I had a chance to get out just one more time in 2008, I took it.
I was finding little items, bucks, rivet, and brass.
After digging a hole and retrieving a buck, I stood up and
tripped over my shovel. I fell forward landing aqwardly on
my head. The pain was overwhelming. I tried to stand up
but had some difficulty. After a few tries, I made it to my
feet. It took me over 1 hour to make it 50 yards out of the
field to my truck. I was using my detector and shovel as
crutches. Once I made it to my truck I called my wife to
come get me. I was unable to drive.
After a trip to the ER and a few tests and shots, I was told
it was a severe muscle strain. Better than a disc.
Anyway, Here are my finds for awhile, as I am stuck in
bedd for awhile yet. :-\

I'm sorry you had it so rough.I hope you're feeling better soon, and the muscle strain goes away.
Good finds though in your short hunt. Get well soon.

Glad to see it was a muscle strain, landing on your head like that could have messed a disk up in your neck. Hope you recover soon and get back out there. HH ted

Hmmm maybe we should start "Detector's compensation" for all of our falls, cuts scrapes and the like.. Whatcha think?
Hope ya feel better.. Now you can be in like all us people who are frozen in.

Holy smokes Ty. :o Sorry to hear about your accident. :( I hope you get well soon, and if you need anyone to tote your lead for you when you come back, I'm your man. :wink: :thumbsup:
Congrats on your finds. Maybe you can barter CW lead to pay the bill? :icon_scratch:

Back strains suck....Go to a chiropractor and they will hook you up. It has done wonders for my aching back. Knock on wood, I have not been laid up for over two years now since going to one. Good luck on the healing and nice finds.....jgas
 

Clumsy %#, my mother would say. Sorry you got hurt, though. Hope you can get out again soon
 

Nice finds to finish off the year. Glad to hear your OK and nothing serious.

My dad's infamous words were "Don't you ever do that again!". :D

Hope you heal up quickly and get back out in the field soon. :icon_sunny:
