sarkany Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 10/05/2013 3:10 pm My contumacious knee was saying no digging today but I won out and called Navy Davy to do the dew. After the mandatory stop at the golden arch for coffee (swiped ND's monopoly pieces off his cup and won a muffin) the dig was on. First stop was a playing field where we harvested some coins of the realm, got our feet wet and moved on. Next location was a tad drier. Said to myself find silver...and I did! In the tennis court I found the balls to prove it! Cannot figure why someone would open two cans of balls and just leave them on the court! Not to be outdone, Superdave Navy Davy eyeballed a $20 bill. Nerve of the bouy as I offered my silver ring for the $20 only to be flatly denied! We drove off with a near quota experience in our pockets and hit the final destination................made this old Bluenoser ponder; listening and watching a conglomerate of coed college students playing a game of pickup...loving every moment whether they shagged a fly or missed it.....future Major League Baseball players in training! While on the football pitch players feverishly challenged the defense.....future Man you material. All enjoying themselves.....while all I could do is watch. At that moment quota seemed non important but.......the swinging continued. ND approached me and interrupted my youthful flashbacks......he had that grin.......I knew what it meant before he showed me...a 1943 dime and a great flat button with a checkerboard design that just may turn out to be silver! Both ND and I finally gave in and called it a day. Nd with 83 coins. And the Bluenoser's 90 coins. Enough for this post least I drink the second bottle of Sake...heated of course!

nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 10/05/2013 10:53 pm Nice bridge token - when I was in Halifax, I got one from Citadel Coins (they were mixed all throughout that big 5/$1 tub). It's sad that bridge and toll tokens are falling out of use. Here's a couple of my $20 stories: When my mom was walking the dog on the trail behind our old acreage, she found a $20 bill lying on the ground after a storm... but at that point, nobody else in the neighbourhood ever used the trail, and it wasn't hers because she always emptied her pockets at home before walking. Maybe it fell from Heaven... And I found $20 on the walk to a Canada Day festival years ago. It was folded up small enough to look like a cigarette butt, and since I was about 8, it was THE BEST THING EVER. I spent it all at the fair... :) Report this Post to the Staff

MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 10/07/2013 8:20 pm I think he is trying to say, in a polite way, that 90 coins is a good find in the time and generally a metdet doesn't hit the same score that you do. You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys..... Edited by MetDet71 10/08/2013 11:22 am Report this Post to the Staff
