Tried to post pics in the shipwreck forum but they won't open. I'm lucky to be online at all right now. Hope to get on some treasure coins this week if possible. Getting a lot of big hard wood logs for the saw mill right now. Wild tamarind ,Jamaican dogwood, and West Indies mahogany. Won't be long before someone stumbles into some Spanish treasure. The hurricane has changed everything. I've seen spots scoured down to coral rock. 3-4 feet of sand has been stripped off the bottom in places.
Good luck and happy hunting everyone.

Woods, farms and yards. Getting out all day every Saturday and Sunday.. I'll be shut down for 5-6 months in a few weeks

Clad stabbing. Ground is still too hard & dry for digging plugs.

Like OP said above, Swimming holes till the frost beats down the poison ivy, and the skeeters and ticks die, then it's detecting till the ground freezes (Michigan). Winter I magnet fish with 3 pairs of gloves on and goretex pants and jacket. Then I won't be able to get out till March at the latest to detect. Then once late May hits I will be back in the water.

Last winter we only missed two weekends, other than that, the ground was good to go. Ordered fuel oil today, fall is here, but still 83 degrees out today.

Amen to that sir, from a 61 year old Relic Hunter from Georgia. I resemble that remark.
