Was watching an ad on TV the other day for Crest toothpaste. The cleanex white challenge. Imagine comparing the whiteness with of your teeth with something you know is going to turn brown. Take about a tasteless ad!

Sunday was a great day for working the cruise ship detail. This time it was the Carnival Venezia with a "working ship" passing by.

Marie and I did the dew with a triple "D" day towards Truro. First stop was a wash out as I had stopped at a school playing field where the students were holding a car wash to raise money for their sports teams. Turned 69 today and sure felt it bending down digging holes. That took care of the first two "D's" and the third dine was at the Chocolate Store. Mister man talk about a sweet attack. Nothing special found and was just a pleasant day with my Hunny Bunny.

FINALLY! Finished off this years set today with minimal cash output. Have every card that Tim's put out to date....why.....really don't know but all the traders will find their way into the pockets of young ones and hockey fans coming off the cruise ships at work. Well like all other years will give 1000 cards out. Best thing about this I can go back to McDonalds coffee and not have to drink Tim's Toilet Bowl Cleaner coffee in order to get cards!

New Detecting reality show in production. It was only a matter of time before a new reality show featuring metal detecting hit the air. The premise for this show is that our anti hero, Dugless is a normal elderly old man trying to balance his job, injuries and honey dew lists. While at work one day he is bitten on the ankle by a pink bunny. Immediately Dugless is morphed into an undead which is the premise of the show and this pilot in production. Unlike the other dead bouys hanging around Dugless does not crave brains. Purgatory is his new reality! He is unaware of the changes till one day at work he takes a face plant banging his head on a building at pier 22 causing his brain to end up in his....well end. The side affects were starting to show. Next day at his other detail his supervisor asks him why he didn't have his cover on to which our hero states that he is recharging his solar panel on the top of his head. The supervisor scratches his and drives off. As the days progress the virus takes further affect with Dugless asking his wife; no begging her for honey dew lists while at work he volunteers for everything and has an uncontrollable swinging of his right arm in an arc. A week later he looses the ability to speak other then two words.."Yes deaarrrrrrrrrrr." The horror! The horror! While this pleases the wife it creates doubt in the minds of Dugless's coworkers who avoid him like the Black Death that plagued London in the last century. As the pilot continues our hero develops other uncharacteristic traits caused by the bite. His swinging of Zen Guru (AT Pro International) became erratic. He was not a fast swinger nor a slow swinger but was now a "halffast swinger." He walked so much that he wore his legs down and now had to bum around. The first dig after the bite was a park where he found a piece of the puzzle but could not place it.(P1) An off and on knob which was in an iron ring had him moving around in circles.(p2) As the dig continued Dugless shook his leg...it fell off. Thank goodness that he had chicken wire in his pocket to reattach his limb. A passerby asked if he could lend a hand catching his dog...he did and the dog fetched it much to the delight of the owner who put a leash on his beast. Poor Dugless. His quest for quota ended when his knees locked and he did not have the key or the WD40 to remedy the problem. So goes the pilot. Hope you enjoyed this preview of the new series which is a cross over from the BBC "The Detectorist and ABC's "Walking Dead." In episode 2 of "The Walking Dead Detectorists" Dugless faces new challenges as his face falls off while his digging buddy Navy Davy finds the road to Sanctuary!

Do not have your hands out for any change that is due for those who have not spent their time wisely!

Spanish silver 1728 and 1781 Wowzer! Navy Davy and I met up with Ryan and Jeff for an outing. First stop netted me a large cent that was toasty to say the least. We left that spot after a half hour as not much was found here. Next spot Ryan pulls out a nice 1917 large cent along with an early Lizzy dime. Navy Davy who braved the deep furrows was rewarded with a silver thimble. Man walking here was hazardous to ones health as there was a few mighty deep holes here caused by the recent plowing. Hitting the third spot was a different beast with tall grass and an incline. Lord love a duck this wanker struggled at this point. Was nice to be hunting for a few oldies instead of quota! Then Zen Guru (AT Pro International) let loose with a solid 72...out popped a 1728 one real. About 5 minutes later another solid signal at 85 and out popped a 1781 2 real. Luck of the swing not skill. My batteries ran out so back to the truck. Out goes the copper tops and in goes 4 Ever ready that for the first second gave me the full array of bars. Two steps later the Every ready became Never ready so I bugged ND for a fresh four pack. Saw Jeff digging in earnest. What the halibut he was so deep that only the handle of his spade was above the hole. Have never witnesses a hole that low that gave up coin...a large copper. Great day with fellow diggers with 3 of us hitting silver.

