Went out to a spot that just keeps on giving. Paved road to the river. Free parking, easy digging. 5 minute "walk" from the truck.. I ran the GGT for 3hrs. 13 buckets unclassified. Bigger stuff tossed by hand.
Not cold enough to wear my winter gloves but not warm enough that I wanted to get my summer gloves wet.. so I was clearing rocks off the grizzly bare handed. I had seen a piece of glass on the deck that I cleared over the grizzly or so I had thought.....
Turn out it went in the trap on edge and was sticking up through the grizzley... rake...hmm..that felt strange...dismiss it. Rake again..... WTF!
Held my hand up to inspect and the blood was going pretty damn good. Tip of index finger. It didn't hurt at all but was dripping about every 3 seconds... second cut was in the middle finger but not bad... Since the spot was so easy I didn't worry about first aid. Normally I have a roll of electrical tape for cuts like this. But I had NOTHING... not even a knife to cut my shirt... after bleeding all over the gravel bar for 10 minutes I thought CRAP. I'm gonna have to leave.....
Determined I took my sandwich out its baggy and stuck my finger down in the corner of it. Wrapped it around and shoved back into the glove. Good enough! Finished my day, and went home.. probably should have got a couple stitches but I've just been babysitting it. 2 weeks later its not healed yet...
