A nice day under the sun.... sort of !

Today, Luke and I first drove to our club meeting. We weren't a big bunch for the first meeting of the coming cold season. It's okay, the call was a bit at the last minute. Here we are... on the terrace... Okay, I might have tempered with that picture, just to warm up the atmosphere a little

As usual, there were a few prizes to be won... Luc grabbed that nice Book on British pound coins catalog...

After the breakefast / meeting, Luke and I drove away and decided to head for the biggest beach in town. Was wonderring how many swimmers there were there this week. Not a lot I presume... they might have slipped on the ice crust at the shore line

We hunted for a couple of hours under the bright sun ( see ! I didn't lyed on the title!). Only draw back was the minus 10 degrees and the strong winds...

I only managed a few coins and was lucky to grab that nice silver chain :

Very nice hunt.

Nice silver!

The gear kind of reminds me of about 30 years ago when I rode my motorcycles year round. My hair was much longer than now and I would have icicles on the hair that hung out the back side of the helmet. Snow and ice slowed things down just a little. It was a little tough getting enough traction in snow to pull a wheelie, but it could be done. Only by the grace of God did I come through those years alive and in one piece.

Talk about die hards... you guys are making me feel like a wimp. I've been whining about it being 14 degrees F in the deer woods this year and you guys are out there covered with ice.

It's home made. I have a similar one. You need a plastic neck cut from a peanut butter jar for example and the you tie a mesh bag around it. I think Luke baught that bag in a dive shop and he used a pipe joint instead of a jar neck. I wasn't wearing mine because it has worked very hard this year and it need a little repair. This device is very usefull to put finds in without having to open the poutch all the time. I usually put the coins and silver in and the junk in the other poutch. The gold and the chains goes into a zipper pocket in my kellyco bag.
Sorry i dont have a picture on hand, will try to relocate it soon
