Cabin Fever

Do you have Cabin Fever? Have you cleaned your detector and equipment 4 or 5 times already? Have you searched and researched and re-researched your new spot that you can detect it in your sleep? Yeah, me too!

I can't take much more! I sold my F70 and my backup E-Trac last week on Ebay. I have my other E-trac all polished up and ready to go. I bought a dozen new pair of digging gloves and a new pouch. Everything is ready to go!!! I think the snow is starting to melt this week and I am starting to feel alive again. Then it happened. My 60 year old left knee has went out and I got referred to a knee surgeon for evaluation. The pain is the worst it has ever been. I met with him yesterday and my surgery is scheduled for March 13th. Now it does not matter if the snow melts or not for me. Why didn't my knee go out in November or December? Bad luck on the timing I guess. Well I guess if my knee gets better I will have to double up on the hunts to make up for my downtime. Sometime life sucks but I guess it could be a lot worse so I shouldn't complain.

amxfred, I too am 60 and have problems with my neck. Get all stiff after a couple hours of swinging. But I'll be out there as sure as the sun shines. Good luck with your surgery and a speedy recovery.

On the very last day of August I have played in the dirt 60 summers... Fred I would also get a second opinion and try the most un-invasive type you can get.. I to have a bad left knee or what is left of it.. Most of it is a piece of my pelvic bone.. Wasn't anything big enough to put together.. 5 major and a few minors to get me out of the wheelchair.. Like I said get a second opinion..

Amxfred, I hope your surgery went well. I was involved in many sports in the past....Football 12 yrs, softball 42yrs, tennis 51 yrs, etc......most of it in Illinois. Well eventually I got a metal knee. Have it for 16 yrs now...no problems. The best thing is that when I'm around some of my grandkids, I "detect" their knees -- no sound, then I detect my knee -- BEEP, BEEP! They really enjoy that but really don't understand 'a metal knee'.

More snow on the 15th and 2 more weeks of below normal temps.

Really makes it hard to dig. One good thing, grounds to hard to plant campaign signs for upcomming election.
