This week has been a ton of fun.
Two out of town friends both decided to stop by at the same time.
Ralph (all the way from Grand Prairie Alberta) had been to the Fraser Valley treasure hunt.
He picked up a brand new CZ21 from one of the site sponsors while he was there.
And since he had packed his new scoop in the van,
what better way to break both in than a couple of different beach hunts on the island.
Here he is trying out both for the very first time.
This beach has been picked over may times before but there is always something left to find.
My trash haul was small. And so was my supposed keeper pile. As the tide was starting to come in on the coast it was time to head inland for a beach hunt of a different kind.
Ralph wanted to try hunting in the Gorge and what better place to take him than Penny Beach.
The very first thing we did was stop off at my pantry.
And he couldn't get enough of these blackberries.
I caught him sneaking out of the water at least 5 times to hit the bush.
Detecting in the primordial soup of the Gorge can be extremely challenging,
even when the water is less than 2 feet deep.
The stirred up muck is so thick that you might as well try detecting with your eyes closed.
Here is the take for the two of us that afternoon and my cleaned up bits from earlier in the day.
There was nothing very special for the day but it was a fun day none the less.
A pewter broach or pendant piece. A gold plated copper ring. A worn 47 quarter.
