After a gruelling 24 hour sinus, headache toothache bed-rest, I woke up this morning feeling great! So, I grabbed my ACE 250/Large coil + Snowpion Cold Stinger, put them in my Saturn Vue and headed for the hills, well almost. I stopped at Harvey's for breakfast. The temp was to go to about zero, but with the wind blowing, it barely got to minus 5C.
Well kinds feeling on top of the world today, after a great breakfast and blue skies. I had to climb to the top of a hill with Edmonton in the background. Here it is......my home
.
After finding some loot near this area, I headed off to another tundra hill which has had a lot of activity during the last couple of weeks. I got a lot of interference with my ACE 250/large coil. There seemed to be some undergound power lines causing a lot of static, so I switched to the Garrett Gold Scorpion. It was here that I got a strong signal, and a nice gold bracelet appeared as I removed the top 3-4 inches of snow. I bet you I performed at least 6 revolutions on that round bracelet searching the inside for a 10K or 14 K stamp. There were none to be found. I felt that heavy sensation on my chest, the same one that I have experienced several times before when I "thought" that I had found gold. Dang it! Another NITRO today
I hit yet another tundra hill on the way home, and again found several more coins. Well, the winds picked up and my stomach was getting a little growly, so I headed home and counted my loot. Those Loonie-one dollar coins sure add up nicely!
