Need help with this military find:canadaflag:

[Leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose....another night of sleeping on the airmatress in the living room! Right away I can imagine you folks thinking that Marie had kicked me out of the bed for snorring or letting a "sou'wester' rip but that was not the case. Find it easier on my back sleeping on the floor and easier for Marie who didnt have to put up with my tossing, turning and groans. Heading out tomorrow for xrays and another trip to my "witch doctor" Seetharamado for some more of those mind altering meds.

Must say though my appetite is gone and Marie is now putting me to good use with all the weight I've lost!<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7ce37b3127ccebed8090400d200000026108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center> Have two new part time jobs till the witching night is over; test pilot in a broom factory plus Marie rents me out to haunt houses on the weekends!

Did work and extra shift on my first day off so today I went a digging at a local park that has produced some silver by the old well.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7ce37b3127ccebed8091000c600000026108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center> Found it odd that the leaves on these trees had not changed like the ones outside of my place.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7ce37b3127ccebed8091400c200000026108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

Penny parade started with the first swing of the backup Garrett followed by a pair of kids rings, a couple of foreign coins (Spanish and Nederlands..not old)and a nice hat badge which I could use some help on identifying.

Back started to really bother me so after the above finds and 78 coins @ $3.62 I called it a day.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7ce37b3127ccebed8091600c000000026108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

Of course Marie arrived home from work and wanted me to try on our halloween costumes....sure would like to take a bite out of her for that!<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7ce37b3127ccebed8092800fe00000026108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

Here is a site that shows your badge. It's from the Royal Canadian Army Cadets. Looks like it is from the 50's. It is real nice. I think John-Edmonton got one before.

Nice montage bud. What in the hell did you do to your back? I've been on double strength vicodin for nearly 20 years. They work fairly well. In the past I've gotten so crippled up that I couldn't even sit down so had to stand all day and eat standing up. I could lay flat on my back but had a helluva time getting up. Would have to roll off on the floor on my hands and knees and work my way up to standing. Trying to mount the pot in the bathroom was a scene right out of the Keystone Cops. Sure hope you get better bud. Lousy backs are a royal pain in the rump.
