From the land of the Bluenose....was one of those days where the wind would rip right through you. In other wordss a good day to detect.

Left early after making the boss breakfast in bed and hit a few places in Halifax. The first school yard I hit yielded 50 coins in no time flat so I thought I'd wander down to one of the old spots that I have hammered for years along the far side of the harbour. Here the first target turned out to be a musket ball and the second...............made my heart stop. Not quite sure if it is Spanish or French but mister man was the old ticker a pumping!<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cc23b3127cce8f94f880a5ef00000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

Carefully cleaned her off a bit and took a few photos of her on the hood of Goquicksi when still shaking, returned from the path. Here is one side.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cc23b3127cce8f94f88aa5e500000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

And here is the other.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cc23b3127cce8f94f888a5e700000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

>:( Craps! and I thaught you had some thing that might be not listed and rare :'(
 
Wow, I was so excited for you and then I read down the page further and oh... bummer. It had to be exciting though and that counts in my book. It seems that maybe half of the great finds we initially dig, turn out to be bummers, but that is part of this great hobby. You just never know what will come out of the ground next. Just keep getting out and hitting it hard and the treasures will come. I know how you feel. This summer I dug a large spanish gold repo piece and I almost peed when it first came out of the ground. Oh well :)

Great posting as usual, enjoyed it a lot!!

Smiles!

I get excited when I dig a piece of gold tin foil! :D
 
Wow Les you had me going on that one till I read the part about it coming from a game. Bummer! It's good to see the weather is holding for you though.
