wingnut hunts a quagmire

[leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose....another nice one here so with 4 hours sleep under my belt I headed out for a typical 50 coins day since I can't go too far as hunters are in the woods and the Green Machine being so fickle lately. Would be slightly annoyed to drive 60 miles and have her not work.

Hit a sports field in Dartmouth that the Bardman and I had visited earlier in the year and found that , at that time the area was too trashy and difficult to detect....maybe a small coil would have helped at that time. Well everything was going well as the ground was like mushy peas soup and when I went to dig my first plug discovered that my digging knife had gone "awol." Lord love a duck too tired for this today but found it in no time.....on the roof of the car...da!

Dug a total of 50 coins (adding 11 more at the Village green) that didn't even make a buck! Was neat digging up the wingnut, cleat, and a zillion bottle caps adding a 1996 Lietva coin, modern day bridge token (current rate is 75 cents) and a large cent that was as smooth as my elongated forehead at the VG.

Tired, unshaven, cranky with two soakers, sore knees and head hung low I called it quits after reaching reaching 61 coins and thanking the Lord for another day of being alive, great weather and blessing us all with a great hobby!

Hi Leslie,
Another good day, what more can you ask for for this time of year

Whats going on with your detector?

Reminds me of some places around here... when it's wet, it's wet!
I went to one spot, pulled a plug, and the hole immediately filled up with water: Bam! Just like that... Makes for a miserable day.
But, still, beats not getting out!
OK on your worn smooth Large Cent: Still a find I wouldn't turn down!
Hope the Goquickski gets fixed and reliable again....
We're about 850 coins for the year, just under $40 US....

HH! -Tom
