Being that it is the weekend and the ground has finally thawed a bit, I decided to hit a couple of the local elementary schools to get my MD fix in.

The first 10 signals were all cents and I was getting pretty frustrated when I got a very nice .25 signal and was happy to have something besides a cent. Needless to say when I scraped away the layer of chips I was quite surprised to see gold. Up came a miniature Vancouver Police Badge. I have enlarged the picture and placed a cent beside it for reference. Fortunately I found a few more things besides cents so all in all it was a very good day.

The pendant is nice too. For a second I thought the badge was real. I was thinking "Canadian police have mighty small badges".

Cool finds! ;)

Don't let our Mayor hear you say Canada. I'm in the American Vancouver in Washington, just across the river from Portland Oregon.

I too, thought that the badge was real. Nice job. I bet it was nice to get out and dig. Nice haul for the ground being semi-frozen.

I know its Vancouver, WA. It was a joke because a lot of people think of Vancouver as part of Oregon.

Except for the State Income Tax we might as well be in Oregon. I don't think the rest of the state of Washington knows we exist either ;D

It's a running joke around here about Vancouver being in Portland. Of course we refer to Vancouver BC as the other Vancouver.
