From the land of the Bluenose.....breakfast in bed, shopping, a drive and a trip to Tim's paved the way for a late afternoon dig. Wasn't planning to go out today but the weather was great and Marie had things to do.
Had been talking to a newbie on the phone earlier in the day and decided to follow in his foot steps and do a a local park. Upon arrival noted that the beach area was full of holes that had not been filled in. Recall mentioning to the fellow who brought a Garrett that even on beached fill in those holes so I took up the cause and filled in a few of them as I dug my own holes popping a tad of coppers in the process.
This photo doesn't do justice as I had quite the air show going on overhead as the ospreys were diving for fish.
Hit a ring just up from the beach but not sure at this point if it is silver but it did pass the magnet test. Did put a nice ding it in digging it up.
About ten yards from this find hit a first for this bouy in the forum of a token.
Approaching the slide and climbing area of the park I noticed red things scattered on the ground and picked them up. Um.........think someone had a Kinder Surprise candy and threw this bouy away before Dr. Frankenstin gave it life!
Anyway got my quota for the day which included a ring, the ref token and 50 coins @$4.45
