It was cold and rainy the first 3 days of this week. The ground is saturated so I haven't been hunting in several days. I was about to go try it yesterday afternoon but got a call from a friend of mine who wanted me to go fishing with him. I haven't been fishing in 3-4 months so I said I'd go. The weather was in the low 50's and the sun would break out every once in a while and we caught 6 stripers ( 5 of which were keepers). It was a great afternoon to be out on the water and enjoying nature....

I'm not much for goal setting but I decided that there are several detecting goals I would like to achieve this year. 2005-06 were good detecting years for me even though I got away from the hobby for several months and got into kayaking/fishing and probably will again this summer.

Lots of rain lately but it finally broke today. Not the best of hiking or digging conditions. The site of the old well did give up a large (@ .45 cal) rimfire casing. Took it by a local relic hunters house today. Im not so much interested in the casing itself as its age. He told me it was probably late CW era so I must be in the right general area. Hopefully things will have dried enough overnite to have some reasonable digging conditions tomorrow.
After several days of hard digging Ive...
