    The Friendly Giant

    For those of you who are Canadians, you'll probably remember the Friendly Giant as a kids show that ran on CBC television for practically forever. The show always opened to the sound of 'Green Sleeves' with farm animals on a scale model farm in the valley and the model of a castle up on the...

    BDA's got Rock Fever! and Needs Your Advice on Where's a Good, Detectorist Friendly, Vacation Destination???

    Since my trip to Mexico in February, I've only managed 3 days off this island of Bermuda. It's a beautiful island but it's only 23 sq. mi. and after awhile everybody gets 'Rock Fever'. You've just got to get off this Rock!:crazy::ranting::puke: Friends have asked us to visit them on the island...

    Finally got out again.:clap: Found an extra large 14k!:cool:

    Work has been driving me crazy lately. I decided to stop at Horseshoe Bay for a spin on may way in to check on the job this morning and I'm glad I did. The camera batteries were dead this morning so just the nut for pics today. The beach was spongy and soft when I arrived at Horseshoe Bay...

    Bermuda - Only 23 square miles but eventually you get to see everything here!:biggrin:

    Lately, the view out of my office window looks like this. [attachment 66288 P8230002.JPG] The Farley Mowatt is a Green Peace vessel that pulled into harbour a few days ago and anchored off of my construction site. She's been flying a huge Jolly Roger from her bow and a French flag from her...

    Why I didn't go to Surf Church this Sunday.:detecting::nono::cool::thumbup:

    I was getting my gear together to catch the low tide at Horseshoe Bay on Sunday as a good pirate should when I got the Call. My mate Glenn called to say that there was a bunch of his mates going out to the Blue Cuts for some snorkelling and spearfishing and would the Princess and I like to come...

    Took the Kayak and the Excal out for a Spin this AM.

    I was up before dawn to catch the low tide at Horseshoe Bay this morning. I went through my morning routine, let the dog out, make some coffee and feed the dog, now lets go hunting! I was half way to Horseshoe in the little red car 'Toenail' when my cellphone rings. The Princess is sick today...

    When your work day is Crap, Nothing soothes a Pirate's Soul like a bit of Water Hunting!:detecting::cool:

    I had a nasty work day today which I won't go into but I found the cure for my frustration by stopping at Horseshoe Bay on the way home from work. I hit the water so angry that I was surprised that the water didn't boil up around me. Lots of donators on the beach and a heavy swell with...

    A bit of maritime history in the scoop.

    I did a spin at high tide for a change and found very little (clad and a 925 toering, whoopee!). I did run into Mark and another hunter who didn't get to hunt because his NiCad battery on his Excal died after less than a year!, Bummer. [attachment 65529 P8120010.JPG] (what's with the pirate...

    The last day of cup match and a little more gold for BDA.:thumbup::thumbdown::cool:

    I decided to see what the revellers had left for me to find in the waters of Horseshoe Bay this AM. It was overcast with occassional light showers but no big deal when you're in the water and wet anyways. The beach was quiet when I arrived at 7:30 to catch low tide at 7:58. [attachment...

    Decided to focus on older finds instead of gold this morning.:detecting:

    I went to Mangrove Bay this AM for a little in the water relic hunting. I just wanted a change from the tourist beaches and the search for bling bling. Mangrove Bay is located in Somerset, Bermuda and the old british regiment had there barracks there. I've hunted this beach numerous times and...

    IT'S CUP MATCH! 3 RINGS!:thumbup:

    Cup Match is like Christmas in August for Bermudians, ONLY BIGGER! What this means to an expat worker like myself is 4 days off work. I hit Horseshoe Bay 3 times so far, after work on Wednesday, Thursday morning and this morning. 3 hunts = 3 rings; 2 10k class rings and a sterling Eagle ring...

    :bouncy:There's a New Pirate in the Water!:detecting::thumbup::usaflag::thumbup:

    ERIK, who post here occassionally but is usually found on the Explorer Forum is down for a visit in Bermuda with his lovely wife, Elaine. He did a little dry sanding on his first few days in Bermuda and did pretty, darn good with a 925 St. Christopher medallion and chain, plus a possible old...

    Busy, Busy, Busy but finally got out for a spin and found a 22K FAT BOY!:super:

    Between work, a friend's birthday party, a company golf tourney and Erik in visiting from New Jersey; I didn't get much hunting in this weekend. So I headed down to Horseshoe Bay tonight after work to see if the Surf God had coughed up a platinum ring. Who do you think walks up to me in the...

    Antique Crucifix Find - Need help with dating it??

    I found this old crucifix, heavily encrusted with rust and coral sand at a beach in Bermuda. This is an old, military beach that is rarely used anymore but saw a lot of use in the 1800's. This is the thickest encrustation of coral sand over gold that I've seen and based on the accumulation I...

    My New Personal Best!!:super::cool::cool::cool:

    I was out at a benefit party last night and didn't get in until very late so I almost missed surf church this morning. I managed to drag myself out of bed in time to catch the tail end of the low tide. I knew Horseshoe Bay would be a waste of time so I decided to go for old instead of gold and...

    Horseshoe Bay is heavily sanded in, today. Platinum hunt suspended until it clears.:thumbdown:

    I got skunked at Horseshoe Bay this morning. I arrived at the beach to find Mark swinging away already but I doubt he found much. He certainly didn't find the platinum because he would have shown it to me before he left, Great Guy! The surf was eerily quiet this morning, just a couple of...

    No Kind of Day to be Hunting for Platinum, 18k is good though!:thumbup:

    I stopped by Horseshoe Bay on the way home from work today to check conditions at the beach where the platinum band was lost. Rip Tide warning was still in effect so I decided that this ring wasn't worth risking my skin over it. I headed home to the Princess who informed me that dinner was an...

    What a difference 24 hours can make.:sadwalk:

    Gave the search for the missing platinum band another go this evening after work. I arrived at low tide and headed right for the deep stuff and started swinging, surf was still pretty rough but not as bad as last night. My second target was a pretty little ring with mother of pearl inlay. I...

    I went looking for Platinum after work but wound up with Gold and Silver instead.

    A big squall moved through last night and the wind swung around to the NE so I decided conditions would be good for another stab at finding the lost platinum band. I got in the water at 1740 and it was a little bricky to say the least. The surge wasn't too bad but you had to keep your head up...
