:canadaflag:silver "O" before I go

[Leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose.....you would think that a bouy who spends all his time watching airplanes take off and land would feel at ease knowing that his flight was taking him to the UK across the big pond. Not this one youz. Was so hyper woke up at 0345hrs which is the time I usually go to work on day shifts.

Anyway took Marie to Tim's and dropped her off and did a few errands and drove by the "Jolly Rodger."

Was this a sign ? As it turns out it I just couldn't pass a playground without swinging the old Freedom 3 Plus. Scoffed coins here and there and moaned like a wimp every time I tried to get up from the kneeling position. Was a tad easier to get up after this puppy put a spring in the old knees!

Gave up shortly after this with 38 coins @ $4.11.

Thinking about the flight! Might just have to take a gravel and a Bud before getting on the plane. Special K has us lined up for a 3 day dig the moment I land. It's amazing what a bouy can do with a few Buds and Guinness!

Looking foreward to your posts and pics from the U K Leslie, have a nice trip.

Les.

Just curious and maybe I missed it but how does it work with the detectors over there? Do you take your own or pick up something once arrived? I sure do envy your trip. I spent 5 misguided years over there. Misguided because I didn't have the slightest interest in metal detecting at the time. Two years in Thurso, Scotland and 3 years in Londonderry, Northern Ireland. Even worse, later on I lived 3 years in Spain and one of my neighbors was actually into metal detecting. He gave me an old Roman he'd dug up but since I couldn't clean it (not knowing how at the time), I tossed. Ah, to take it all back!! In any case, have a good trip, all the best, cheers and HH.

Hi Murfar1, if you Google -------- Metal Detecting Holidays in England the sites should give you some idea

of what to expect, not cheap but a good coin / artefact find would more than pay for your holiday.

Shame that you had no interest in metel detecting during those eight years you spent in the U K and Spain.

H H And Stay Safe.
