    Research is the key

    Hey what can I say, we waste no time lol Del and I got up early and were trudging through the snow at daybreak. We were looking for new cellar holes to do this coming Spring (or sooner lol) Must have put on 4 miles or so, but it felt like 10 with the snow and hilly terrain Here's some pictures of the 4 cellar holes we found today . I believe from the last picture, Dan is a happy man It's never too early to hit the books and walk the trails everyone thumbsup01

    Re: Research is the key

    what the heck was i doing in the 4th picture , posing i don't remember doing that lol lol o.k. somebody say it yes Dan is sporting the latest winter apparel and camo-styled hiking boots , he's a capricorn and loves long walks on the beach lol lol lol i suspect you photo shopped those George , we're even for the log scooting shots i got of you buddy lol lol

    but seriously we did do alot of tough hiking out in a suspected area that we thought had some promise despite the fact the maps didn't show any of these sites . this year wer're not wasting any time to do the research and about 4 hours of exercise with atleast 3 cellars to show for it is a very good day and i believe when our reasearch is done there will be some serious copper totals this year.

    You bet it is lol It really did look cold, but we were definitely overdressed. It probably reached 40ish when we finished up. That is a heat wave here in New England This kind of research will pay off many times over come Spring. Besides, we both can use the exercise rofl

    Anytime you want to come up Steve, just PM Del and beg for permission rofl He usually gives in after about 20 minutes of constant whining. No guarantees on finding anything but it may happen. It's a dog eat dog world out there cellar hole hunting lol

    lol lol You did several poses there Dan. lol

    That is quite a bit of snow that still remains out there. stretcher: But all that effort trekking through the woods in that snow in search of new hunting grounds will pay off handsomely. thumbsup01
