"Old Glory" found on a century dig

[Leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose.....had a few hours till it was time to hit the highway for work. We are going to be one constable short tonight so that means a busy night handling more calls.

Low on gas, time and energy I pointed Otto to the nearest park.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7cf35b3127cceb0f5a5207d0000000026108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center> where the life guard was off duty which might have something to do with the fine layer of ice on a few of the surrounding puddles.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7cf35b3127cceb0f5a5227d0200000026108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

Had the place to myself but had to dodge the piles. Not sure if it were Gomer's Pile, Winnie's Pooh or my own as that darn pheasant scared the cod liver oil right out of this bouy!<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7cf35b3127cceb0f5a5167d3600000026108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

Highlight of the day was finding an "Old Glory" pin and two loonies and one twoonie in one hole.........coffee money for tonight.Also managed a 1942 D wheatie , 2 Nederland Antillies coins, two keys and 103 coins @ $8.36<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7cf35b3127cceb0f5a52a7d0a00000026108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

The 'BLUE NOSE'!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow! What memories! I went on that ship when I was 4 years old to a camp for the Summer in N Scotia! I remember cuz I got sick on it too! It's still around? That was about 46 years ago too! Do you know if a camp called CAMP ALDERCLIFF is still around there too? Thanks for the memory. Wow!
