From the land of the Bluenose.....after a trip into the hospital with Marie to see her specialist we both left feeling better!

With only a week until we are on vacation in Puerto Plata I was a tad antsy so Marie cut me loose for a few hours as she and her sister went out shopping and for a quick tanning session.

Day before payday and Otto was running on fumes so I stayed close to home and hit a local park...one with a great view!

A few folks around enjoying the great warm day which made the soil ripe for making holes which I did at a most rapid pace while admiring my surroundings to the left

Was using a new hunting knife that I bought three of for $10 and should have known! On coin number 65 the "Made in China" knife broke in two. Darn just getting into the groove at that point and didn't have a backup digger so that put a kabash on digging my first century of the year!

Next dig I'll bring my old faithful knife that has served me well but like me is getting a tad dull in it's old age.

Driving out the road just had to stop and take a photo of this beauty who seems to be following me on digs.

Take for the day was 65 coins at an even $4 and a Bedford School pin.

nice group of coins and as the saying goes, you get what you pay for, i went bargain on knives and got tired of buying them every few weeks so bought a nice one. bigrig
 
Whew, Leslie! I thought I was going to read that you broke your detector! :D But I guess a detector isn't of much use without the digger! :P :D

Congrats on those finds! Hope you and Marie have a wonderful vacation! Take lots of pics!!

Good haul.

I keep a back-up digger in the car. In fact, I have two back-up diggers and two shovels (one is a mud/snow flat nose I keep in the car at all times for emergencies).
 
Hi Leslie

Nice bunch of coins.

I had the same problem with digging tools and finally broke down and bought a Lesche and it seems that it will take a lot to break it. Cutting edges on both sides and one side is serrated plus there is a slight cone shape to it for added strength.

That is a lovely place you are detecting and i hope you find a lot more goodies waiting there to be discovered.

Thanks for sharing with us.
