Searching for one thing or in one place can get boring after a while.
And for that reason I change it up quite often.
On Wednesday a trip back to where Daniel and I came up with all of that clad seemed to be in order.
However after an hour and a half of searching only two new dimes sitting on top of the grass together was my reward for that trip.
So a trip back to one of the local favorite spots to finish off the day seemed like a good idea.
Diddly squat was found there except for three pennies and a few pull tabs.
What a totally wasted day that was.
Yesterday I had some time to kill before heading into the barber shop to get sheared for the summer.
There was a slight case of shaggy dog syndrome going on.
And since penny beach was right around the corner it only made sense to give it another try.
Just before the beach a signal stopped me in my tracks.
It is a little worse for wear but another sash buckle is always a welcome site.
When this came out of the muck I knew instantly what it was. 
It is another piece of those sterling cufflinks that I was finding last year. 
After the sheep shearing session a little clad hunting was in order to put some go go juice in the beast.
The recycle bins are making a slow climb back to full. 
There was one interesting item in that last picture.
I had no previous idea that there was any ammunition manufacturing going on in Victoria before this showed up.
"A 1901 Canadian Census entry showing that Henry Short, born march 27,1844 in Ireland immigrated to Canada in 1862 and is shown as a gunmaker in Victoria BC. He dies on March 9, 1902 leaving a widow, Alice, and a daughter and two sons, one of which is also listed as a gunmaker. Shells headstamped by his firm were likely ordered from a major ammunition firm."
