I still volunteer at the Museum and have got some very good leads to sites.I enjoy working there as a guide and at the present time I'm on the board as a trustee.The Smithsonian Institute has "The Way We Work" Exhibit at the Library in Oxford and I'm working there as a guide on Mondays through January.Remember to take the batteries out of your Sovereign if your not going to detect in the next 4-6 weeks.Got some photos of Oxfords Christmas Parade last week.By the way I'm the guy in the Santa's hat with my arms raised.Happy Hunting Thanks Ron
 
Ron , Looks like your having a ball! Happy Holiday !
 
When i used to field and relic hunt..... nothing beat contacts for good hunting sites. Research and access to an area over looked or not hunted can produce some bucket list finds. GL Ron.....ooooo and thank goodness you werent the guy that had to wear the monkey suit.
 
Dew,I agree contacts speeds up the research.The mascot is from the toy store next door to the museum."The Funky Monkey" Thanks Ron "With out ambition nothing gets started."With out work nothing gets finished" Ralph Waldo Emerson"
 
Tom,just another hobby I got on account of metal detecting. Thanks Ron "With every great invention 50,000 men will lose their livelihood."With in ten years 1/2 million jobs will be created" 1887 Mark Twain"
 
Merry Xmas to you and the family. Thanks for doing a great job here !!

The weather has been absolutely beautiful here for a couple of days. 70's in the afternoon and I finally broke down and had surgery on my arthritic left thumb and finger. Hard splint for at least six weeks. Already wishing I was swinging.

My wife says that she will not do my digging for me.

George, couldn't the doctor have molded a hole in that cast that your scoop handle would fit in? Very inconsiderate of him if you ask me.
 
George,I had surgery on my thumb about three years ago and my doctor explained to me it would take 6 mos to a year for my nerves to heal.At first my whole thumb was numb ,after weeks and months the numbness left and today I'm probably at 95 percent.Just going to take time to mend. Ron
 
Ron so far I do not have any numbness. Could have used a little for a day or two. Surgeon removed one complete joint (Basal Joint) from the thumb and took part of one in finger. Danged arthritis had eaten them. Used tendon from my arm to cushion area where bone was removed. He said that after site heals the PT will help me regain strength in the thumb and finger.

Now I am looking for a youngster to carry my sand scoop.
 
I went to the doctor once a few years back.. He said, "You drive too much and have strangulated hemmerhoids.. you gotta soak them in some warm salty water",

So I left his office and drove 1200 miles down to Florida! Told the Wife it was 'Doctors Orders'..:lmfao:...Hemmerhoids so big I had to strap them into a kid carrier in the passenger side!...(Although it was sort of nice to have somebody to talk to and take advantage of the HOV lanes through Nashville! I just slapped a ball cap and sunglasses on them and cruised right through:thumbup:) Worse thing, the hotels charged me double occupancy thinking I was sharing a room with my Mother In Law, or Lindsay Graham! :rofl: Anyway,

I waded on in that warm salt water waist deep with the detector and left them there floating alongside like a giant japanese jellyfish, completely emptied the beach of all the tourists and I had the whole place to myself!...dragged them along behind me like a floating purple Barney the Dinosaur float toy :rofl: Cured me slick as a whistle! (I think a baby bullshark may have got them) All I know is that warm salt water is a good place to be! I found a couple of pennies and drove back home after a week of warm salt water therapy, got into a party with some young 'Spring Breakers' that decorum and prudence wont allow me to talk about...just suffice to say they liked the cut of my jib, and respected my elder status on the liquor store runs! ...:thumbup:

Yeah, that guy should have molded in a scoop socket for your hand there George! You must have the 'bronze' plan! :rofl:
Gold waits for Nobody!:thumbup: Man up will ya? You still got one good arm! :rofl:
Mud
 
The very last thing that I would ever want to be accused of is sharing a room with Lindsay Graham. Or his "good buddy" John McCain.

Danged Surgeon would not make the splint or dressing out of waterproof materials and would not make it possible to hold the scoop.

Still trying to figure how to escape the eagle eye of my private duty nurse. Since she is retired I am the only one she can try to make follow doctors orders.
