This past weekend I took a few extra security work shifts to top up my UK trip spending money and ended up at Citadel Hill National Museum in the army museam. A learning experience for sure. Here are a few photos of the place...enjoy. Contest prize and rules listed below. Here is...

Super hot and muggy day again! Hit a soccer field with the Freedom 3 Plus scoring a few goodies and a slew of coppers. Then it was off to the lake to cool down. Darn..........place was closed due to high bacteria count in the water so off to another location....this one open. Into the drink...

Let's be blunt. You! You and yes you! We have all suffered this debilitating disorder. P.W.T.D. (post work traumatic disorder) should not be confused with LSD, Ti Chi, STD or even THC! Symptoms include dropping a file folder with none of the paper work scattering over the floor and while...

Got off at 0530hrs and hooked up with Navy Davy. Been a while since we have gotten out together for a dig. Upon arrival we were a tad sad as all the sand sculptures were decimated! Did the dew scoffing some coins of the realm then headed to another beach. At this location the air was...

After "puruzing" (cross between patrolling and cruising....old police term) the detecting forums to have a gander at the great stuff fellow detectorists had found. Inspired I decided to head out on a combo dig with the Pro for the water and the Freedom 3 Plus for land. Hit a penny rich...

Great day here and Marie was off so a driving (D#1) we went. Of course the Freedom 3 Plus found it's way in the trunk. Stopped an hour later at a park for a break from the nuts on the highway who I swear thought it was the Canadian Grand Pix! Marie watched as I dug(D#2) She caught me during...

putting 132 kms. on Nogo with the Freedom 3 Plus on land and the Pro in the water. Seahunter Mk11 should be back in another week from Dr. Garrett!:shocked04:

After a demanding 12 hour shift I quickly headed home grabbed a pair of swimming trunks, the Pro and headed to a local beach. Man was it hot and humid! Set the pro at pro zero mode, 2 bars down and iron at my lucky number...19. Waist high in the drink I was the recipient of some unwanted...

Monday 1015hrs The light sand slipped through the sieve revealing a shining gold ring. Pocketed it continuing to swish in the water that was like one would expect in a bath tub. Targets scarce but was in the zone after finding my second gold ring in as many swishes. 1100hrs Was that time....to...

After the Hunny Bunny went shopping with her sisters I did the house work. After no one phoned to go digging I visited my dad. After a coffee I headed to a field and dug a few coins. After getting too hot took the Pro for a swim. After finding this I was too sore to continue and headed home...

Contacted the home office and Miss Takemymoney forwarded me to "M".... code name Navy Davy my handler. He had a mission for me but could not tell me as the line may not be secure. By the sounds of it things on the home front were heating up....getting a bit dicey! ND gave me the...

Too excited as Friday my fixed Pro was at the local courier service on my way to work. Was on evening shift so I couldn't take her for a go. Woke up and 0520hrs and put her together and headed to the nearest lake. Worked great and no leaking! Then came the land "trials" and again dead bang...

Thought it only fitting that I hit a few football pitches today in honour of the big Portugal-France game. In my "boot" was the Freedom 3 as I "headed" out to the field which was not "out of bounds." Was an over cast morning with rain threatening. First field was the same on I had done...

Took the Freedom 11 out today for a spin. Stopped at the Scotia Bank to exchange some canuck money to British pounds with the rate of $1.79 per pound. My teller also informed me that the bank will no longer take "dirty" money or dug up change even if it cleaned and rolled. Has to go to the...

Happy birthday Canada which helped fill the wallet as last night shift was at double time and a half! Got up at about 1130 hrs with a full 3 hours sleep . Marie was at work with no real plans formulated for later so I headed out. Darn it was a great day with a few clouds.....no wind...

After doing the flea market thingie and making a few extra "bob" for the UK trip hit a few fields. Then my Freedom 3 crapped out so out came the Seahunter MK11 and into the drink this bouy did frolic. You can see by the second row of finds why I say I'm "hooked" on this hobby. These were found...

Photo tells the story! Freedom 3 humming with 5 over quota @ $9.70 plus the goods above. Count down to Digfest UK 2016 has begun!

Took the Freedom 3 Plus out for a spin. Usual clad till I hit the 1976 dollar...not silver but not an every day type of scoff. I ran out of juice before the Freedom 3 Plus and called it a day without achieving quota. Too tired now to go to the stamp club meeting but lots of football on...
