todays spot with Sieve Queen

[leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose.....todays spot is a mere 30 minutes down a meandering scenic road that leds to a provincial park. It is heavily used for company picnics and family outings as well as hosting an annual bass tournament each summer. This is a great place also for land digs and I often take newbies here to show them the ropes.

The beach itself is barely 100 wide and fans out about half that length with a nice sandy bottom with no fears of leeches or swimmer's itch. Life guards take little interst in swishing here but do like to see the crap taken out. This photo was taken a few years back and shows my better half taking over the swishing. If I recall correctly she found a few coins that day with me assuming the duty of cleaning out the sieve which is usually her only involvement in the hobby as she is part crow and likes things that shine. Since then I believe she has detected twice. Don't think that has anything to do with her stepping on a crab while doing Queensland Beach!

There is a nice path that circumnavigates the point affording a panoramic view of the entire lake not to mention giving up the odd colonial token as the park was once a huge hay farm. Further down the lake is a private beach that I have access to that has given up several diamond rings. Have only taken one other swisher to that beach and that was Romeo from Calgary who spent three days with us. Needless to say he got his ring fix!
