Big find, bigger loss

There are no pictures to this log. No sketches, no stick figures, nor diagrams. My 4 years old digital camera is now in critical condition - unable to be resuscitated. I will have to go shopping for another tomorrow.

After dinner we decided to go to a school playground. I started detecting and Mary was digging where I discovered a reading. We pulled up lots of parts of tin cans, foil wrappers and pull tabs. She became tired and refused to dig any further. I traded her hand-shovel for the detector and became to dig at our last location. From that spot I pull up a looney. We moved on and found a penny, then a Casino Niagara token, quarter and another penny to make our total $1.27.

A strong wind settled on us and a dark cloud came looming over the houses, Mary didn't want to quit (since we were now finding money)but I assured her that we had a good detecting day and it was best that we left before the storm hit.

The storm never did hit. We will have to try this again soon

And I'm very sorry to hear about your good 'ol camera.

For a digital camera, is it safe to assume that 4 years is a good run? Especially since you guys are such shutterbugs! I'm still a digital camera newbie..

I think while we are at it, we should get a different detector too. ;o)

TO: ..teacup..

Digital cameras can last a long time. My mom has had hers for several years. I think the humidity adn moisture from all our adventures has gotten the best of it. The old camera still works but sometimes it refuses to boot-up properly.
