From the land of the Bluenose....well after a good snooze and waking up at noon to the searing heat that was permeating the bedroom it was evident the day was made for a water swish so off to a local lake for a quick dig. This particular lake I had visited a mere two weeks earlier and upon my arrival found the place so crowded that I was hard pressed to find a spot even to put a towel down. Unlike the previous days swish the folks here are used to seeing me and hardly gave me a sideways glance which was fine by me. After the slight scorching I took from the sun the other day this time I donned my prized Garrett hat which Andy Eh had given me along with a shirt to avoid seeing some of what had come into the emergency department the other day..........man o man there was some sorry souls coming in with welts, redness and weeping burns from not wearing protection from the sun's rays. Marie having a bout of skin cancer a few years back is an advocate of sun screen and such...can't say I blame her after what she went through. (Just thank the Lord we found it early!)
Wasn't long before I was finding a few coins even though it was evident that another digger had been there (probably Arnie from the description of my life guard informants) by the huge holes on the lake bottom. Had only an hour so made the most of it finding $3.55 in change, an earring and last but not least a nice heavy 925 ring. The usual "dangerous items" where given to the life guard to despose of and away I went home...not shaken, not stirred nor toasty and burnt but with enough change for a pair of Tim's.
