I dug until I could dig no more

[txkickergirl]

The water was too rough to get out and play in, so I was forced to stay in the shallow and wet sand. Our little front brought some wind and rain and washed all the nice sand off the beach and left only and inch and then the black stuff. I figured it would be ring heaven with targets everywhere and from an 8hr hunt I dug only about 15 pull tabs, and about 5 bottle caps, but what I did dig was clad clad clad clad, and it is my firm belief that pennies should be banned from the beach! lol I dug not pictured 2 junk earrings, and a bottle opener, assorted weights, and a couple bolts.

I did manage gold, its a virgin mary pendant stamped 14k, its yellow gold on back and half of the front is white gold the other half rose gold. Where oh where did all the rings go, not even a junker (they must of washed out with all the pull tabs and bottle caps) and you can tell by the amount of clad I dug, it wasn't for lack of trying. I am so sore I can not move, when my hard headed self(i really was not leaving until i found a ring) finally packed it up I could barely stand up, and I had an hour and half drive home, it was miserable, once I made it in the house and showered I did not move from the couch, until it was time to move to the bed.

You remind me of me. I don't know when to stop and over do it most of the time! A lot of hard work but fun I bet. You should take "Daddy" up on his invite. He's a fine gentleman and there are some other nice folks attending also. Monty

I can believe that.

and yeah I would love to make it over to Uvalde one day, right now I have been in Corpus the last couple of days with my husband and his father. His dad is in ICU, has cancer and we are just waiting for him to let go, so I will probably be out of pocket for a little while, they figure it will be any day now.

We will miss you in uvalde.God Bless and prayers for you and family at this time.

The rings will catch up with you with the good karma you earned digging all that clad. Law of averages. You'll probably have a 3-ring day sometime soon.

prayers said for your husbands father and his family.

 

[mumszie]

I am so sorry to hear about your father in law. I guess I am not the only one with family problems. I will pray for him and hope things start looking up for you soon. Still.... having said all that..... impressive amount of clad! WTG

 

[txkickergirl]

thanks everyone, we have been hit kinda hard lately with family members and cancer. My brother Joe's wife's father just died last week of cancer. My dad is starting to show a few signs but thank God he is still doing okay for now, and my husbands dad well, the family knows its hours/days before he passes and are making arrangements today. We appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers and even though we are going through some sad times, we are truly blessed to have such wonderful family and friends.

it was pretty common for there to be more than one coin in the basket, but yeah that was a lot of coins i kept at it only because the rings had to be there somewhere but probably under all the blasted coins and I couldn't move an inch with out hitting another coin. It was exhausting!!!!!!and honestly by the end of the hunt I was praying for anything anything else at all even a pull tab, just not another yucky penny.
