From the land of the Bluenose.....Marie was off to a wedding with the girls as one of her fellow employees was getting hitched.

I was home playing scrabble on line and holding my own but that got kind of thin after I played a person from the Philippines who bitch slapped me by 200 points....back to back bingos.

I called Navy Davy as the rain let up and no answer so I figured where he would be...and he was....the lowered lake. As I approached him he had the grin and promptly showed me a dozen buttons that he had already dug. Best of the lot was the little anchor cuff one! Had the Freedom 3 and was loaded for whatever. Sad to say that after about my 15th target I enlisted ND's help in hole digging as I was just too sore. On one such target ND pulled apart the plug he dug for me and out popped the best 1832 this bouy has ever dug.

Anyway we (mostly he) dug a few more coins and called it a day.

Navy Davy's loot!

Bluenoser's take.

Anyway Tuesday is the big day and scared sh$tless as the worst thing I have ever had done to me is got half a tooth pulled out from my police years when I got kicked in the face by a lady whose husband I was choking out in the middle of the road.

Thanks ND for digging me holes and just glad I didn't have to go on a nature call.....lol! <;)

Sweet hunt! That navy button looks similar to the 1820-30s one I found a few weeks ago. That half penny is in very nice condition, congrats!
