    Out In The Cold Digging In The Snow -10 C / -12.3 F

    Dug up some more newer coins to go towards my 2026 annual nugget purchase. I spent most of the afternoon detecting with my Garrett Vortex detector in the North Saskatchewan River valley. With a little research, some patience and luck, I got a little closer to my purchase with an additional $3.50.
