    Beach & Park...

    Today, I did hunt to different spots... First, I went to a small beach on Magog lake Sherbrooke. Did hunt for about an hour, but found nothing very valuable. I did try my 2200 in the shallow water. Found only two pennies and a lot of finishing nails... Swimmers will be safer

    Then I decided to find another spot an I decided to try the Old Fire Station Park in Sherbrooke. Stayed there for an hour an a half... I stoped to lunch with my wife. Again, no silver found, but I dug 25 coins... Another young queen portrait... a 1964 this time. Right era for Canadian silver coins (pre 1968). Still some US coins among the lot...

    Pick up a strong signal, and saw some gold color... Heart stop again... But, was only junk jewelry... 8/

    Tomorrow, I may stop in a small park on my way to home. They are doing some work there... I will try to do like Milco and try that kind of spot... If I'm not too sleepy...


    I'll keep you informed,
