Default Woody Diggit and the Gauntlet of Doom

From the land of the Bluenose.....well Cabin Fever Confessions Two is now complete. This year there is more photos and I've taken the liberty of including a few pics from this years digs plus eye ball finds while detecting.

A Bluenose Production filmed at Schooner Studios in Nova Scotia. This years story junk pile components.
Let your imagination soar and take you on a journey of danger, adventure and action Enjoy.

WOODY DIGGIT AND THE GAUNTLET OF DOOM

Let's
it, winters in
can be darn right inhospitable. Woody Digget felt like the walls of his humble abode were closing in and that he was losing his
and going


Woody decided to have a look at the river and see if it was safe to cross.
when all of a sudden it started to hail the size of
He immediately gave up that idea and returned to his cabin as quick as you can say "kiss a cod." Woody was lonely and thought about his
Ulikea Toswing, who lived with her three sisters


The hail stopped and Woody reconed that a good stiff drink was in order so he headed to the Blue
Bar and ordered a
which he inhaled in one gulp. Drinking was not the answer but action was and Diggit needed some!

Exiting the bar Woody was approached by a
and a
who begged him to help them find a sacred artifact....the legendary "All Seeing Orb." Woody had heard rumors of this treasure which was suppose to give anyone touching it the power to see the past, future and truthfully answer any question asked by the person holding it. The little girl guide and cub looked cute in their uniforms and were looking for their parents who had not returned from a trip to Digatopia. They added that their Uncle Fisher was a mean old man and treated them poorly. This touched Diggit's heart so he agreed to give it his best shot knowing the perils that faced him.

Just then the bartender from the Blue Penquin came out of his saloon yelling that there was a bomb in the place and set to go off in
minutes. Too late................kabooooooooooooooom and the bar was no more.

Our hero knew right there and then that the "jig was up' and that his rivals had recieved word of the treasure. Woody Diggit was a blurr of action as he headed home to his private arsenal pocketing some
, a
and shoving a
down into each of his boots.

Grabbing his
(2 years worth) Diggit zipped over to his garage and debated on which
to take choosing his fastest. The quest was on!

Woody Diggit knew that there was a strong possibilty that he may not return from this one and headed over to
to make his last will and testament leaving everything to his sweetheart Ulikea Toswing. Mind you it wasn't much but Diggit wasn't the type to leave any lose ends.

Motoring down the road at an awesome pace Woody was soon in the countryside far from the cold weather and snow. Wasn't long and he was going through Kaynine County which was inhabited by two indigenous breeds, the docile manure makers Doggiedews and the clinging Leg Leeches
The road got narrower and narrower and the vegetation thicker and more forbidding.
Diggit had one incident here on a roadside stop and had to put a
on a Leg leech who thought his leg was a fire hydrant. Woody hoped the little buggar got off the leash before the week was over.

Our hero passed through this county entering into the next....Minelabville. The Rebel was parked and camouflaged as Diggit went on foot with the element of surprise still in his favour as this was a "no go zone" and home to the Minelabville Militia. Scouting and swinging along the path Woody noted fresh footprints of at least battalion size and pulled out his cellphone calling in support. Crap! They had spotted him and in no time he was surrounded by
Diggit dug in and threw everything he had at them including his 3 nine volt batteries from his Garrett. Hope was fading. This was the end! Then he heard it. The cavalry had arrived. Bookem Daniel and Tony the Tiger arrived riding the "Big UN" which was spitting lead at a most rapid pace causing the oppostition to melt into the jungle.
The Garrett Grenadiers had saved the day and Woody's thick skin.

As was the tradition after a battle the three amigos sang the battalion chant:

I love to swing my green machine
Makes me proud and oh so mean.
When I go in to a digging field
All the bling bling it does yield.

Bounty Hunter can't make the grade
Swinging one would make me affraid.
Missing all the clad is no joke
Makes me poor and leads to a stroke.

Sovereigns here can seldom be found
Except in pieces lieing on the ground.
Minelab detectors go oh so deep
Are so heavy and makes you weep!

Future "tours of digs" were made and goodbyes were said. A sneak and peak with a little swinging in between and Diggit had crossed the boundry into the "Land of Skull" who was reported to be able to turn a man into stone with just one look. Luck would have it that our hero just turned a corner and there it was, the hideous Skull King whose eyes were lighting up as he had just caught site of our man on a quest.
This was
. Woody could feel his artiries hardening under the glare and with a last ditch effort reached into his digging bag and pulled out the
and began reading Psalms 23-4; Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shawdow of death, I will fear no evil.

This proved too much for the abomination who exploded with the same magnitude as when the Imo and Mount Blanc collided on that faithful day in Halifax Harbour.

Tired from this encounter Diggit sat down for a little
and quiet wishing that he had a
blowing a cool breeze over him. Woody thought to himself that he must be a
to continue but a promise was a promise and he arose facing the sun and moved on with renewed resolve. His thoughts again drifted towards his main squeeze, Ulikea as he pulled a trinket she had given him from his pocket.


Diggit aproached a clearing and couldn't believe his luck as there was the chest that contained the treasure, "The All seeing Orb!" His quest was fullfilled.
Woody wanted to handle the orb and see what was in store for him but something held him back. Did he really want to know what was ahead? What do you do in Heaven once you are there? A thousand questions raced through his mind. He reminded himself why he had undertaken this mission...to find the kid's parents. So he cleared his mind of all thoughts, palmed the orb and asked where the kid's parents were. A transcendental shockwave galloped through Diggit's grey matter and he envisaged the children's parents stuck at The Halifax Robert L Stanfield International Airport waiting for the weather to clear so that they could fly home to their brood.
Woody felt a flood of relieve flow through his veins. What next to ask the orb? Diggit pondered this thought and finally the
rang and our hero had the answer. Somethings are better left unsaid and unseen. Woody wasn't taken a chance of letting this be settled by a roll of the
.

After several soul searching minutes Diggit returned the orb to it's case and walked over to the cliff and flung it as far as he could. Taking one last look at the view our hero turned and headed home.


One stop on the way home and our battered Woody picked up a present for Ulikea who was pleased by the
and gave Woody a hug. This is what it is all about thought Woody.....hugged by the one you love!
