Getting impatient, How long does it take to thaw out the ground? I never had given it much thought until i got into this hooby.

I was out detecting today and the all day sunny areas are thawed but the shady spots are still rock hard and should be ready to dig by tuesday, wednesday i hope. Last year at this time i was in full work mode customers calling left and right (groundskeeping) this year i feel like the "Can you hear me Now Guy". So much for Global Warming ,i'm selling my carbon offsets

Hang in there it won't be long before you be swingin. HH Bill
