The day we're been waiting for

I woke-up late today. Mary was up at 6:30 excited to try out the new detector but gave me another 2 hours of sleep. We had breakfast at J.J.Kapps which has become out favourite place for a fabulous and cheap breakfast (Super-breakfast - $6.99).





After we went across Ontario Street to the golf store to pick-up tees. These we plan to use to mark where we had scouted out metal until the digger can get there.
These worked out really well and showed up great in the forest.
We decided to use the "treasure map" again to find new homesteads. The first area we picked was bulldozed over and re-enforced concrete junk made finding the old foundation impossible.

We continued to the other homesteads we had found before to give them another sweep in case we miss something with the Fisher 1280X detector. We discriminated against iron which severely cut back on the amount of digging. We did pull up other items that had different metal content.

We found a saw blade, metal stirrup, part of a metal wheel, an angle with bolts, the blade from a ground till as well as mason jar lids, can pull-top, metal brackets and some foil balls that registered as possible gold rings on the detector (Had to at least try)

Now we did find 2 treasure today the we didn't leave behind in the woods. The first is a metal shoe from a doll. The child's initials "V.C." are scraped into the bottom of the shoe.

The second is a lock with a fancy keyhole cover.

Not exactly cold hard cash today but we could always go out again after the rain stopped.
