At my limit QUOTA

leslie(nova scotia) · Aug 19, 2026

A dark foreboding black sky littered with dark clouds depicting a phantasmagoria of those who had passed. Over my head a black cloud of worldly blood suckers swarmed waiting for their chance to suck some of my "high octane" blood. After being lunch for a few dozen of them I retreated to Nogo's trunk (boot of the car for you Kippers) and doused myself with deep woods off...take that you flying vampires. Undaunted the dig continued with the heat, sweat and fatigue getting the best of me. The area that I dug had been "attacked" before which was evident by the craters left. Who ever was there before me did not fill in their holes nor detect vey well as 39 coins were extracted from the field. Got tired going to the woods to get fill for some one else's mess!

The weather cleared somewhat so already soaked with sweat Zen Guru went in the trunk and out came Aqua Guru who preformed admiralty in the cooling waters netting a few more coins, magnet, earing, junker and a round frog dewy with the word "potential" on the back.

Refreshed, tired and satisfied that for the 2nd time this year the elusive quota was had! Quota is 50 coins in a day's outing!

Kudos for persisting in the biting drone and crater infested environment! Here west of you and inland biting insects are rare (i saw 3 mosquitos on my last hunt of 2 hours) and it is reasonably cool in the mornings. Maybe you should migrate a bit! However I think our pickin's are poorer. We don't go back quite as far as you do nor have the population.

It all adds up for the battery fund.

That is a lot of recoveries....
Congrats!

No hard frost or sub freezing temps= bugs.
( I quit swatting now that I'm in the house.)

Your sky reads like it was agitated slightly.