Visiting my father at the Vet's Camp Hill ( try to get in at least 4 times a week) we chewed the fat drinking the Tim's that I had picked up. Scored 2 packages of hockey cards as well. Hit Conrose park and let me tell you Mister man we have yet another terrorist detectorist loose! Filled in a few holes and removed some dwag poo which counted as my good deed for the day. Two schools later had quota. Lord love a duck was I wet as one after the last coin. 2nd quota of the year. Going to take a few days off now. My new hobby came from today's dig as I'm going to crack the code on the bicycle lock and chain that I found.

Has been a while since ND and I motored down the road. After the mandatory stop for coffee and Tim's Hockey cards we arrived at the park. Fairly busy there with the sun shining and the wind a whipping. Wasn't too long before we hit coins and the moaning and groaning started; not from the swaying trees but from two old farts. After a few hours we were both done in and we headed back to ND's car. Of course like most often happens Navy Davy found a nice religious heart on the way back. Once at the vehicle we did our tally with ND finding his heart and 18 coins while I 38 with most being pennies. After Dave dropped me off I headed to the nearest school to find 12 more coins for my first quota of the year. Took 55 minutes and I was home moaning and groaning to Marie about my knees and shoulder which is a tad sorer after my face plant at work the other day.

Peso Pirate of Puerto Plata 2023 Arriving on the shore of the island it was not long before my first mate (Marie) and I settled into our quarters and I was out the door with Zen Guru (AT Pro). Being gob smacked full of sun tan lotion I must have seemed like a strange creature to the locals. Lasted about 2 hours on this first sortie with about a dozen foreign coins....well they were foreign to me! Returning to the room after this was an experience as every second person asked how I had done. Standard reply of "Found a few coins" was volunteered. The corpus amount of hot water under the show was oh so good. The bed on the other hand was a throw back to the time of Fred Flintstone. Mister Man when I laid upon it there was no bounce, no comfort and no joy. This proved to be a thorn in my side for the 2 week stay. By the third day the routine was set. Sleep. eat and dig. Each morning I would go to the breakfast buffet and get "our" seat by the window where I would watch the world go by with a coffee while awaiting my mate to make her grand entrance. Grub was fit for one...a grub worm that is as everything was tasteless or bland. No mustard, bacon nor decent sausage. Too add to the misery hot sauce for omelets was not to be found. The horror....the horror! Had to wait a few days for calm water before venturing in. Not much that day nor any other in the water. With so much beach to cover that did not present any draw back to my amazement as I meandered here and there in a section each day. Fortune favors the brave as we did three field trips. One to Puerto Plata City, Sousu Beach and the last to Cabarette. Each trip was by public transit which in it's self was an adventure! The drivers were a cross between Mario Andretti and Evil Kanevil. Amazing that they could pack 20 passengers into van the size of the old Volkswagen ones. jammed in like can of sardines big time. Plus side was that each round trip only cost $8 round trip whereas a one way trip from the hotel to the city cost $40 USA. Suppers were the same routine as breakfasts. Got to tell you I would not want to be a chicken in the Dominican Republic as I am sure their life expectancy was a mere 3 weeks! After the first week I was eating soup and bread for each meal as my mate stuck to the pasta grill. Nightly entertainment was a dance fest save for Saturday night when the locals invaded the resort for the weekend. Saturday we were enthralled with a magician who could make just about anything disappear save for my sore shoulder and knee which was comforted by "El Presidantie" now and again. No surprises or great finds on this trip. Just glad to have gone. Glad to be home. Once safely at our abode Marie gave me a trim spending 5 minutes on my head and 20 on my chest and back. Lord love a duck has the woman no pride removing the hair that "moved" to these areas. Will the Peso Pirate of Puerto Plata return next year or will he pillage and plunder some other Caribbean Island?
