Well the day started out great! EmeraldEyes and I went down to CWB this morning feeling on top of the world. I walked onto the sand and found a little bit of change right away. EmeraldEyes found an earring and some change. Not bad, not bad at all. Then I found an earring "peace" almost looks like it could go with the "peace" pendant I found the other day. It's junk but still pretty.

I went around the guard tower and - what's this I see in the sand?????

Twenty dollar bill! WOW

We were almost to pier 60 in front of the Hilton Hotel. I saw several other MD'ers out and walked over to say hello to Gene who then told me his wife was hunting also only for the second time so I walked over to introduce myself and say hello to her. As I was talking to her I looked up and......... my daughter was lying in the sand face down. I ran over to her and she was unresponsive but one eye was open but rolled back in her head. The other was caked full of sand. A passer by called 911 on her cell phone and the beach rescue was out there very quickly. An ambulance was called and my daughter was transported to the hospital. Meanwhile I had all my equipment plus hers to try to get back to my car which of course was not nearby. One of the hotel employees suggested that I go with him to the hotel and they would keep my equipment at the valet station while I went and got my car. I was a little afraid to leave it because there is so much money tied up in it but he assured me that they would watch over it for me. So I took him up on his offer. I put the equipment by there desk and started to walk away and quickly remembered that the key to my car was tied onto my detector. Thank heavens I remembered it then and not when I had walked back to my car! I have a hard time walking on dry land. That would have been awful. Anyway I remembered. As I was walking back to my car, worried but ever looking, I spied a necklace lying near the curb. It looked like part of it had been run over and it was broken so I can't tell what part of it is but it is clear that it is junk. Oh well the hunting part of the day was good.

Well, they've done several tests on EmeraldEyes and her BP is so high that they are concerned about a stroke so they are keeping her in the hospital for observation at least over night. Hopefully they will be able to figure what the problem is. She is ok and is being given good care. So gng's that was our day.

I have one other thing to say. All of the people that stopped to help were wonderful. The employees of the Hilton were absolutely wonderful and I will be writing a commendation letter to the head of the Hilton.

Hopefully she is out hunting with you soon.

I was horrified to hear about your excursion today and what happened to your daughter. I hope she will be up and out hunting again real soon.

Bet that was a long ride home for you today!

Oh my goodness Mumszie!!! Well our prayers go out to your daughters quick recovery. She wasn't grasping a 2 carat diamond in her hand was she, cause the day I do they'll probably find me in that same position... (Just trying to add some laughter mums.) And here you are trying to get to your car and your still eyeballing necklaces... Now that's a true TH'er. God bless, and keep us posted.

Best Wishes to your daughter, Mumszie.

Scary situation, especially for a mom to see her daughter like that. I'm hoping everything turns out good and she is back out there finding diamond rings with you real soon.

Well no news is good news or so they say. So far they won't tell us anything about any of the results of any of the tests. The doctor told her this morning that she can't MD any more that she needs to get a different hobby. I had already told my husband that I wasn't taking her with me anymore. That scared me half to death and if I had been in the water I wouldn't have seen any of it at all. Thank heavens I was near her when it happened! I am really tired and going to bed. I just got back from my third trip down to Clearwater. Hopefully I will have some better news tomorrow. Thank you all for your good wishes and prayers.

that must have been so scary for you Mumszie. Better that she knows what is wrong so she can be treated. Good finds too.

"The doctor told her this morning that she can't MD any more that she needs to get a different hobby."
what? walking,swinging and scooping and relaxing by doing something you enjoy is not good for her???? does he mean permanently or just until she gets better? sounds goofy to me but i guess he knows something i don't? :dontknow:

Can´t see a reason for her to need to get another hobby unless she has something like a pace maker fitted where the MD just MIGHT interfere with it !! Otherwise I would have though he would just say she can´t go ALONE or wander more than about 20 yards away from someone else.
