Default No such WX here!

Hi Kenneth!

Typical SW WA wx here: 60's, rain, some sun... Still in a Spring weather pattern.
Taking a slight break from detecting here. I went Agate hunting last weekend on a local creek, and couldn't believe my eyes when I discovered huge Agates scattered all over the sand bars! No one had been there yet...
I brought home about 30 pounds of mixed Agates, Jaspers, Petrified Woods, and dinosaur poop (Coprolites).
Now I have to buy a bigger tumbler....
May go back tomorrow and begin mining the sand bars themself.

HH! -Tom

Default that is a good idea..

JamesWV use's one. I carry a cooler with drinks and keep about a quart on me. I just go back to the cooler,rest and reload on the drinks. I cant wear a back pack cause they burn me up. I bought a waist pack.

Finding those type of rocks I will bet are alot of fun!! I go Indian arow head hunting sometimes and just yesterday under a Huge tree I was detecting and wasnt even looking for arrow head but I dug up a 1945 dime and a small arrow head that looks like it is made out of quartz !!!! I dont know if it is old or fairly new but in good condition!!! HAPPY HUNTING !!! KENNETH

Well Ken, for what its worth, it has been in or near 90 for the last week up here in N.Mich. Thunderstorms every day, and the humidity has been high to boot. Almost wish it would snow just to cool things down a tad. AKKKKKKK! what am I saying! I'll take the heat, winter comes fast enough up here as it is.

Default Winter Time !!!

I used to live in Montrose Colorado and when winter comes , it comes with a vengence !!!! The detecting days are few and far between there ! I now live in Oklahoma and sometimes miss those Colorado cool days in the mountains !!! BUT I think I can deal with the heat and mild winters here compared to Colorado winters !!! MORE DETECTING TIME !!!!!! HAPPY HUNTING KENNETH

Well we hit a 104 for the day with a heat index of 110!!! Me and a friend went out today and all the traffic passing by was probably saying those are some crazzzzy chicks!!!! Just can't keep a determined detectorist down.
Talking about some hot gatorade!!!
Was pretty good actually!!!

Did find a salt shaker with lid still attached and think someone was trying to tell me something!!! Need to put the salt back in the body after all that sweating!!! a few new coins, nothing old and a citizen watch. My new friend...out did me today and she is really enjoying the hobby!!! All in all with this heat we still had an enjoyable day!!!

HH
