    74 coin spill

    Albeit all coppers was still nice to get quota plus 24 from one hole. Personal best for number of coins in one hole and fastest quota.....under 5 minutes with the Freedom 3 Plus (no# of 2 of 3 Pluses still working)! Hope to repeat that feat on my next UK trip. Here luckily no finds officer...

    Socially, philosophical and fullfilling dig

    0525hrs! Marie gently hollers in my ear asking me am I awake. "No dear I'm not!" "I got a hankering for something" she says! Well she got my interest with that and then says, "Will you make me some corn chowder today." Such is the life of a Bluenoser. 0545hrs and she is off to work while I...

    Navy Davy slicing and dicing....gone beserk!

    Down the highway, to the dirt road, that led to the campground, that was in a field, by a tree strand beside a river. Once again Lloyd had given Navy Davy and I permission (5th year) to hunt his campground. Explained to him we wanted to stay out of the wooded areas as deer season opened last...

    euphoric outing

    A cleansing was required. Not one of the body but of the soul and mind. Day to day stress with it's relentless hounding had to be purged. Digaholics know how to accomplish this. The Freedom 3 Plus was placed in my cars trunk. The parking lot was vacant; or so I thought. Before I could exit...

    Friday.....day off.....oh joy! With the mandatory stop at Rotten Ronny's for coffee and a breakfast sandwich, which I might add that Navy Davy won a free medium fries on the Monopoly game we were off down the highway. Drove to a not so local park that we do once a year. Air was crisp, grass...

    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...

    Invasion of the Pimpkin People

    Neither the rumour or wind of war had reached Windsor. Marie and I hit the park where the Labatt's Brier tokens had been found the other day. Needed to dig up enough coinage to help with the resistance movement in Kentville. It had been invaded and was now occupied by the Pumpkin's Army Group...

    925 "O" with over quota

    Decided at the last minute after picking up my computer at the repair shop to go for a dig. Never ceases to amaze me how the Pro and Freedom 3 end up in the trunk! Altered machines once again starting in one park with the Pro for half the quota and a nice little silver ring then moving on to...

    dug in Nova Scotia...this cannot be real!

    Took advantage of our super nice weather and headed towards Windsor where I planned on a few visitations. First stop was at "Makingholes" who is now retired from the hobby due to health issues. Good to chew the fat. One can tell he still has the desire to get out there if he could. Next on...

    combo dig with a leak

    Started on land with the Freedom 3 Plus and finished in the water with the SeaHunter Mk11. First part of the dig on land was a wet one and had to bag the detector. Second part of the dig in the lake was wetter as my left boot in the chest wadders has a leak. Key, junker ring, pants button and...
