Yesterday I met up with Navy Davy at the annual Novapex (yearly Nova Scotia Stamp Club show.) ND and I were in heaven with about a dozen dealers selling their wares. Wasn't long before my wallet was emptied precipitating a trip to the nearest ATM which, after a sizable withdrawal left me...

Hunny Bunny and I had a busy day ahead with visitations to both sides of the family which included two big scoffs of food! Was nice to get out of our abode as we had an infestation of rabbits! First stop was at Marie's parents with the big event being the Easter Egg hunt. Shear chaos but cute...

Today was the day. The day that Coinasoras Rex ("C Rex" for short) was taken on his first hunt. He was second generation being handed down by the "Pah" who traded upward with the old going to the eldest son. The Eldest son being me, who had given Nogo Sojo to his better half...club was held...

A day off. Like any other guy there was only one way to spend it after watching a few games on the tube. You got it so it was off to a local playing field. Along the sidelines it was tough going but the rest of the field was pretty soft and very digable. Wasn't long before the bell tones...

Marie was off to her mother's for TV bingo. Phoned Navy Davy and got the latest then purused (cross between patrol and cruised) the metal detecting forums. Got the itch that needed a scratching so into the trunk went the junk. Off to a school yard a.k.a. the "frozen tundra." Mush down to...

Navy Davy gave me a rather unique token the other day on our coffee outing. Depicts the RCMP.Colourful to say the least and my be considered a challenge token like the one next to it. My new winter quest is on the way!

First time I have shown these from my "other addiction." Come on spring so that I can get to the other addiction!

The metal detecting display went well so the local library asked if i could do another exhibit so its cards in April and stamps in Sept. Remember these that came out in the sixties?

Since Navy Davy started the theme of being bored out of his tree on my forum with the compass collection. I'll add my 5 cents worth. Feel free to add your collection to the post or start on anew. Next to dinkies my fav finds are those which pay homage to the "Big Guy." Enjoy. Could use a...

See that some members have them in their signature part and would like to add one. Thanks in advance for the help!

Freedom 3 Plus, a hammer, lesche tool and an hour in the woods around the Dingle in the cold.....priceless. And that is the scoop!

Who! Third one of these I have dug. Who! First ring of the year albeit a junker. Who! First quota of the year . Start of another UK fund. Great to be back in the swing of things with some unseasonable high temperatures thawing the frost down a good 4 inches. Had a cup of joe with Navy...

Thought that folks would like to see the wide variety of dog tags found in this area. Winter way too long already!

My fellow detectorists do not be lulled into a false sense of security. Not to be an alarmist but our great hobby is under siege from numerous directions.. Give this statement some serious thought.Consider the facts; there are more of us, better machines and a dwindling supply of land...

The port-knee-cel was topped off with the flux capacitor running at 1.9 decijewls. The NSSS (Nova Scotia Star Ship) Nogo was ready for its first mission in 2017. Course was laid out for the Cavalier Cluster which was a mere 3 parsecs from home base. Little was known about the Foxtrot Quadrant...

In no particular order here are my 10 fav digs from 2016. Some with Pro and rest with other Garretts. The 70 plus hole....quota in under 5 minutes! Nitro moment but turned out to be a copy! Gold Silver Double silver Uk coins and Roman nail cleaner Uk this and that. Dominican stuff...

0735hrs hit the sack after a long night shift filled with.....nothing! 1118hrs awoke to heavy winds with a smattering of blue skies and unseasonable warm weather. The dig was on......dam sleep.....dam frost. I was pumped and pimped. Added a new tool to my arsenal.....a hammer! Joe.....hard...

Not quite ready to throw in the towel for this year. After trying to find some decent tv to watch to no avail I turned to the machin head pile and sorted through those till the yes got wingy (British definitive stamps that are a real pain to i.d. with all the tagging, bars and different perfs...

The gig was up. Knew that the moment Hunny Bunny made me breakfast. A few moments later she was out the door with my credit card and I with the Garretts. Darn cold out there even though I was triple bagged. Started with the pro on the seashore as it was low tide and hit a few coppers. Wind...

Ground still soft and with the teachers strike averted school yards and playing fields were a no go. This left me relegated to the...woods so out came the Pro with the Freedom 3 Plus staying in the trunk of Nogo Sojo. Hit a 1924 big 5 nickle followed by a dog tag. Actually the woods protected...
