Depending on where you live, metal detecting can be reduced to 9 months a year, and in some areas even less. But wouldn't you like to pursue your favorite hobby without a break for a long winter? Many search engines write that even breakage rolls in winter: you really want to dig at least something, at least “killed” coins. But even if the ground is completely frozen and you can only cut it with an ax, a real treasure hunter will always find a way out!

Ice-free bodies of water or rivers

If your area has bodies of water or rivers that do not freeze for the winter, then you can always put on knee pads or even a wetsuit and walk around with your favorite detector. Searching in shallow water can bring a lot of pleasure and pleasant impressions, and, importantly, a lot of interesting finds. Also in the water, as a rule, there is much less metal debris. Looking there is a pleasure.

Almost all metal detectors can be submerged in water up to the block. And if you're worried about water getting into the control unit, there are several amphibious models designed for shallow diving, such as Minelab CTX 3030 or Garrett AT Pro.

Beaches and coastlines

A coastline or beach, especially a seaside one, can be a great place for a winter dig. Even if the entire area is quite frozen and is under a significant layer of snow, beaches and coastlines are often accessible for detecting, because under the influence of water and wind there is little or no snow on them. Yes, and the sand in such places rarely freezes to a great depth, and even if it is frozen, then the winter sun is enough to warm it up a little. Depending on where you live, the amount of time available for such a dig (while the sun warms the sand) can vary from a few hours to almost a full day.

Winter sports or fishing grounds

Even if the ground is thoroughly frozen and the snow is knee-deep, you still should not lose heart! Ski slopes, ice skating and hockey fields, and ice fishing spots will delight you with pleasant finds, from coins that have fallen out of your pockets to lost jewelry. This is quite logical, given that in such places people are constantly on the move and notice that they have lost something only when they have already returned home. A great idea for a winter search - no need to wait until the snow melts and the ground thaws, and the finds can be throughout the winter.

Look for places to travel next season

If it’s absolutely bitter cold outside and the snowdrifts are so thick that you can’t even dig out the car, use your time to good use, start looking for places to dig for the next season. Search engines with experience carefully prepare their trips, and do not go "on the ball" - just to wave the detector.

Look for former villages, as well as places where people spent a lot of time: crowded roads, fairs, fords and crossings. Such information can be found in the city archive. It would be nice to chat on the forums, the comrades will always suggest something useful and efficient. And finally, talk to the local residents of villages and villages. True, the information received from them should be subjected to verification for common sense. Do not rush to immediately look for the “Tiger” on the collective farm field or the treasure of gold coins the size of a cart, which, according to rumors, lies under some kind of oak. However, as everyone knows, a fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it - you can interesting stories find out, and there, who knows, maybe you won’t stay at the place advised by the old-timers even without finds.
