Default last dig as a 50 year old

From the land of the Bluenose...after being awoken by Scotty as I was in lala land having worked night shift it was up and off to Windsor. Hooked up the water wings on his truck and crusied down the 101. Stopped at Makinholes who showed us more of his recent finds and was a tad upset that he had domestics to take care of and couldn't come play in the mud with us.

It was then off to the park in ankle dig water for a quick dig. Scotty was having fun as as soon as he dug a plug it filled with water and made target retrival a real pain in the butt. I too had this problem and moved to higher ground to no avail. After a hand full of clad each we gave up and took the scenic route home as I pointed out digging spots along the way. No coins of note found but was entertaining with Scotty giving a running monologue of his research the whole way up and back...good newbie!

So 5 coins on my last dig as a 50 year old. Have invited Pink Floyd and Mr. Bud and a dozen of his friends over for the evening. Once Marie sees the mess then it wouldn't be so bad! With these 5 coins have reached a personal one month high for coins ....1103. Cheers!

I say, I too have experienced the plug hole filling with water -- what a muddy pain. Congrats on the half-century mark and may the second half be better than the first!
