Silver Lining to Canada Trip

[washingtonian]

Hey everyone,

I was in Calgary for work this week and it's one of my goals to find a King George V silver this year. The weather was not nice. It was 6 degrees and snowing this morning.

I chiseled 9 pennies out of the ice in 2 hours at a 1911 permission on Wednesday before giving up. The couple told me I am welcome back any time, I hope I get the chance to take them up on it! It's a beautiful, old home with a big yard.



Checking through security at the airport a glint of silver caught my eye. Lo and behold it's a little 925 polar bear.



Hoping to get out for a short hunt tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have something to show for it!

Good luck and happy hunting.
