I'm in the same boat... where can we go to detox to recover?

I've had to work too much, so no diggin. I got a permission tonight at a spot nearby, they're doing some construction behind an early house, some shards layin around. Hopefully it will help with the digging Joneses

I got out today for a bit. I found a privy to dig tomorrow on Christmas Eve! I did find a few local beer and a local soda and also a broken amber Piso's, and a 6" tall Three in One oil in a shallow hillside dump. No need to post pics I'm sure you've all seen 'em before.

I feel your pain.... I might get out on the 24th.. and let the son drive down the old power lines while I scout a few more old porcelain in the woods.. maybe I'll be able to dig a little deeper in the farm dump during the holiday break..

Im afraid I cant say the same! For once its actually pretty nice here in Massachusetts. Temps around 50 or 60, I went on a dig yesterday and found nothing, but I probably wont get out again for another week cause of Christmas. Hopefully it doesnt snow!

i can relate to all this. Seeing as I havent gone on an insulator hunt in about a month (I know, isnt that horrible) I had to get out today on christmas eve. I got lucky and found one insulator that was still in one piece (it's only worth 50cents though but nevertheless it's an insulator)
Happy holidays!

I can't even pick an exposed bottle off the ground....froze right to it!!  So, it's on to whitetail antler shed hunting for awhile!  However, I did dream that I found a bunch of umbrella inks!

Be careful up there in Minnesota! If you grab that bottle laying on the ground you may freeze to it. Carry a thermos of warm water to release your skin from sub zero bottles

It is a national organizeation and they call themselves The Polar Bear Club. When I was young and dumb and stationed in Denver, Colorado I entered the Polar Bear Ice Races.  It aint what it sounds like either.

You get on a snowmobile in you bathing suit and try to cross open water about 150ft or so and no one makes it but the fans bet on who will. We raised a hell of alot om money for charity.
