CRISPINS CRITTERS

I can't trump G.I.B.'s cleverness. The truth is that G.I.B. took me to one of his secret beaches and I found two rings. One tungsten carbide and one silverish corroding pirate ring. I think some of the other stuff pictured might be silver as well, but who knows. I'm going to clean up the pirate ring tomorrow to look for a stamp but probably will not find one. I think G.I.B. found all the gold and put it in another bag so I would not feel bad about not finding any. Anyhow, the weather was beautiful and we had a great hunt.

Crispin,

Glad you got out with G.I.B. for a hunt to decompress....regardless of the finds it's good for the spirit....take care buddy.

Regards + HH

yep TGF it was me who was gut-punched to be told that bikini atoll was not named for the attire of the native females.. ( sometimes life is not fair)
 

Crispin/G.I.B.,

For some reason or other this song seemed appropriate to accompany your hunt....

Dropkick Murphys - The boys are back.....lol....



G.I.B.,

Now that's a funny post....heck Crispin's been driving me nuts for close to a year now....whenever I think I've got him figured out he throws a curve ball or knuckle ball my way....he must have a professional pitcher in a previous life....lol.

Personally JG if I ever get rich, I'm going to disappear in Bora Bora...........while on my last visit to Afghanistan one of the helicopter pilots (Navy) and I became good friends he told me he was stationed in Hawaii hunting for submarines in the cold war, and when he got married he went to Bora Bora, he said it was heaven on earth.........but so many people come, they do keep you on a time schedule as far as how long you can stay there

Hey my wife did her cruise to Jamiaca, she said it was beautiful. We all know it was the capital of Pirating in its heyday. I believe Kingston was hit by a hurricane back in the height of pirating and flooded. Lots of lives were lost, and structures, so maybe we could meet in Jamaica and have a "hunt" hehehehehe I'll start in the water any other diver volunteers ready to get wet? Oh and GIB I have been to Ft jeff quite a few times via helicopter. The guys at the National Park service loved us there.........but you are right, you aint got it, you aint going to get it. My dad had a funny story about traveling to Ft Jeff on a 25 footer overweight, didnt realize the ice would cause her to burn more fuel................he got stuck there for a week, finally this Cuban guy agreed to pull him back for $500.00.......about half way thru and 3:00 am, the guy stopped and told my dad $2500.00........my dad said cut me free, I'll float.......the guy pushes on the throttle and said just kidding, talk about Piracy haha

Folks,

Since the Red Sox won the world series thought maybe this one was appropriate.

Dropkick Murphy - Tessie.

Thanks for the link, looks very beautiful there.
 

GIB I was camping with my team on Loggerhead some slept inside the house I slept in my tent. I just went for a swim and decided Id turn in......so some guys are sleeping on the porch, some in tents, I'm in a tent with one of my brothers a young E-5 and I fall asleep........I am awakened by this screaming like little girls, "M" and I pop out to see what the invasion is about and there are about 10,000 crabs crawling all over my tent, the house and all over the guys on the porch it was hilarious watching these guys dodging crabs.........I stepped on a few and closed my tent flap real tight, wake up the next day and can you believe they had removed there wounded and KIA from the battelfield? There was no sign of the crabs at all..........that was a fun week.........
 

Folks,

Considering this is a metal detecting site....this song is somehow appropriate on different levels.

U2 - I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

 

I guess looking back it was pretty funny the time I caught crabs..............hahahahaha Where is everybody tonight.........Scott, oh Scott, I know you're out there dont wait until we all go to sleep to wake up! hahahaha


Bill..........nailed it..............

I was thinking the same thing, very quiet...

 



One of my favorite songs...and stories. This was my song I always played for my wife as I was getting on the plane.........she hates it because she knew what it meant......

I was absent when my son was born. One of my troops wife was pregnant. Steve K I brought him back from a trip early on a C-130. I "stole" the big bosses staff car and was waiting for him on the tarmac, he was like why did you bring me back early? I said Awww that trip didnt need you, I needed you here more.........he didnt notice I was driving to the hospital. When we got there he said "Why are we here?" I said "Come on I need to see somebody...........perfect timing his wife was giving birth to his 3rd child!!!! Thats how I treated my men.................

He was on a helicopter, the weather was horrible, but the pilot insisted to continue the training mission in Salt Lake City.......They flew right into Salt Lake Steve and Phil never made it. They crashed into the water and 11 were killed........I had to go to his home again with different news...........I miss Steve, Little Phil...everybody....I hate Christmas time it kicks me in the gut.....RIP guys, Someday I'll see you again on the other side............I'll tell you what you've missed and thank all of you for watching over me!
