Default need help identifying this find

From the land of the Bluenose....another night of sleeping on the airmatress in the living room! Right away I can imagine you folks thinking that Marie had kicked me out of the bed for snorring or letting a "sou'wester' rip but that was not the case. Find it easier on my back sleeping on the floor and easier for Marie who didnt have to put up with my tossing, turning and groans. Heading out tomorrow for xrays and another trip to my "witch doctor" Seetharamado for some more of those mind altering meds.

Must say though my appetite is gone and Marie is now putting me to good use with all the weight I've lost!
Have two new part time jobs till the witching night is over; test pilot in a broom factory plus Marie rents me out to haunt houses on the weekends!

Did work and extra shift on my first day off so today I went a digging at a local park that has produced some silver by the old well.
Found it odd that the leaves on these trees had not changed like the ones outside of my place.


Penny parade started with the first swing of the backup Garrett followed by a pair of kids rings, a couple of foreign coins (Spanish and Nederlands..not old)and a nice hat badge which I could use some help on identifying.

Back started to really bother me so after the above finds and 78 coins @ $3.62 I called it a day.


Of course Marie arrived home from work and wanted me to try on our halloween costumes....sure would like to take a bite out of her for that!

I see you found some American coins there. Let me ask you something, can you folk use our money up there? Once in awhile I'll get change back from McDonalds’ and they'll give me back a Canadian coin and I'll gripe because it is worthless here in the states. I don't know about anybody else but it's kind of hard to pass off a Canadian coin I've been caught too many times and don't try any more.

From the land of the Bluenose.....no problem using USA coins here. By the way our money is worth more than yours....first time in over 30 years that this has happened!
