Jist of the article is that you will never get rich detecting and that a very large percentage of detectorists give up the hobby in the first year...................I wish! If anyone knows how to enlarge the photo on this post so that the context can be read....please do so as I am not that computer sauuvy!

Started on land with the Freedom 3 Plus and finished in the water with the SeaHunter Mk11. First part of the dig on land was a wet one and had to bag the detector. Second part of the dig in the lake was wetter as my left boot in the chest wadders has a leak. Key, junker ring, pants button and quota plus 7 added to the fund.

Yesterday saw a major car repair to Marie's Donna May....................ouch.Gets a guy where it hurts....in the wallet.................no joy! Later in the day it was the trunk full of Garretts heading off to a field...........oh joy! Found an angel with the Freedom 111 Plus (2nd one I have found ) with the inscription "Always with you.".............................great some one to dig with when Navy Davy is not around................oh joy! Away went the Freedom 3 Plus and out came the Pro as I started a shoreline and completed quota plus 6......oh joy! Heading home I grabbed a cup of Joe at Tim's and a package of hockey cards with one being this..............................oh joy! Once home I checked the mail with a letter from the government sticking out.......................no joy Was thinking another audit or I owe them some money.......................no joy! Turns out it was a notification that my pension is going up and that I should receive a cheque for retroactive funds...............................pure joy. Joy as this digaholic had spent another day above the earth's underbelly! It was then off to work for a night shift.....................very little joy!

On time I left from the Halifax Robert Stanfield International Airport Heathrow bound with Air Canuck. With boots on the ground it was the usual route by tube and rail where my mate Jim picked me up at the Newark Train Station. 16 days to dig, 16 days off work with the only bad part was 16 days away from the hunny bunny. First full day was spent shopping. Must say my host's driving had improved in my mind.....think I was getting used to it. Told Jim this and his reply was simply, "I drive like I stole it." While cruising the downtown came across this old bouy tending his flower garden. You could tell it was a labour of love. During the stay Jim and I attended a few rallies, did our land while at other times hosted by fellow diggers. Must say this was the nicest find by one of our mates during the whole time. Some of the areas that we dug were just overwhelming as well as endless! While others one was wondering if they were in a time warp or about to be bombed and strifed by a Lancaster ! It was in this last field that I had the crap scared out of me for as I was swinging in the "zone" approaching a little crop of hay when the "Hunny Bunny" jumped out boot scooting it across the field. Only this one had 4 legs not two. The sun set on another day. Jim as always was the perfect host suggesting on a few of the evenings we hit such hot spots as the Clanger, The Tempest and the Wheatsheff. All purveyors of that great brew Guinness. Another day and another field with Jim having the tough choice. Swing the F75 or Deus. No choice on this bouys part as it was the Pro all the way. Jim is shown hear swinging by the old church.............at least I kneeled passing by............twice...jeton followed by a Lizze hammered. Was a day of penance though as the mud and straw stuck to the boots making each step seem like ten. Ben Gay, meds and booze did the trick on the old knackered knees. This two day rally turned out to be a digfiest for Jim and I. Before I knew it the sad but happy day was upon us with the last kick at the cat. This rally taught me the true meaning of dirt fishing as I was almost skunked but managed one copper after digging this up! A few days later was skunked making it the 2nd time in my digging history that I was...both came in the UK. Soul Drop the 1st with this time................... Fakesby I believe that place was called. Highlights of this years finds. Jim had a few goodies which he will post on his sites. For any one heading across the big pond don't think you will walk into every field and find Roman and Saxon goods. You have to earn them. Fields are stinggy....you have to put in your time. Thanks big time to Jimmy K and like Arnold said...."I'll be back!"
