A day to be cherished. A day off......but not free from errands. Nogo was running smoothly after having a new tye rod installed which was fortunately covered by warranty, oil change (free with one more left) and a tank full of high test........could use some of that myself! One less worry...

Headed out to the flea markets with Navy Davy and emptied my wallet on a few Tim Horton's hockey cards and a couple of Christmas presents. ND had domestics so I headed out to a playing field on a most chilly day. Freedom 3 Plus didn't like the cold so the Pro was used. Nothing out of the...

Was approached by the head of our local library and put this together. :envious:

The plan was to meet Navy Davy at 1100hrs along the Bedford Basin. Got up early and started with the Freedom Plus 3 at a school playing field picking up some clad and a small silver ring. The appointed time came and I drove Nogo to the Bedford Basin and hooked up with Navy Davy. Wind was a...

Got out for a tad with Navy Davy. Swung the Pro today and gave the F3P a rest. ND scored a pair of modern silvers and a NS token. Managed a 1920 five cent piece and a button of unknown origin ....does have a shank on it and any help on th id would be appreciated. Finally got around to...

No varoom! No putting the pedal to the metal. Just a soft purr came from the exhaust as Nogo lined up at the starting line en route to a dig. The flag lowered and I was off like a herd of turtles on the first lap of the hunt. Pit stop....Nogo needed gas. Pit stop I needed some mud with the...

Headed out by my lonesome and Navy Davy was busy being a social butter fly with his fellow retired sailors. Had in my mind a trip up the south shore to see if I could score some of those dammed Tim Horton's hockey cards but was thwarted all the way up to this little community! All I got at...

Got a mid morning start which was not the norm of our early outings. Still a chill in the air and some very ugly looking white stuff coming from the heavens. ND managed quota, 1913 fish scale silver five cent piece in a most excellent state, as well as having a nitro moment with an eyeballed...

Optional soundtrack for post. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CTYymbbEL4 ON THE ROAD AGAIN with Nogo Sojo not going like a BAT OUT OF HELL. I was not DRIVING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS but to PENNY LANE off ABBEY ROAD to dig clad. At the very least digging up LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS! CRAZY...

walk in the park!

Navy Davy and I hit a closed provincial park yesterday at midday. About 45 minutes into the dig ND calls me over. Knew right away he had hit something or other nice which turned out to be a silver ring. Hour later we called it a day and ND dropped me off. Not having quota I went into my...

Pouring down rain so after one coin I headed home. 1873 Newfoundland silver 5 cent piece. Should clean up okay.

Nice time out at a park with Navy Davy . No quota but did manage a few off the wall items. ND finished with 31 coins. Took the Pro for todays walk and gave the F3P a rest. Few cents added to the "Back to the Uk Fund." A little shut eye is order before the night shift.....oh joy!

Hit a school playground code named U.N. Field at midday once the weather had cleared yesterday. ND was immediately besieged by children no thanks to my suggestion to them that he was digging up all kinds of nifty things. Half a quota later and ND had to bug out as he had a rack of ribs waiting...

Called Navy Davy early in the morning with the rain beating down heavily. We decided to wait a tad and see if it would clear up. He called back later saying that his wife and he were going out. The rain continued. Marie went to her mother's so I grabbed the F3P and headed out to a tot lot...

Last night was our annual awards dinner. Lucky enough to receive this nice service award and too boot won a nice door prize. Nice to some of the bouys from the other sites .

The flight to the Uk via Air Canada went rather smoothly and I even noticed an airline stewardess smile once! Jim picked me up at Newark which made it a four type of transportation day.....Halifax to Heathrow by air, Heathrow to Kings Crossing via the "tube," Kings Crossing to Newark via train...

Once again my mate is hosting and putting up with me for two weeks of debuachery and digging! Going to do the dew at a few rallies, with a few clubs and on some land that Jim and I have. Looking forward to trying the new Guinness light from the tap.:drool: Of course will miss the Hunny Bunny!

If you have ever read any of my previous posts you will know that I take a certain amount of literary liberty to enhance the enjoyment of the outing. I enjoy writing about a dig just as much as doing it. All the items in a post are either found or eyeballed while out on a hunt. Incidents did...

These are a few of my personnal favs . Taken while digging! Enjoy! The "Dingle" as locals know it is actually named after Sir Stanford Fleming (worth a Google) This is Lake Banook which was lowered for the World Paddling Championships. Was a field day! The popular beach in my home town of...
