As some of you know I had surgery on my right hand/wrist in late July. I figured that if I had to have the surgery, I'd schedule it in the summer when there are not as many opportunities to detect. Sunday I got out for only the second time since the surgery. I didn't set the world on fire, but I did manage to get a decent 1847 Large Cent, 5 flat buttons, and an intact suspender buckle in about 3 hours of hunting on an old standby site. It was good to get out swinging the coil and digging a few holes!

Quindy, I am not quite ready my friend. I was sore all over on Monday when I woke up, especially my right shoulder. I definitely am not in digging shape yet!

Nice outing Steve. I assume you're not having any wrist problems with swinging so hopefully you're back to normal (or even better).

I recently had back surgery in January, I found detecting is the best therapy if your careful. Excellent finds. Congrats.

Good hunt, Steve! I'm glad to see that you'll be able to hunt for a long time before the snow comes.

Glad your surgery went well Steve, and that your almost back into the swing of things. Pretty soon you will have to go up a shirt size due to oversized shoulders. Time, time, time... I see you had a very productive three hours of hunting, glad you got over some good targets on your second outing. Looking forward to your Fall posts there bud. Talk with you soon... Art
