CTH, things I found and 1 thing I wish I hadn't found
The hunt was great and I will never forget it and the people who were there. That said, during the trip home on Sunday afternoon, I kept noticing that I had several places on my face and neck that were swelling and itching. When I woke up Monday morning my right eye looked like I had been in a Rocky film. ( and I lost bad) Apparentely there is some kind of flying insect that I am highly allergic to. It had to be little because I never felt anything nor did I see anything. I'm definitely not allergic to skeeters, my state bird, so I don't know what it was. Anyway, yesterday didn't get any better and I had took the term ugly to a new standard. Went to the doctor this morning and I have callitosis from some kind of bites. I got a huge shot and a appointment to come back in the morning. If I look like this tomorrow the doctor said it's straight into the hospital for a few days! Since I take rheumatoid arthritis medicine that lowers my resistance, this could be serious. Go figure.....
But anyway, I ended up with two military buttons, one small button, one token that says "One Free Beer" ( it didn't say where I could get that beer but somebody owes me!) Two 50 cal. shells, one 50 cal bullet, Two 28 cal. bullets, one plain wedding band ring (gold gone), one Viking axe (Lol) and some more unusual finds. Oh yeah, can't forget the rail spike. I'll post pictures when I can see through my right eye to aim the camera.
If you weren't able to make this event, you missed a good one, and to those new and old friends, you made it a special day for me. I'd go back, killer biting bugs and all!!!

I would have posted pictures of my face but this is a "G" rated site!!! Lol!!
Oh yeah, my little toe that the car battery dropped on in the parking lot at the hotel was broken but not bad. I think I set it metal detecting Sat.....my doctor who is a good friend always just shakes his head when he listens to my stories. I entertain him with all the junk that happens to me but thats another story!

I swear, those little bugs were driving me mad! Schloopy and I were walking along at a fast pace trying to get away from them. I told him that if ONE MORE of those bugs bites me, I was going to scream!!! I couldn't wait to get back to the hotel and get into a warm shower. My eyes, face and arms were itching like crazy and swelling like nobodies business! My girl Ros came to my rescue later Saturday night and took good care of me. 
Thanks again, Ros! 
I'm feeling a bit better now, I hope you are too, Steve!!! It was great to see you again!!
