An army of do gooders.

I"M back.For those of you who missed my impossibly long and boring posts you are in luck.
I was on a three week trip to the interior of BC . Unfortunately the internet there was limited so I have some catch up posts to make later.
Well I made it back from Micheal's safe and sound.
I had the wipers on for 6 hours of the drive.
If it wasn't rain and snow it was pea soup fog and slush. And what do you do after putting on a bit over 1700 kilometers?
Why you go digging of course.
Thankfully the trash was light. But the pouch was definitely getting heavy by the end of the day with a pile of lead. And more pennies than I care to dig on a daily basis.
109+ a 1945 half penny. Yesterday was sort of a three ring circus day for finds.

Oddly I did not take a picture of when found because it was actually on the surface so I didn't give it much thought.
But it is a keeper for sure. I don't think that this one is this old but who knows?

The keepers for the day were kick started by this sweet pin. Getting an exact date for this is hard but it is most likely pre 1933. This one was a surprise find.
It hit the CTX at 12/43 and 12/45 which is in the penny range. It took around 4hrs to make the first silver coin find yesterday.
This was the first and it was an iffy signal.
Hopefully you can see the two rusty nails that were flanking it in the hole.

This sterling tie clasp soon followed. Getting near the end of the day I found this. And just before my knees said no more pennies please enough is enough.
The last keeper of the day popped out.

Excellent finds! Glad to see you back... I missed your posts. It doesn't look like particularly good digging weather in your neck of the woods.

[2ndoldman]

Really beautiful weather here. That ugly snow was in a pass in the Rockies.

Hey Bruce, Nice finds and it's good to see you back to digging. Tell us more about your long road trip Buddy.

[2ndoldman]

Interesting little "Madman with a Box" button up there at the top Bruce. It's memorabilia from the BBC's "Doctor Who" sci-fi series:
