dismal disappointing dinkie day but...photo

[leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose...thought I'd try a fun hunt and look for something specific...the elusive dinkie. Armed with both my Garretts I set off on a rather hazy day....or was it me in a haze as I had a meeting with Bud the night before. Anyway pointed Goquickski south east and hit a few local parks hoping that I would find my prey where the rugrats hang out. Oops have to be politically correct these days....vertically challenged individuals! The beach proved futile so I tried in the grassy area to no avail snagging a load of pennies in the process.

Putting the Freedom 3 in the trunk I grabbed the Seahunter and headed in the drink to see if the dinkie could be found. Notta, zilch, zip ...no dinkie could be found but did capture a small silver ring, a nice necklass and 52 coins at $6.02. Such is life in the land of the Bluenose!

After taking the photo of the finds I happened to glance out the window and there in the stream behind the parking lot was a blue heron. Nice to see the wildlife (that flies or walks on more than two legs) return to the Little Sackville River. Last week saw a muskrat. Have the photo of the bird but I think the Kodac easyshare will share no more...toast or near it. Mick was called and will have her's once again till I can get a new one.

Hi Leslie!

Greetings from the Land of the Never Ending Rain... Sorry to hear you didn't find much loot, but glad you had a good time and got to see the wildlife.
This is also the Land of the Elk, get to see a lot of them here.
Both my el cheapo digital cameras went kerplop, so I buy disposables, and for an extra $2.97 US, War-Mart gives me a CD with 500 kb each pictures.
Works great, came in real handy the other day when we came around a corner on a dirt road, and a herd of ATV's plowed into us.
Fortunately only one impacted, and he was damned lucky to only get minor scrapes and bruises.
The camera saved our proverbial posteriors! Got us off the hook with the investigators.
My co-worker has four days left on his job probation, and the camera certainly helped him.
Hope to go Agate hunting this weekend, and slowly get back to metal detecting.
Digesting Jeff Foster's DFX book right now.

HH! -Tom

From the land of the Bluenose...you are one buy man! Agate hunting seems like a blast. Hope fully you'll have a story to post onthat. Yes it's not all about high tech and high cost items that can save ones derierrie! There are times when a $20 bill can't do what a 5 cent book of matches can....lol!

I know this is a newbie type question, but I have no idea the answer.

What is a DINKIE???

[Gregory]

Hello,
A dinkie is them little hot wheel cars kids play with.

About once a year I spot one of those birds flying by. Them long legs look funny as they fly.
When we visit Virginia I see them more often.
