50 coin day: Devine dig with backup Garrett

[Leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose....Marie slept in so I headed out with Digger Dan and his lady Patty to do a little shoot and scoot at a local school. Of course the first stop was Tim's for some go go juice and a nice tea biscut.

Had the place to ourselves at the start.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cf30b3127cce8f470d8db0c100000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center> and the dynamic duo started penny popping as I was loading (fresh batteries) up my back up Garrett Freedom 3 Plus that I had purchased from French Dave for just such an occasion.

Everything was perfect for digging and dig we did. Had my quota in less than an hour and added a silver defrocked St. Christopher medal to my growing pile.

Then this weird lady came by and gave me lip about digging holes in the field that kids play in. I was cordial and didn't say what was on my mind...had to step on me tongue big time from retorting. Lord love a duck! The cement area was full of broken glass with garbage and doggie dew galore not too mention the little druggie bags strewn all over the field. Anyway saw her grab her cell phone from the pocket and make a call. Rather then wait to see what happens and to avoid any problems we decided that discrestion was the better part of valour and left even though I know the police would have done nothing...if they ever came!

From there we hit a park and had this to ourselves also and no curious nor upset folks around to distrub our dig.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cf30b3127cce8f470d89b0c500000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

Dan was a real gentleman and dug the holes for Patty. They ended up with about 20 coins><center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cf30b3127cce8f470d8a31f600000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

My take for the day was the 925 St. Christopher medal<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cf30b3127cce8f470276f0a500000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center> and 71 coins @ $4.27<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cf30b3127cce8f470d8bb0c700000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

...I reckon Id've offered the gal to have a dig herself and shown her how I lay back a hole so's no little innocent tyke could get hurt. Of course she would refuse, her kind always does, and I'dve ended up waving at her and smiling until I had a chat with the coppers or she left. I couldnt have caved in so readily. It seems she suffers from the same delusion that all members of the "Nosy Patrol" suffer from:

"We Know Whats Best."

They rarely understand that
A. They don't, and
B. You have the right to enjoy your tax dollars, too.

Besides, "Ol St. Chris was on your side this day.

And another grand day under your belt.

I'd have told her I was doing a geological survey for the government and if she didn't butt out and move on I'd have her arrested for interfering with a government official. I've done that before and it works quite well.
