Very Frustrating Day. Cut it Short

[ScubaDetector]

I know we all have them. But being underwater and frustrated isn't a good thing. When you are not in tune or harmony with yourself it is best to relax and know there are more days to play. Best not to be underwater when your concentration and feelings are not where you want them.

My very first target was the wings. Says Future Pilot on them. They were not broken when I found them. I had no idea they were fragile or I would have put them in my dive float. After I get out to rest and change tanks I noticed they were in three pieces.

The worst thing was I found a dog tag on a chain with an extra blank oval tag. Well I dropped it after I got out. It might be in the street behind where I parked. No idea. I do remember the date as 1947 and USN. I have the blank one but not the chain and the stamped one.

A merc and a rosey were my only silver finds. Rings are junk. Four wheat's oldest is 1916.

A lot of things going through my mind. Pretty soon it will be the 10th anniversary of my wife's passing. Doesn't seem like it has been that long.

As we all know, life goes on. I hope others had a wonderful day and had fun wherever you are.

At least I won't bore you with lots of pictures!!

Congrats on some good finds, despite cutting it short. Better safe than sorry, you'll be in the zone again soon.

I'm sorry to hear of the passing of your wife. I'm sure she is happy seeing that you are still doing what you love!

Hang in there Scuba. Some times our sub-conscious can really take over and we do not know why.
Sometimes I feel so low that nothing brings me up.
Tomorrow is another day!
On land, your finds would be banner finds for me.

Nice finds, even for an abbreviated hunt.

Sorry to hear about your wife. Keep your chin up, she would expect that from you.

Best of luck sir.

My father passed five years ago. We were very close. He was an electronics engineer and built me my first metal detector when I was 12 years old (I'm 61 now). I can still feel him smiling at me when I dig up a cool relic, and I feel the "good try" pat on the back when I get nothing but pull tabs and can slaw. The day will come when we are together again and it's going to be a blast catching up. We've never met, Scuba; but I'm sure you are getting the same support that I am. Enjoy your passion and keep on swinging. By the way, your finds fit in the smile category

I don't think I am depressed. Just not in tune today. We all have good days and bad days. If you are not focused while doing any dangerous sport it is best not to do it as far as I am concerned. Best to do something not requiring you to stay focused.

Thanks for the comments. I will be back out there swinging and diving away soon.

Still a very nice hunt, congratulations!

My diving friend Kevin came over today. He had to take his fiance to her sisters. We looked in the truck again and I found the dog tag. I was wrong, it wasn't a 47 it was a 46.

Thanks for sharing the hunt, the finds, and of course,
your feelings.
That's still a decent hunt and congrats on the silver.

Hey , you didn't get skunked.
I'd be all distracted by fish....
You'll have a day to smile about again. If they were all red letter days complacency would set in.

Interesting finds ,and some silver today ain't too shabby though!
