I used to live up in Dover Deleware back a few years ago. My hunting partner and I would hunt even in 40 degree weather at some sites. We really were into hunting, even in the cold. Dug mostly dirt sites. cCol weather isn't too bad, just got to dress for it. Didn't get into the beach thing till I got down here to florida.... Buster....

I probably go out as much in the cold as I do in nice weather (neither is as much as I'd like to. Good time for those grown up areas, the ticks are gone and not as much brush to contend with

Welcome to Treasure Quest. Cold weather detecting can be fun. The snow can keep the ground from freezing. Check out John and I hunting in the appalachian mountains of south west PA.

Another reason to cold weather hunt - is that only us "crazies" are out - eliminating a lot of the competition for goodies!

Happy hunting and wear your electric socks and underwear!
