Hello-

I have been detecting for about 2 years now and am completely hooked. Just found this site and am always looking for others to talk about my hobby. I live in Minnesota and the detecting season is about wrapped up as the ground has started to freeze. The countdown to spring has started.

Thanks

Greg
 
Hey Greg, Welcome aboard from western MA. We are getting rain instead of snow here, but the writing is on the wall. The season is coming to a close :( Time to do some research and dream about next year :lol: Glad you found us and hope to see some of your treasures from your first 2 years of hunting.
 
Here's another welcome from western MA. Looking forward to your finds. As stated before, rain here but the "S" word is coming.
 
Welcome from Michigan Greg!
What sort of hunting do you do mostly?

The ground here flash froze, and at the moment you'd need a cordless drill and some C-4 to dig a hole. Hopefully it will thaw enough next week for me to get at least one more detecting fix before packing it in for the season.
 
Hello Greg and welcome to a really cool forum for a really really cool hobby. I am brand new to both! My name is Kasey and I live in Georgia. I am so totally hooked on MDing and cannot wait for my next hunt. It rained here yesterday and while it isn't raining now, the wind is blowing ferociously, so hunting today isn't looking so swell. I have heard that it is going to be a cold winter for us here in GA, which ordinarily I wouldn't care. But now that I have a good, fun reason to be out there, I'm not looking forward to the cold. I'm sure you aren't one for me to be complaining about the cold to; Minnesota is COLD!
Hope you get to get out at least a few more times.
HH,
Kasey

Hello and weclome the Pacific Northwest. Digging in winter here is not too bad. We have thousands of micro-climates in the northwest but right here we usually only have snow and frozen ground for a few weeks, the rest of the time it's a cold windy rain. Post some pics of your good finds!
 
Greg welcome from Long Island. Still not that cold here but it is approaching quickly. Hope to get out on a few more hunts before the S shows up. Stay safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
 
Welcome from Northern Illinois. As I told Wisconsin Digger, If you can't wait until spring, Ill come up with gas powered post hole digger.
Where there's a will........

Thanks for the replies. I hunt mostly parks / beaches with a few private "Honey Holes". I hope to get out at least one more time but working in retail it is gangbusters after tomorrow until Christmas. I'll try to post some finds from this year and a few goodies from last year so here goes. Happy Thanksgiving


Greg

Hi Greg! :waving:

Nice War Nickel and silver Washington Quarter! :thumbsup02:

Glad you joined the forum and we're looking forward to your future finds! I hope you are able to get a few more hunts in this season. It seems like the colder weather is arriving earlier this year.

Best of luck!
 
Welcome to the forum Greg from SE Wisconsin. It is always nice to welcome a fellow Midwesterner. Stay warm this winter and good luck with your research.
 
Thanks Guys, The season is now come to an end. It is snowing and the highs are supposed to be in the single digits by the end of the week. Time for research and possibly making some contacts.


Greg
 
Nice looking war nickel! I'm glad you joined us...we share your enthusiasm. :yes:
Here's to a short/mild winter :beerbuddy:
 
Just joined up while I was contemplating just how long this weather will keep me from detecting. This forum looks great and will hopefully provide some instruction and general communication opportunities with like minded folks.
i just settled in the Madison area and found Wisconsin to be a not so friendly metal detecting state. I seems that the state department of natural resources has done a good job of restricting our hobby on state owned land and water. I intend to join a local club and see what approach they take to find good potential sites that ca be legal to hunt. If any of you have any WI experience or ideas let me know.
for those of you that enjoy metal detecting friendly states be thankful.
looking forward to the forum and future communications.
Swinging low and slow with my E-Trac.
