Sorry for taking so long guys.
Sometimes plans change.
The plan for the group was to head up to the ghost town of Sandon BC.
But it did not take long to decide that swinging the coil there would be a pain.
Let along trying to dig a target.
So without even getting out of the vehicles it was decided to hunt somewhere else.
We ended up in Slocan City which also has history going back to the gold rush days of the interior.
It was a cool day interspersed with bouts of wicked winds but we all toughed it out.
This is Teresa with her one and only silver find of the hunt a 1918 Canadian dime.
Sadly she and her extremely patient husband Ben had to leave this morning as they had other family commitments to attend to.
Ralph aka GPSnoopy is finally on the board.
This is a very pretty Celtic knot silver pendant that he pulled.
This was not Daniel's proudest moment but he was still basking in the golden moment of the day before.
Micheal had an excellent day.
He talked to one of the many locals who came down to watch the entertainment.
No one in town had seen any one with a detector before and suddenly there were 5 of us digging holes all over the place.
Everyone was just very interested in what we were doing and most gave helpful hints as to where things might be found.
One such fellow at the ripe young age of 87 related stories of crawling under the boardwalk to recover coins.
Once the area was pointed out to Micheal he pulled a few nice ones
My day was a little different form the others.
I found no coins of any value other than gas money.
And there was no jewelry under my coil to save my life.
And as per normal I was digging those overload signals that everyone avoids.
So when I got one more my thoughts were what the heck one more won't hurt.
