Default century and a half thennnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

From the land of the Bluenose.....well it was Friday and my first day off. Off course Marie was working so I said to me self, "Self! Why dont youz go a digging?" So away I went. Hit the central park again and scored 107 coins @$5.98 with nothing of note.

Saturday the forecast was for high winds and rain but early in the day it looked nice so Marie and her sisters go a shopping and gitting da tings for her parents upcoming 50th anniversary and I sayz to me self, "Self why not go a digging?" So I'ze went a digging.

Decide youz to try da area by Deadman's Island and the Dingle with nothing found save for a ton of bottlecaps. Did see a nice mural on a wall there though.


Was getting darker by the moment and I then motored over to the central park again which was blanketed with albino crows and other sorts of birds otherwise the "Park was Mine." Meandered here and there picking up a few coins herez and derez tinking about da deer meat that was going to be the evening meal. Hit a pressed penny just as a few rain drops came my way. At first I thought it might have been dose white crows bombing me youz but dis what not da case.
Caption on the pressed coin read "Splash Mountain Magic Kingdom." Never heard of it youz.

Bagged my Garrett and kept on a swinging although the rain had itensifed to the point where it waza chore to swing my machine wit water soaked arms. Lord love a duck and without a doubt it was a ducky day. Wind was picking up and the rain a coming down and it gut so bad dat I couldn't hear me Garrett a purring. So I'ze said to me self "Self ..tink it is time to goz home you." So I went back to Otto who was getting a good bath and looked rather spiffy. Of course da inside was full of mud and dirt when I git in.

Managed 47 coins @ $7.29 for a two daz total of 154 coins @ $13.29....coffee money!!!!!!
Dink water got on the camera for dis shooting.

Anyway I getz home and park Otto where he can watch da water level rising. Was fit to be keel hauled and used as lobster bait as some bouy had the gaul to take me parking spot!


So I goz into the most humblest of abodes and Marie says to me, "Your some heavy on your feet dear." So I wring out me digging jacket on da floor and says, "I dink I'm retaining a bit of water today." And dat was dat till I got called in for an extra shift and Hurricane Noel hit poor ole Nova Scotia full force!

Great story as always! Seems that Splash Mountain was a ride that I rode in Disney World back in the 80's.

Great day Leslie. If I ever found 107 coins in one day it would be something of note
