    GOLDEN. 18k Gold that is![attachment 88490 P4240011.JPG] My hunting time has been severely curtailed while I get things up and running at the new company.

    The Hunter's Lodge Part 3 - Repost

    It's taken me a while to get the ending of this tale out and into print. I've reposted part 3 so you can refresh your memory. When I was in my 18th year a buddy and I booked a trip with some members of our school to Sugar Bush, Vermont, to go skiing. Everyone else was taking a charter bus but...

    Mel - The Rat Killer

    The first big commercial job I worked on as an apprentice carpenter was a retail mall in Toronto, Canada. This was back in the 70's and I was impressed with all of the heavy equipment and the experienced trades I was now working with and how everything was so much bigger and complicated than...

    The First Snow - Finale

    The three of us stood there gaping at each other in disbelief at what we had just done, Dougy even looked back over the steel railing just to make sure he hadn't imagined it and we all looked with him.:confused: Where the nice round pile of the snowbomb impact should have been was black asphalt...

    The First Snow - Part III

    It was fairly easy pushing the 2 foot snowball up the base of the railway embankment but the grade quickly got steeper and we were picking up more wet snow every inch of the way. After the first 20 feet the snowball looked more like a snow wheel and was almost 3 feet across and we still had...

    Unlucky in the Hunt - Lucky in Cards!:thumbup:

    I got out for a poor Surf Church yesterday. No Gold and No Silver.:thumbdown: The best find was a British Pound coin with a palm sprouting out of a crown on the obverse. [attachment 84007 P3160008.JPG] Fortunately, I went to a Mate's BBQ in the afternoon and as the sun was setting he pulled...

    First Snow - Part II:thumbup:

    It was 4 blocks from my house to Rock Hill and we hustled along pulling our sleds behind us as it was already 4pm so we only had a couple of hours before the streetlights came on. All of us had better be home before those streetlights came on or there would be hell to pay from our parents and...

    The First Snow Part I

    I grew up in the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. One thing all of the kids looked forward to was the first big dump of snow, hopefully big enough that the schools would be closed but just a big snowfall would do. There's so much fun you can have as a kid when that first big snowfall hits...

    The Whites Discriminating PI Detector moves ever closer to release.:thumbup:

    The question is 'Will Whites have the sense to make a water proof version and capture the Surf Pirate market, or will they just settle for prospecting and relic hunting? Let's hope they figure out how much of a market we can be to them...

    A Little Gold in My Scoop Today - This One's a Gusher

    My Princess came down with some sort of virus on Sunday and has been at home sick ever since while I play Florence Nightingale. Hopefully, she'll be on the mend soon as I have to get back to work tomorrow. After putting her to bed for her nap this afternoon I slipped into my wetsuit and headed...

    What Could Be Worse Than a Pulltab? - - - These Bloody Things!:veryangry:

    I've been hunting one of the old beaches at the Luxury Hotel next door. This beach is on a sheltered bay but when a CAT 4 or 5 Hurricane blows through, what's really sheltered?? Lots of boats have pulled free of their moorings in these hurricanes and been tossed up onto this beach and smashed...

    The Pirate Apprentice's 3rd Hunt

    I got a call from my Pirate's Apprentice, Chris at 12:30 today. "Could we still go hunting this afternoon", he asked. He was supposed to call me this morning but had been out with some of his mates until 4:30 drinking and sounds badly hungover.(Ah, to be 30 again) I'd been busy all morning...

    I hit 3 South Shore Beaches in 4 hours, Wet and Dry Sand Only.

    I decided to try something different today, only wet and dry sand - NO WATER! Those of you who know me know that I am most at home in the Mine but today I decided to change my approach and it paid off pretty well. I hit Elbow Beach on the South Shore at 1pm this afternoon for the start of my...

    I decided to take the ACE250 down to a beach on the far side of Cambridge Beaches this afternoon.(this is one of the private beaches I gained access to by helping the hotel find a guest's lost wedding band) I didn't feel like suiting up in my wetsuit today and I had to do some repair work on the...

    I've a got problem with my Excal.:thumbdown:

    The last few hunts I've noticed that when I exit the surf and hit the wet sand my Excal starts to false with each swing until the coil has shed most of the water on it. This lasts for about 30 seconds and then the unit is fine. I'm worried that I may have a leak in the coil connection. Has...
