No obvious holes in the ground, and a few random pokes of the screwdriver didn't produce anything (which wasn't surprising if the cap really is nearly a foot below ground level). 2015-07-06T20:00:00 Found it Tommi Potx SitRep Op Sandpiper, Day 3. BCP577 Burstall A short drive due west of Burstall is CFB Suffield [aka Suffer-field] Canadas' largest military training area., and home of Defense Research Establishment Suffield [DRES]. Heres an event for you: A nuke sim, designed to test ventilation systems in hardened buildings, the 500-Ton event called DIAL PACK was conducted on 23 July 1970 at the Defence Research Establishment Suffield (DRES)- an isolated, 1000 square mile area in Alberta, Canada consisting entirely of barren prairie. It was a completely spherical ball of 32.6 pound blocks of cast TNT. The sphere was nearly 27 feet in diameter or almost as tall as a four story building. The lower third was encased in styrofoam to support it. That and a lot more weird, strange and deadly military stuff goes on that can quite literally, "take your breath away".... [like nerve gas... <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile_sad.gif" border="0" align="middle" />] Never volunteer for temporary duty at DRES!! TFTC!! 2013-07-22T20:00:00 Didn't find it Coolcat21 BCP577 – Burstall When I turned on to the field road about 70 m from this cap's promised ground zero, I was faced with the classic Saskatchewan question: should I go with wheat or canola: which will really pay off in the end? The cap hint suggested that the cap was west of the road so canola it was. I slipped and slid down the wet, muddy road to see if I could make it my cinderella crop. But it was not to be. As mentioned in past logs, there's no marker post anymore so there was no help there. My ground zero put me smack dab in the middle of the road so I concentrated on an area just west of that amongst the waist and belly high canola plants. During my 45 minute metal detecting sessions I got only one beep and in about 3 minutes I was the proud owner of an old iron spike. I shall cherish it always. <img src="/images/icons/icon_smile.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I wouldn't say I was strictly thorough about covering the ground in a logical way. Canola is a tough, sinewy plant and it was challenging to actually get the detector head through it in anywhere near a consistent way. I'd say the time to search for this one would be early spring before whatever crop is in; or late fall after the crop's been taken off. Then you'll just be dealing with stubble. Not all was for naught though. On the way out I found a perfectly good set of pump pliers on the ground near where I parked. Bonus! Thanks for luring me briefly over the line to my native province!

After driving an hour out of our way and searching until it was really dark, we had no luck. We did find a half dozen or so spike with the metal detector. We dug many holes, but could not find the goods. Maybe next time. The marker post is gone and the area is now tilled. 2012-05-13T20:00:00 Didn't find it s.f.g. BCP577-Burstall BGL is right. gonna have to come back one day armed with a truck and a metal detector
