Detecting in the winter...

More specifically, detecting in the SNOW!

So... you got the winter blues? Snows up to your food recycler and ya can't get out the door? Have no fear! check out these two...



Still haven't really figured out the point for this adventure, other than they just got the urge to get out. Either that or their wives kicked 'em out for one reason or other. Anyway, check out how deep this snow is. The guy swinging seems to really not be too interested in being there based on his swinging patterns. Swinging patterns.... hm... maybe THAT has something to do with being locked out in the cold by the old lady!!!!

How NOT to dig craters!

Did Buzz Aldrin make all those craters?

When it comes to recovering a detected target, practice makes perfect. Well, not really, but at least we get a little better over time and the craters we leave behind get a little bit smaller.

Target recovery is such an important part of the hobby, and can be the difference in being given permission to dig on someone's property or getting kicked out of the park. The smaller the hole you dig, and the better job you do replacing the plug you did dig, the more likely you will be allowed to return. Hence, we have not since put an astronaut on the moon in a long time... makes you wonder. Maybe Buzz should have watched the video below!

Welcome to my new AND improved Metal Detecting blog!

Howdy! The name's "beetle", and I'm creating this blog for all fellow detectorist to blow off some steam, ask some questions, submit their "whutzit" pictures, post finds, and just discuss the hobby!

I intend to update BMDB at LEAST once a week to start with.

This is a new venture for me, so start submitting! Make suggestions, offer advice, give me a clue!


Got something for me? Send it here: beetle662@yahoo.com

So stay tuned for the 1st report here on new blog!

Hope to see ya around!
