Friends (Please don't respond to this post.)

I am a bit embarrassed about how long that last thread has become. That said, it is a nice feeling to read all of your kind words (of course I read them all and responded as best I could) and advice. Today I feel almost as good as I did three or four weeks ago when my back started acting up. I really overdid the treasure hunting in August and that's where my troubles seem to have begun. I'll take a more sensible approach to detecting for the rest of the year, and hopefully I'll be back to posting about my finds soon. Please don't respond to this post and let that other thread die.

Thanks again gang. You all did a lot to elevate my spirits!

PS Please God, no more cop encounters.
