:canadaflag:Best find question put to rest

[Leslie(nova scotia)]

Looked at the fellow in the mirror and promptly told him where to go. Got tired of arguing with myself....got no reply! Definitely time to head out. With everything still under snow or frozen I headed out to a local park with the Pro riding shotgun.

With a light rain, a dark sky and a happy soul this digaholic was primed. First find was an eyeballer that I didn't need a hand with.
Wondered how it was lost! Felt sort of bad for the Bluenoser that lost it.

The dig continued with a few coppers being lifted out of the permafrost then another eyeballer or should I say eye balled ball?

Go Man U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Put my new found ball to good use. Kicked it and where ever in the halibut it went that is the direction I swung. great pattern for the feeble minded. A few more coins. A few more kicks. This continued till I saw a four legged black patch of steel wool charging. Lord love a duck. The owner quickly put the thing under leash as it continued to growl and bark.

Lady gave a quick apology and began her deluge of questions that I'm sure most of you detectortists have fielded many time.

Then the never fails to be asked question was asked. "What was your best find?" Without hesitation I answered...."My wife." She laughed and stated that without a doubt I my wife had me well trained............um. Was she thinking all men are dogs or that all men have to be trained like dogs. Didn't ask, turned around and headed home with that deep thought lodged in my thick skull! Just another day in the life of a digaholic.

My "Best Find" was found in the tot-lot sand box when I was in kindergarden...1953...and we have been married for 67 years. She still allows me to go and play in the sand...now with my metal detector. Some "Finds" are just PRICELESS!

Things that make a fella go hmmmmm, eh Leslie.
Nice to see you scratch the itch with a snow dig. Neat finds with my eyeballs stuck on that beaver button ? I have the new shaft on the beeper and I'm going to make a wee chart to tape to the brain box. I'll see what it stabilizes out at in Pro Zero with a silver fish, dime, quarter, old ''real'' nickel, a little Georgie five penny and a largie. Should help on the more selective days when my lower back cripples up, which can be early into a swing some days. Supposed to be nice by the end of the week and I am eyeing the AT with anticipation. I will be happy just to hit a few tot lots.

She might have been hoping that you would say.... "you the finest thing I`ve found all day baby".

Been very attentive and awake with your answer, I ... I think
In my last hunting on the beach. A signal. A few feet a stone a little bigger than my head appears. The signal is still there, under the rock that does not move. I decide to dig a side, with more effort than normal. A young boy appears with his girlfriend. He asks - What's that there? And I answered without thinking, "a stone." He looked as surprised. Twisted his nose and turned away as angry ... Hey man, you expected? I love people, always so amazing. I also answer I was looking for a woman like her, but it was
