    Fistfull of Labatt's Brier tokens

    Woke up well before the sun. Was blessed today as the water was shut off on our street so no wash, no dishes or baking a cake. Decided there and then that another visit to the park down the valley was in order. Took the Pro and Freedom for the journey along with a Rotten Ronnies cappuccino. Um...won a muffin on the monopoly game!
    The park was vacant with the sun just peaking through the clouds as I started to swing the Freedom 3 Plus. Gridded of the entire park and was joined by my friend Jim K of the UK...only in my mind I guess as I had left too early to call Navy Davy!

    Lent him my pro but he seemed more interested in yaking.
    Anyway the gridding took a little over 2 hours with the oldest coin a 1928 wheatie with a handful of the tokens. Over quota. Think it only fitting that the figurine I found was of a bear which is featured on the Labatt's token. Added a neat old button plus a musket ball intact.

    My friend he just.................faded away!
    From the land of the Bluenose.....life is a beach at least till the tide comes in and the Bud is all gone. Swish and dig at the drop of a dime!

    Purdiest coin: 1832 Capped Bust quarter
