On the fifth day of x-mas my true love found for me....

Santa isn't the only one who is red and white today. Check these pictures out! I guess you still need sunscreen even on an overcast day.

Mary and I both took today off of work. We stopped off at Tim Horton for breakfast and the total came to $7.77 (2 extra-large coffees and 3 cheese croissants... try this yourself). The cashier said, 'This is going to be you lucky day. You should buy a lottery ticket). Mary was excited by this while I remained skeptical.

We decided to head north to do some swimming in a park. Of course we brought our metal detectors and the GPS.When we entered the park but there was no one at the front gate. We drove through to the concession stand to pay admission but were greeted by the beach decorated for a wedding. Girls in blue dresses and men in Hawaiian shirts.

We changed into our swimsuits and headed on to beach with our underwater detector. While we were floating around the wedding photographer asked us to get out of the way because the bride was coming across the lake in a canoe. I'm still worried that our Captain Highliner towels might have remained in the shot.

The lake floor was covered in a black ash like sand that could easily be whisked away with your foot to reveal the bottom without digging. We used our underwater stash container to place our finds in so no one could see what we had.

We must have been in the water for about 3 hours with ducks swimming by, sunfish nibbling our toes and then hiding in the holes we created.

Was this our lucky day? Well... this is what we found.

1 Greek coin, 3 loonies, 7 quarters, 5 dimes, 7 nickels and 12 pennies giving us a total of $5.67 our biggest to date!

Mason jar total is now $21.41 in less than a month)

... but wait.... there's more....

5 RINGS!!!!!

A gold men's wedding band, a women's gold wedding band, a 10k gold ring with cameo, a sterling silver ring with a small diamond and a junk ring that says I love you.

I freaked every time a ring was revealed underwater. I tried to remain calm on the surface not to attract attention. I kept my bathing suit pocket filled with the bottle caps, pull tabs and junk in case anyone asked what we had found.

This was our most excited day yet!!! I can't wait to get out again!!!
