Outhouse luck as the jewelry streak continues

From the land of the Bluenose.....Lord love a duck you bouys must think I make these things up but let me tell you I'm not a few herring short of a school. Here goes todays adventure!

Marie arrived home from work and gave me "permission" to go out for a few hours which meant that she wanted some time to relax with me out of her hair.

With that was out the door and down the Old Beaverbank Rd to where there was an old path that leads to a dam. Man was it mucky. Was going after some old coins as I didn't feel up to penny popping today as the "Dominican Rum Revenge " had not completely passed yet and bending down repeatedly could cause some unexpected results.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7da11b3127cce84724354d70900000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

Sloshing through the path I finally reached the dam and lake area which was worth the walk and peaceful too boot. Meandered through the various paths finding just a few targets that turned out to be just pennies so I headed out with plans to hit a local beach on a lake. Opening Goquickski's trunk I was instantly downhearted as I had lost my favourite digging knife having to resort to my backup one. Here it was very muddy and on the second target got an iffey sound but decided to dig it anyways....well son of a sea horse this is what greeted me!<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7da11b3127cce8472436cd73100000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center> Even the old Garrett Freedom 3 Plus is not that good that it could pick the chain up at that depth so I swung again hoping to find a locket or something but did get a signal which turned out to be crushed bottle cap. Pays once in a blue moon to dig a bad signal.

Decided there and then to call it a day and return to where I thought I'd lost my knife. Found a knife alright. Man that thing is a little out of it's area as there is no sugar cane here that needs chopping but maybe something that could be rolled and smoked or used as a prop in a horror movie. Did find my knife as well.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7da11b3127cce84724356d70b00000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

Take for the short hunt was a machette, the chain (markings on clasp are 750 and 1 ar) and 11 coins @twenty cents.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7da11b3127cce8472436b560600000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>
 
Nice find. I've only found one silver chain, no gold yet. but there is always tomorrow.
 
That is an awesome story Les and could only come from the Ol' Bluenose hisself. I have found 8-10 chains over the years and it is no small feat to do so - to mostly eyeball one is a real job. YOU are the man.

The machete is the bees knees, too. I love the incidental finds...I recall a sixpack of cold beer I found once. That was a treat.

Good job Les - say hi to Marie.
 
Some very nice finds Leslie ,in my area find mostly clad and not very much of that either. Great Hunting.
