I got back out to the field where I dug some buttons earlier in the week. I began my trek back to NC where I have dug some real nice relics in the past. I pulled through the private gate where I have written permission, and drove a 1/4 mile back into the woods near a large river to a series of recently plowed farming fields. I was disappointed to see that Tobacco had just been planted the day before. So I moved over to another field where I have dug other things in the past. It was a good day all in all finding some old Civilian buttons, Pottery and other iron targets. I drove back to Virginia, and was totally beat. I went to the rest room, where I washed up and checked to see if I had any ticks on me. After an inspection of my body, I felt I was ok. I got some grub, chowed down, and played with my daughter for a while. I took a shower and laid down and went to bed. Around 4:30 am, I felt something on my left collarbone. I reached over and felt to my horror, something attached to my neck!! I arose from bed and went immediately to the bathroom mirror. I turned the light on, and saw the little nasty tick feasting on my blood! What was worse, was the purple dot underneath it! I gently pulled the pin head sized deer tick off my shoulder, crushed his sorry shell exposing the pea sized dark purple dot. Immediately I was very concerned. I waited a few hours after my wife awoke and she told me to call the Dr. I went to the Dr. office and sure enough, most likely Lymes!!!! UUUGGH! I am on my second day of antibiotics, and I have to tell you I feel lousy. Be careful out there folks.
