No April Fool's joke for our birthday boy, Canada Ron.  He found two hammies* today and they were just about the only good stuff found from all of us. Oh yes, CA Sarah found a beautiful silver decorated thimble today.  I found a thimble, too, but it was just plain.

 It was brisk this morning when we drove out at 7:30.  By early afternoon the sun was out and a few us got a little sunburned.  I may have set a new personal best by staying out with the guys and detecting 12 hrs today. Just had time for a hot shower and a beer before dinner and I'm sure that helped the old muscles relax a bit.  Although we had an early start today, we weren't early enough to see the reported Roman soldier ghost that patrols the causeway at Mersea in the wee hours.  I wish he would just tell us where that pot of  Roman gold is.  It sure would make this treasure hunting a lot easier..   The adventure continues...
