Tonight on the History Channel Read...

Tonight on the History Channel the show "Battle Field Detectives" is coming on. The preview is showing different battles through the years all the way from bow and arrow to guns. The preview also showed them using metal detectors it might be pretty good be sure to check it out. Not sure as to what time. I saw it at the Hospital last night and I had just got a shot of 200mm or cc's of Demerol (spelling?) so I was pretty out of it. I just got home. I can walk again yippie!!!!but still feel like hammered crap, and cant walk to well or sit, so detecting is out of the picture until I feel better or find some drugs that will kill the pain. When I say find, I mean in a legal way, not the RUSH way..Just want to be clear on that. I will never let another orthopedic surgen near my back again. Muscle pain and nerve pain I can stand but when those screws and rod in my verterbrates start to feel like they are moving that pain is too much. Sometimes I will even pass out when the pain gets too bad. So, my advise to all of you here take care of your backs. I know I sound like I am crying, and maybe I am. Please take care of your backs. I am only 33 years old had the surgeries at 32 and I wonder if its worth it at times. I have been shot, broken arms, legs, toes, wrists, fingers, some multiple times as a child. The shooting was a hunting accident with a .22 not to bad. But this! this back of mine is like no pain I have ever had. Its like the worse tooth ache you can imagine multiplied by 10 and goes all the way from your neck to your butt. Anyway thanks for getting this far, I guess I needed to cry a bit thanks. Dont miss the show I want to see what detectors they are using.
 
Hey Ronnie, I don't mind reading your posts no matter what the topic. In fact, it makes me think a little and not take even what I think of the normal things for granted. A fellow Canadian detectorist who comes to these (this) forums lost his father Christmas morning, reading that post also made me think about the big picture. Under the circumstances I hope your holidays have been good.
 
Thanks for your reply when my back went out and I was laid up in the Hospital my Father died as well as that friend of yours who lost his Father. This last year was a terrible year for me, my back operations, the loss of my Father and me not being there to help. Heres a lesson to all of you. Especially those of you who live far away from your family friend or what ever. Take this for what it is worth. Right before my surgery my Father was released from the hospital from throat cancer surgery, which went well. He was suppose to recover. He kept asking, well writing (he could no longer talk) little notes to my mother as to when I was to come home to visit. I was in a lot of pain and kept putting it off because of the doctor. Every week I would get "When are you comming home?" I could have made it one weekend and did not. The next weekend I told them come hell or high water I will be there no matter what. I kept my promise, I got there in time to arrange my Fathers Funneral. That is what still haunts me to this day. The only thing he wanted to do is see his only son. I had to check myself out of the hospital and get home. The night of his death, my Mothers Birthday to top that all off I dreamed of him dying and in that dream he was in pain, terrible pain. My Mother found him at 6:15 am, and as God as my witness I remember waking from that night mare at 6:15. Was that punishment for me putting off the trip to see him? No matter how much my back hurts and operations I have, that pain of not going home when I could have made, and makes my life so differnent than it was a year ago. I think I have read every book on coping, loss, depression there is even seeing a doctor about it. You dont even want to know his diagnossis, self punishment? Just do not take your health or loved ones for granted you hug them every chance you get and for Gods sake if you have a chance to see them do it. God Bless and I hope you all have a very merry and happy New Year
 
Ronnie, If you believe we are here for a reason than you should also believe that everything happens for a reason. Perhaps you are looking at it the wrong way and the dream was to give ya a nudge and say bye. The way I see it there is so much we don't know you just have to try and keep your chin up no matter what happens, something usually much easier preached than practiced. I think 2004 is going to be our year Ronnie!! <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">
 
Boy! I sure hope so, I am going to post this but today with my back killing me I went out in the front yard to test my gound balancing on my Cortes. I have read it takes practice to get that ground balance right. I guess I hit it, I got this crazy signal, Silver coin, zink cent, nickle, but all were at different depths. I could not turn downt that signal it summed out as a good hit so I started digging and I found penny. I ran the detector back over the same hole and was still getting the good signal so I messed around more in the hole and found a 50 cent piece, then a quarter, then another quarter, 10 more pennies. Every one was in the same little hole. I was very pleased. No silver everything was pretty new. But that was my first Half Dollar.
 
Yep thats what it was, So much for that famous war stroy. LOL I guess someone doctored up the story behind it. I was told it came back from WW II from a castle that was blown up. Come to find out its a bottle weight. Thanks for the link, the guy offered to buy it from me, but I would rather keep it. Thanks for your help.
 
Ronnie, kinda weird but true... I just went browse a pic for my msn and I open it up and right away se the pic I posted of the bottle for ya. I thought for sure I had deleted that and even if not have not seen it in many time opening my pics. Really strange considering what you had to say about that phone call. I ain't makin this up either.
C.C.
 
Hey Ronnie consider yourself lucky to find a 50 cent piece.I've been detecting for 15 years pretty often and haven't found nothing bigger than silver quarters.I have found some valuable civil war buttons and King George pennies from the early 1700's but no 50 cents or silver dollars.
