    Metal Detecting

    Winter edition... The frost line is 6 to 8 inches in spot. The ground just laughs at the Lesche and shovel. Took out the heavy artillery today. Kind of a drag lugging them around but they made digging a little more acceptable.

    A cordless drill w/auger bit, a little C4, and you might get into the ground here.

    I've thought about using Tannerite, but I don't want to alarm the local Gend'armes or get the attention of Homeland Security.

    That is some sheer determination, of which I can fully understand (the MD fever, not the frozen ground.)

    Nice I see some digging but no gold coins I bet you are VERY selective on which targets get dug.

    Didn't realize that they were part of a metal detectorists tool kit. Hope your hunt went well.

    You probably wouldn't feel it, as your hand would probably be frozen too.
