Default Rain...

...grrrrr. Been raining here in Ohio for the last 30 some hrs. and not supposed to stop until later this week . The ground is saturated and flooding all over. My yard feels like a wet sponge. Bad thing is, can't hunt in the rain. Good thing is, with the ground wet,,, alot deeper and stronger signals and easy digging......

Guess I'LL set back drink some Beer and wait it out.

I can't wait to get some drenching rains here. We need it bad, not just for the detecting, but my grass is all brown and the ground is so dry it is just hard like cement, even the clay beneath the topsoil is dry and crumbly. We got rain last night and are getting it now, but to be honest I wish that hurricane had come up the east coast.

Pappy, wish we could send you some rain from Texas. We've had more than our share and more is on the way.

Hope you get some rain soon.

Amen to that. Iwas just talking to my freind John At Johns Detectors to let him know I got my new sand scoop I ordered from him & he said they had 12 inches in 10 hrs. It's been raining here in tower city PA. since yesterday and I've been chomping at the bit so it stopped about an hour ago and I figuered I'd try to get 1 hole dug. took my Wilson out along the sidewalk in back, got a good solid tone and what do you know, I got my first Mercury Head Dime 1939 in Exellent shape at 9" down. Started raining again but I already had my Prize and was inside. The ground here has been like concrete to but now it's nice and diggable. Hope Anyone who needs rain Gets It & those getting It have Good luck digging in something soft for a change.

Good Luck to All & HH.

I took off work today, had it planned. All day long I think I was able to detect for only 2-3 hours between the rain storms, and I mean STORMS, DOWNPOURS . Hopfully next Monday the weather wil cooperate.

We have been begging for rain here in MIssissippi. We have hit temps of about 104-106 degrees at some points but now have lapsed into a cold spell of 90-95. This has been an all summer event. The showers that we have had will give us pouring rain in one place and about 3-4 miles away you still have to use the lawn sprinklers. Anyway it is only bearable to hunt late in the evening between 7:00pm-9:00pm. Can't wait for rain!!!!
