I had to make a trip to the Emergency Room yesterday with "Scoop Foot"!!! Too much scooping this past week has left me with one bad hoof. They x-rayed it and nothing is broken in there, but I must have strained or stretched something in ther cuz it hurt REALLY bad. I had to use a cane just to get in the door and then had to be wheeled around in a wheelchair for the exams. Oh the shame of it all!! BCM had to ferry me around to the ER and get my script filled and even fixed dinner for us. That's usually my job, but she stepped up and took care of me. I hope she decides to keep me!! But before that, it had been a great week. Monday was my "Nickles and Nitros" post and Tuesday I headed for a different swim beach to try my luck. I took one of my Excaliburs and the ATP with 5x8 coil rig and planned to hunt with both, just for a little diversity. I started out with the Excal and about an hour into the hunt, this young man came wading over and said he was a detectorist too. He introduced himself (Magnus) to me and I (BCD) to him and he said he was saving up for an AT Pro. I told him I had one over on the beach and asked if he would like to try it out. He happily accepted my offer and after a couple of minutes of instruction, he was off and swinging!! Here he is!!

Within just a few minutes, he had his first find, a nice little cat earring!! There's some irony in there somewhere, me being BCD and him finding a cat earring, or maybe not. Anyway, here's his find, sorry it's blurry.

He's going to be a good detectorist, cuz he hunted for a couple of hours while his siblings and other kids were playing. Most kids lose interest in just a few minutes but he was happy as a pig in slop while he had that ATP in his hands. I never did switch over to the ATP cuz by the time he had to quit hunting, I was pretty much done in. Here's the take for the day!!

The rings and earring are junkers, but rings nonetheless. I cleaned them up a little, just to give them a little dignity before I chunk 'em in with the rest of the junk jewelry.

On my way home, I have to pass one of my favorite BBQ joints, so since it was just a bit past noon, I just had to swing in and get me some great Texas pit BBQ. They just developed a sweet Chipotle sauce that was really good on the brisket. You may begin drooling now!!

Wednesday had me having to ferry on of my kitties over to the vet for a teeth cleaning and then babysiiting the drug crazed feline once she was released after her procedure. I don't know what they give them to put them under but she was bonkers for the rest of the day.
