Default 50 coin day: in the tracks of Shoeless Joe Jackson

From the land of the Bluenose..well was a busy few days and luckily I had some of it off. Had a family get together at the father-in-laws with over 50 in attendance. Lots of good food and a "Heated" washer tournament.

Of course after the games the the combatants sat around with the "BS" so thick that a knife could cut it!

Of course the ladies stayed out of it and where on the other side of the deck with the younger ones taking refuge under the gazebo.

Later that day it was off on a dig with Johhny White Pail who is shown here ready to tackle a soccer/ballfield.

A nice sou'wester breeze made for a pleasant hunt but did make it rather difficult forthis bouy to shoot hoops!

Bardman and I had done this place a few times and expectations were not that high but we did manage a few coins with JWP and the White's finding 33 ( he is really taking to this machine) and I at 79 with a 1966 silver dime that I ripped with my digging knife.

A mystery did unfold as a new pair of sneakers were left by the ballfield...."Build it and they will come!"

Jwp ended up with over $3 for the day. After we parted ways I went to a local lake and cooled off...of course I had the trusty Garrett Seahunter Mk2 on my hip and added to the days total which was a 1966 dime, golf ball, earing, key clip and 95 coins @$6.35
