Suffering! It is that time of year when a "digaholic" does just that. Withdrawal is a drag. Philately helps....a bit. Start at "A" for Aden. Up to 'G" for Ghana already. May run out of the alphabet way too soon before the spring thaw. Decided that this morning was a good one to clean up...

Can not believe the mild weather. Got out today again hitting yet another school/playing field. Had to take a screw out of one of my other Freedoms as I had lost yet another earlier in the week. With gas so low this quota filled half a tank of gas. On 12 hour night shifts for the next few...

one could dig quota!

Gas prices are low and the temperature is high. The ground is soft so it was off to a local school/playing field. Kids I think are off till shortly after the new year. The Freedom 3 Plus was the choice for the day. Noticed that once again i had a few screws missing. To be precise the screw...

T'was a few days before Christmas and alone in his abode The Bluenoser sat dreaming about the lost mother lode. Sipping his fresh cup of hot Earl Grey tea Wondering if there was some place that he would rather be. Marie was out shopping making cash registers sing Spending enough money to...

The morning was a washout as the rain thundered down and I had a visit with my witch doctor. Xrays,blood tests, urine samples and prescriptions renewals. Sort of leary when Dr. Seetharamadoo reached for the stool......at least it wasn't mind and the one thing he didn't request a check on...

"Alone again Naturally" was playing on the radio. And there I was. Marie went shopping with her sister.....shocking as this time of year ladies shopping genes are in over drive! As per normal I did the domestics and then headed out. Wasn't till I was at the shore on a very low tide did I...

I was free. Domestic duties done. With no hesitation or interpretation I was out the door. Hit a local area where I know they have summer fairs with the usual rides and games of chance. Out came the Freedom 3 Plus making music to my ears.....the 3 bell tones when you turn it on indicating...

Weather again turned but this time the other way.....darn cold. Met up with Navy Davy at a seaside park. Decided to use the Pro and made a wise choice hitting a 1963 silver quarter. Half way through the dig lost everything on the Pro. The coil wire had come undone. This is a common...

Yes the day was that being unseasonably warm whereas work at the "office" was heated. Needed to cool off and what better way then to swing an incredible machine. Out came my Freedom 3 Plus at a local park. Half hour later with my arm dragging like a first generation Neanderthal out of a tree...

Had to thaw. A few white willies that my Mauritian witch Doctor had prescribed for me did the trick. Chilled I headed to the ball field/playing field in the hood. Word on the street was that the twisted, bent and corroded coppers hung out there. I had my disguise on as a D.U.D. (deep...

The Tv news was dismally. Two Newfoundlanders were found frozen to death in their car at the local drive in. Apparently they had gone to see "Closed for the Season." The weatherman followed with equally bad news...snow was coming. Now that got my attention. Immediately loaded up Nogo with...

Optional soundtrack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0S9e6ITZFw The Bluenoser awoke to a midday darkened room. A day off. He knew what was to come. His bones moaned. The unstoppable urge that could not be purged. Such is the scurge of a digaholic. A quick look out the picture window of...

Seems like a month since the last time Navy Davy and I managed to hook up and go a digging. We headed towards Windsor and stopped at a park just as a light snow began to fall. Undaunted by the white stuff we swung our way to the back side of the park to a chorus of cows making the sounds that...

Looked in the mirror after I awoke from a 13 hour night shift. Lord love a duck I thought I was looking at the idiot box watching a character from "The Walking Dead" or "Nation Z." With this undead I struck up a conversation. "It's raining out!" "So what." "Darn cold too." "Big deal." "The...

Finally getting back on line after I got hacked and shut out of everything. Got all back save for my email(pain in the butt to recover and still trying) and the $140 out of my pocket to get my computer debugged or whatever. Marie left and the Barcley's game was featuring Chelsea and QPR...no...

No mountain goating. No winding through the woods. Just my Freedom 3 Plus, a field, fresh 9 volts....and quota!

Friday night shift was a most unpleasant affair as this bouy was in a tither having lost his wallet on the way to work. Luckily on Saturday after the shift it was found....in the back seat of Nogo. Thanked the Big Guy for that one as to replace health card, driver's license and other cards is...

Once again ventured into the woods looking for a silver instead of the usual quota. After 45 minutes had not had a single signal worth digging. Did pass by about a dozen folks walking their dogs, a few crows, a few squirrels but no signals. Veered off a side path to another that sort of goes...

and a ton of bug bits!
