From the land of the Bluenose.....4 hours and 23 car lots later I was ready for a dig. Man that sure is stressful looking at autos especial when your knowledge is limited to putting the key in and driving away. Narrowed it down to 6 choices to replace Goquickski in the price range that offers no strain. Brother-in-law Steve will make the selection tomorrow as he is a mechanic plus the fact that if anything goes wrong with it he will be the one doctoring it back to health!

With that taken care of (domestics done before venturing out) it way off to the big tree that I have been hammering since French Dave , Max, the biligual wonder dog and I did the dew there finding all the large coppers.

With a light mist and the fog I felt in my element and merrily swung the old Garrett while daydreaming of a new set of wheels. A loud belltone announced that the hunt was a foot with the first target being a fishing lure. No wonder as I had started the hunt by the deep pool on the river.

After that find it was to the area of the old stone well

to try my luck which proved to be a better move than anything I could do on the dance floor as I managed a few toasty large coppers and this little silver number.

With my Rambo Swinging Combat Jacket weighing a zillion pounds from all the water it soaked up and my feet wetter then a gaspereau swimming up stream it was time to head home but not before I picked up Bud and a dozen of his relatives to help me celebrate this bouy's turning 53! Take for the day was a button,fishing lure, two dewies, the Spanish coin, 3 toasty coppers and 6 clad @ $0.86

Looks to be a "milled pillar" type 1 reale minted in Mexico. The date would be 1747, these were issued from 1732 to 1771. Nice going.
