Met up with Navy Davy for coffee at Tim's. and left with two recent issues of Western and Eastern Treasure mags while all ND got was my schedule for the next few months. He was tied up for the day so off I went solo. Started with a ball field but the cold wind drove me into the woods. Was...

A new day dawned for the digaholic to go frolic and find a few goods There was little doubt he would get out and aimlessly wander in the woods. But first chores had to be done which wasn't much fun as nine the clock did chime Visions of treasure flashed through his head as he made the bed in oh...

After a most pleasant night shift went home and copped a few zees then went and picked up Mike from BC near Stadacona. Now the B.C. Know it doesn't stand for before Christ as the bouy didn't look a day over 48. Being from the east coast which is the greatest coast in the land of Canucks I...

Took Marie out to see the new film "Deadpool" last night. Of course it was cheap night and the movie was entertaining to say the least. Not sure if it was the popcorn or the movie but that night I had some "MARVELously" horrible nightmare that had something to do with a sea of flesh eating...

Met up with Navy Davy this morning for a trip to the flea market and coffee. ND had done it once again. He replaced a lost knob on my old Freedom 3! I have run out of toes and fingers trying to count the number of times ND has fixed one of my old Garretts! Flea market was a bust save for a...

A famous warrior of the world's oceans once said "Dam the torpedoes and full steam ahead' where in recent times a domestic digger said "Dam the housework I'm going digging" invoking the possibility of the wrath of the Hunny Bunny. Today was such a day with a window of opportunity that spanned...

Man who hunts at low tide will get wet if he stays too long. Believe an ancient Chinese philosopher once said that. So I headed out at low tide to Halifax Harbour to get a fix. Sure was great to be swinging the Pro and getting a warm up for April's yearly 2 week romp down on some southern...

After a grueling 2300/0700hrs night shift woke up at 1130hrs and since Marie was out I grabbed the Freedom 3 CDC and went a digging. Got to try out my new lesche that Marie waved her wand and transformed the old one into new one. Nice hour out with a 1968 quarter and few interesting buttons.

Its a crime! Hit two school yards today and at least one quarter of the coins found were on the surface! Kids just have no appreciation for money these days and how hard folks work to get it! Quota was had along with a little silver ring. Surprise find was some bouys credit card which I...

Weather still holding, day off and housework done. The ingredients for a December dig. Out came the pro on the shoreline. Out came the pro on the playing field and once again on the trail around the lake. Out came darkness and homeward bound did this bouy go. :daydream:

Weather is just super with nothing frozen yet. Took the Pro for a walk in the woods, a walk in the park and a walk on a beach. Just delightful to be getting out this time of year even though quota was not made.

Started the day with the F3P thinking quota at a local playing field. Usual coinage popped up and decided half way through that a woods walk was in order. Hit the area where I dug up the two 1800's coppers the other day. Was rather in the zone being December with the weather not chilling nor...

Thought I'd for go quota and the F3P and take the Pro for a spin in the woods. Just one of those days that a walk in the woods with a light rain was what this bouy needed. Hit a few old coppers and dodads. Great to be able to still get out this time of year. :)

T'was a few weeks til Christmas and all through the house The only thing moving was an old digging louse. Doing his housework in green PJ Grinch apparel While singing off key an old Christmas carol. With only a few hours of sunlight to dig up some cash The Bluenoser picked up his detectors and...

At one time coins were made only from gold or silver. Then came coppers, zinc and other alloys. Then came Prime Minister Harper who stopped production of our pennies and saved a little over a million a year that could be used wisely to support his party's parties, senators expense budgets and...

Was going stir crazy so I headed out on a day that was rather dismissal with it being cold and raining at the same time. Thought I would give the Freedom 3 CDC a run bagged up in a nice Glad. Hit a few pennies and large denomination coins..........the rain stopped. The F3CDC was working well...

No extra shifts so I headed out to Lake Echo Echo Echo to visit a bud. Nogo got a fee car wash as the rain was really coming down hard. On the bright side one doesn't have to shovel, shovel shovel rain. Had a coffee and chat and it was off to a playing field. Got wet quickly quickly quickly...
