A trophy to stupidity!

[phs3194]

It has been eleven days since I fell and fractured both elbows. However it is a warm spring day, I am home alone, and bored out of my skull. I just had to try using the detector. Swinging the GTI2500 wasn't a problem. The swing-thing held all the weight and the armrest kept my arm from trying to rotate. Digging a target was a completely different story! Even with soft moist ground and my predator digger I just couldn't put any downward pressure on the digger without pain. I dug two targets before admitting to myself I was being an idiot. The first target was a 1980 D memorial penny. I don't know what the second was, as I quit before bringing it to the surface. It just hurt too badly. Below is a picture of today's trophy.

Rather than stupidity, think of it as passionate or overly zealous.

You get a "A" for addicted I mean effort. I hope you feel better soon.

I think that deserves a BANNER! Now that is a true metal head!

 

[mnixon]

I'd want you on my team anyday.....way to go .... that gives a whole new meaning to keep on swinging

 

[RHoward]

Boredom always tops stupidity until pain brings you back!

 

[naturegirl]

Great, now I know it's possible to dig with broken elbows Not! Seriously though, what about a digger attachement you can slip the toe of your boot into? then remove when you have to walk? I think it'll work. Take care of yourself!

I can see myself doing the same
A quick recovery to you

Thanks for the kind words! I've got to tell you though, it still feels more like mentally challenged than overly dedicated.

I was out hunting 2 hours after having all 4 wisdom teeth yanked... still woozy from pain meds and spittin blood.... something bout hunting to return one to normalcy after a bout with mis-fortune

They should have a banner page for how beat up you can get but still hunt looking for gold or relics,or coins,You'r in traction at the hospital sneaking out to detect but the nurse stopped you before you could recover your target in the ground.she said you were in a ten car pile up and you need to stay put.You need your rest.

I keep saying they should market detectors as a cure all. Get well soon.

I completely understand. If I could walk, I would be out, also. Back surgery has kept me out of the game for a while, but I should get to start physical therapy next week. Swing time!!

My back went completely out about 2 years ago......I was crying like a little babe one minute, shouting at the top of
my lungs the next. So....OF COURSE......the next Saturday, where am I headed?
My wife thought she would put her two cents into the mix.....something like, Do you want to kill yourself?
My answer: Looks like a good day to die.

Right on, man.......you are on the same (demented ) team that I am. HIKE THROUGH THE PAIN!!!
