gold but alas not an "O"

[Leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose...well after umping 6 games on a most muggy and hot day which got hotter as tempers flared on a few occasions as beer was being consumed this bouy heard that voice in his head saying go to Lake Banook. Man give me a break.....was bone tired but one has to listen to ones self when the chattering begins.

Quick change from the ump garb to the swishing garb and this lad was in the water lickety split. Of course the swish started with the usual bobby pins that I constantly chase and elude me threw the holes in my sieve but a few coins didn't followed by a real surprise...my first gold braclet of the summer. Quit shortly after that and headed home to more deer steak courtesy of French Dave. Marie took an instant liking to the braclet which is now in a jewelery cleaning solution

deer steak sounds good! When it is hot, hit the water!

if you can get one of those sheets of magnetic material - like they make the signs for trucks and vans to stick on their vehicle doors to advertise their companies - cut a section to fit inside the scoop so the iron and bobby pin items cling to it instead of sliding out. Won't work 100 percent of the time but it will probably help alot. If it saves you time, gives you more time to move further along instead of looking for that needle in a watery hay stack.

When I detected a beach it drove me nuts to have those post earrings keep dropping through and even the bobby pins. Even just having some of the magnetic stuff in your back pocket to go over the surface once you realize its probably small and falling through - you can pick em up with the magnetic stuff.

Just a thought. Congrats Marie on your new bracelet
Congrats Leslie on finding the bracelet - just for Marie You are so sweet
