Navy Davy..."Silver Pirate of Nova Scotia"

From the land of the Bluenose......well let me tell you me bouy I'z woke up feeling like "Rusty the Tinman" after a monsson as every joint was stiff as a split cod that has been laying on a rack for a fortnight. Thought I gut up dis morning wit an Orerental as Marie seemed to be on off kilter...um then agin it was me neck that wasn't upright! Thought for a moment youz...still have that in me that I would have to call Marie "ILean!"

Anyway Navy Davy arrives at 8pm driving his boss's auto so I wipe me feet off before gitting inz! Trip to Tim's.....gut to help pay for his latest yacht and I a figuring dat would take about a mere 2,000,000 visits but what the halibut I have all day!

So we are off to Kentville to find Rick and that we do. He was ready to do the dew but where? So we hit a soccer park....football field for the well informed!

Within ten minutes there that Navy Davy bouy he digs up a 925er "O" wid a pair of wrestlers on it and a wad of black tape so dat da ring it don't fall off. Lord love aduck so much for dat ideer youz! Good find and so he goes and finds more. Anyway Rick is not on the level as he was digging away on a slope. We talk with da man who is speed demon mowing da fields which he says takes from the time the sun comes up til the time his wife yells, "Suppers on!" Long time I dink. Even or uneven wid a motorized lawn cutter I'ze would not like that job!

So we move on to a new location where unfortunately 2 bouys froze to death last winter!

Lord Tundering and that it did and somebody dey breoke that big water main in the sky and we wrapped the rascals(we all practise safe detecting) but it a keep on a coming so we hid in da car and drove Rick back to his abode where I got licked.........nice mobile manure maker but not sure of his breed youz!

Where did you get the Edward Groat from?
 

Re: Navy Davy..."Silver Pirate of Nova Scotia"

I think 'Thanks to me bouy ND who gave me a groat bath!' means Navy Davy gave it to him. Nice gift and cool Edward Groat :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
