We are experiencing colder than normal temperatures here in Wisconsin and I can see an end to my detecting season coming soon. The ground is starting to freeze so I thought try and squeeze in a couple more hunts.

The first hunt was a return to the grove with the 6 inch coil on the CTX. The tempuratures was in the mid teens with wind chills in the single digits. As always the grove did not disapoint me. I managed two more silvers, a 38 & 42 Merc. I also found a couple wheats and $1.64 in clad.

The second hunt was a return to the camp Ive been hunting. It was a little more of a challenge with temps in the mid teens and an inch of snow on the ground. Like the previous trips it also gave up the goods. I found two more silvers a 43 Merc and a 47-D Rosie. I also found an 03 Indian, a nice sterling pendant, 10 wheats and $1.60 in clad.

We are suppose to warm up here for a few days next weeks so hopefully that will extend my season into December. I hate to have to pack it up for the year.

Hard fought with the temperature and wind, but some nice items nonetheless. Hopefully you'll get a few more hunts in before the deep freeze.

A couple more nice hunts Jeff! :thumbsup01:
Congrats! :grin:
I hear ya on the cold. We've already got some light frost in the ground here.
But from what I hear we might be getting a slight warm up over the weekend.
But I'll be up north deer hunting. So my year might be over as well. :bummer:

Them are some well earned treasures. Makes me want to go out and brave the cold here in Central NY. No snow where I live. Just cold and the ground is frozen the first two inches.

Nice finds Jeff. You must be one tuff bird to hunt in that kind of weather. Hope you have a nice warm fire to thaw out in. Congrats on the Silver and IH.

Out hunting with temps in the teens...your're definitely a die hard. I guess if the wind wasn't too bad you could keep sorta warm. Congrats on the nice finds.
