  • I've got wings.

    This is just a short little 2 day post for you folks today.
    On Saturday I was flying solo at an old schoolyard that has been pounded over the years.
    By myself and many others.
    And yet there are still goodies to be found if you take your time.
    The first keeper of the day was another Cost Salish design silver ring. Click image for larger version

ID:	245072 The second, and last, keeper had me thinking that I was chasing big rusty iron.
    I was down about a foot when this finally popped out. Click image for larger version

ID:	245076 Our first location was a bust but the second one was good to both of us.
    I was not getting to many sweet high tones so when an ugly signal happened I said to Jon "it is junk but digging is better than walking".
    How wrong can you get.? Click image for larger version

    The lettering on this pin is more reminiscent to the early WWI era lettering. https://www.google.ca/search?q=raf+p...dAOe0magpWtpM:
    And search as I might I have not been able to find another example with the same bicoloured lettering. Click image for larger version

ID:	245086 I saved the best for last.
    Just before leaving the school on Saturday I ran into a young man.
    He is a high school student named Kai with a passion for detecting.
    He was swinging an old Whites Coinmaster Pro and his pinpointer was not very good.
    I helped him recover a target that he was having difficulties locating.
    It was a 60s penny and it turned out to be his oldest coin find so far.
    He was tickled pink when I reached into my pouch and gave him these. Click image for larger version
