From the land of the Bluenose....well Otto got new rubbers to help practise safe traveling while land baby had her baggy removed as the weather had turned and there was no need to practise safe detecting! Of course there is no safety net for me waking up on the wrong side of the bed after a grueling night shift. None at all. So feeling like I was and not wanting to share it I didn't call Navy Davy for my free hour and a half. Hit a local playing field that after all the rain was half an Olympic swimming pool while the other half was a ring that mud wrestler long for. It was foul....just like me!

The usual assortment of coinage was unearthed along with a dog chain and a Galloway golf egg that failed to hatch this year! Then a very low and unpromising sound emitted from land baby and I said to myself.. "Self what the halibut" and with that settled down into a pool of gunk and dug. Well me son the bad mood was lifted a tad as I pulled out this little number. My first two thoughts were;
1. now I finally get to use the scale I brought from Slickpick Rick
2. hope this fits Marie's finger to replace the one stolen in the Dominican!

With that tucked away in the digging jacket I meander on for a tad more playing "piss off the seagulls dining" till it was time to leave and pick up the boss.

Once home I tried my find on the scale...first victim with more hopefully to follow.

Take for the day was a dog chain, golf egg, rhinestone button, gold ring and 45 coins @ $10.62 added to the "Back to the UK Fund."

The ring did fit and Marie, after some coxing, left it on the finger that was once home to another found gold ring.

That is a nice ring you scored. Also a nice amount of coins you found. I love digging up twoonies and loonies. Congrats! :icon_thumright:

Don't you just love finding the $1 & $2 coins! :o
I can hardly wait until the $5 coin arrives! :icon_thumright:

Cool gold ring Les!

Cheers,
Dave
 
Congrats on a great find! I would put up with some mud for something like that!! Out of curiosity, what is the item in the middle of the right hand vertical row?....it looks something like the old "good luck penny" tokens. (an embossed aluminum ring surrounding the penny)

The Canadian 2 dollar coin, commonly called Toonie, was introduced on February 19, 1996 by Public Works minister Diane Marleau. The Toonie is a bi-metallic coin which bears an image of a polar bear, by Campbellford, Ontario artist Brent Townsend, on the reverse. The obverse, like all other current Canadian coins, has a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. It has the words "ELIZABETH II / D.G. REGINA" in a different typeface from any other Canadian coin; it is also the only coin to consistently bear its issue date on the obverse.

Canada adopted the patented technology to make these coins from Italy. The engineer, and head of the Italian Mint, Dr. Nicola Ielpo, patented the technology of interlocking two metals in coins in 1990.

It costs 16 cents to mint a Toonie, which is estimated to last 20 years. The discontinued two-dollar bill cost six cents to print and, on average, each bill lasted only one year.

I can hardly wait until the $5 coin arrives!

Any gold is groovy, and with diamonds is a Bonus Groove! Keep Mama happy and the whole house is happy! :thumbsup:
 
Hi Leslie

Congrats on a fine ring. I'm sure the seagulls were trying to just keep it for themselves.

And just another reason why I always dig any half decent sounding tone, (no matter what my whining, left knee might be trying to say to me!)


I'm sure Marie is very happy with her new addition. WTG! :thumbsup:


Cheers,

Ralph
 
Nice score on the "hefty" ring.
