high tech tool added to today's dig

From the land of the Bluenose.....after spending the better part of day #1 off and doing the "Woody Diggit and the Gauntlet of Doom" post it got the old blood a pumping to get out a digging. What the halibut we had one day above freezing so the ground must be soft! Not!

After scanning the metal detecting forums and beating the crap out of a few bouys (and 1 lass) on the Internet Scrabble Club I headed out to the Dollar Store and picked up a pair of lobster red, rubber gloves to go a digging in the tundra. Had it in mind that I would do a park with some ocean frontage that might not be frozen. Well me son I arrived and I thought that I was in the ice age at the Bedford Park as flows were encroaching not only on the shore but up the steps from the shore. Lord love a duck....not even any of those around but a few albino crows were curling on the ice flows with what appeared to be a mussel!

Undaunted I grabbed my gear and went a swinging hoping to halibut that I didn't get a good signal as the ground was harder than trying to get a penny out of a Scotsman!

Man was it hard going on the ice with the sneakers. Not in the park two minutes and the first good old bell tone sounded on the Garrett and I bent down to start the excavation adding a new high tech digging aid to my tool kit....a rock which sort of reminded me of what Fred Flintstone might have used to pacify Willma when he wanted to go out bowling or to the Roc Quarry bar with the bouys.

My pitching arm felt like it had just thrown a double hitter!

Well after 24 coins @ $1.06 and a timer dewy which , although was in the big chill still ticks or whatever it does. Haven't figured out what it is yet except for digital and red!

Got home to an almost empty abode and lots of attitude from Rutgar the Rottweiler who now wants to be know as Rutgar the Russian! Give me a break!

So you were poundin' on the ground with a rock, Leslie? Great mental image, that! :)

I think your electronic gadget is a pedometer, used to measure how far someone walks.
 

Re: high tech tool added to today's dig

That is a pedometer unless I am mistaken


OOps they got the post in before I did.
 

Re: high tech tool added to today's dig

You are strong and stupid brave!! for dealing with the extreme elements in NS!
I'm considering getting a blow torch to thaw the ground where I get a signal...what dya think?!? :D :o
 

Re: high tech tool added to today's dig

I too got the urge to swing on tuesday. I put in 2 hours and beat my digging tool with a rock, after 20 minutes of pounding and digging the rock came loose and offered up a crushed soda can. I dug a few more hits and got 1 sinker and a couple of pieces of wire. when I mangled sinker number 2 because it was so frozen into the ground I called it quits.

3 days over 50 degrees and no ice showing before I go back out again.
 

Re: high tech tool added to today's dig

not sure what visualization would be funnier- the crows curling with a mussel or you beating on the ground with a rock!!!!! glad you got some keepers after all that banging. :)

Hey Leslie, way to brave the elements! Don't look like you have any snow up there...we have 7 plus inches of snow and I ain't gonna dig for pennies in that! At least you got out. :D
