Up here in Canada on the 1st of July it's Canada Day - which is a holiday. With that in mind, on Friday, after work, I loaded up my very pregnant wife (twins) and our daughter into the car for a long weekend at the cottage. I took off Monday and Tuesday from work (and Wednesday is the aforementioned holiday) for a nice 5 days off.
Knowing that once those twins are out all detecting as I know it will stop for a year or two, I set the alarm early and left for the half hour down the mountains to a provincial park with a huge beach. With Covid lockdown I didn't expect to find much. It was also my first time in the water with the Nox 800 since I got my waterproof headphones from the Ukraine.
First signal was a titanium wedding band. Fun but worthless. Few coin spills later and I had my first gold. A large two color 14k wedding band. More coins. Another gold (the smaller ring - much heavier and 18k). More coins. Final gold is that horn of plenty looking tiny thing. That fell out of my scoop 3 times before I got it. In 3.5 hours I had $20+ in change, 3 Gold, one titanium and a junker. It was 10am and the beach was filling up a lot so it was time to drive back up to the cottage and have breakfast.
I might get to go back out tomorrow, but if not, I wanted to make this post to thank the ether for a 3 Gold Day. Bringing me to 5 fty.
