Simon,

Time to get your beauty rest.

=====
Sorry, if it was a beauty rest I would look 40 years younger and like a Tom, only with both eyes.

Glass of sugar anyone ?

WD,

Lots of battle sites.....are you on the warpath or what....

===========
My thoughts exactly Bill. She pretty much has every area covered. You may be right about that sugar......... I think we were all safer when she was on the rum kick

Orchids are popping right now. I'll take some pics of some bright orange ones tomorrow. Toad stools are popping up too.

======Okay, I am crying "FOUL". It is below 32 degrees here and showing exotic, warm weather flowers must be against TNET rules.

For a moment Bart, I thought you snuck into Tom's yard and found that UFO he has been using all these years. Tom, Mork, Uncle Martin and Alf go way back, ( at least several light years ).

Pretty pics, Bart ! Thanks!

NO they weren't BART.............. please refer to my previous reply.

Those maps were for informative purposes, in case someone would like to know where to go detect. Apparently someone found them useful. I got a “like “ from someone different than the usual crowd. Can’t be all fun and games.

Looked like good info until I went to that site and got all kinds of messages saying this did not work and that did not work. I couldn't get anything to work so I crawled away. An interactive map sounds good.

 

[Simon1]

Folks,
This post has a history and detecting angle to it. I had found 3 or 4 US Navy Artillery buttons in a school yard over the years.

I had read there were military stables in the area and that they used it as a staging area to send horses to Europe during WW1 via barges on the Lachine canal to the port of Montreal.

As it turns out this stable/base area was approx 3,000 acres and 100,000 horses were sent over at that time. They came in from different bases in both Canada and the US.

Here's a picture of one of the buttons and a group photo of some of the troops.

Can you see this smiley
I don't watch sports or care really. But the rabid fans are funny.
Too bad about the army. Maybe they should kept you confined to the base *insert smiley*

There’s more to the story, which I will never tell in detail. But it’s all good. It shaped me and Mr WD into the people we are today. And maybe one of the reasons why we are so involved with the walleyes for wounded heroes.

And no I can’t see a smiley. I see a greater than sign, a colon, and a parenthese. LOL

Just dream about being in the warmth with those flowers.

Cool little bit of history you dug up and shared with us! Thanks!
