Bob and Mary get schooled

It was another beautiful day and Mary wanted to go for a hat-trick (metal detect three
days in a row). She wanted to go back to our toboggan hill to scan it one more
time, but I wanted to go somewhere different. I decided we should go to Charles Daily Park. I thought it would be great location with it's own toboggan hill and it is frequented by visitors year round.

We parked and started to scan at the bottom of the hill, then the side finishing off at the top to discover that we had found not one single thing. no garbage, no iron nails... nothing!!!!

It started to rain for some weird reason though it didn't rain anywhere else in the Niagara Region. We scrambled back to the car and came up with a plan 'B'... which was to go to Tim Hortons. I had definitely learned my lesson, that if people frequently go to a spot that you are thinking of going to... chances are someone has already been there with a metal detector.

After picking up coffees we decided to detect a local school. We decided to concentrate on the soccer field since there were children in the playground and we always try to stay away from children. A runner on the track stopped beside us and was interested in our progress. At the time, we had only found two bottle caps and some foil. I showed them to her and she no longer took interest in what we were doing for the rest of the day.

It was another beautiful day in the sun instead of cleaning house eventually netting us another $1.53.
