Well my last hunt is in the books for the next few months. Since I got sick in April I have hunted 4 times. Although not a lot of headphone time, it was quite productive with some of my best finds. I will be spending the next 6 to 8 weeks getting my Pillaging fix from the forums. I wish all you guys good luck and please post plenty of photo's and story's to keep me entertained. Maybe a poll on the best PI machine or something.

Here is a shot of the good stuff from the last 4 hunts, minus the 32 gram 14K bracelet, it is at the jewelers getting a new clasp and cleaned up better than I could do. Yes I will be wearing that piece.

The big ring with the diamonds is 14K, everything else is 18K or Platinum.

I've been hunting at least 20 times since April and haven't scored anywhere near your loot. Get well soon and thanks for sharing all your hunts.

Hey Jonnie, at the beginning of April, after a awesome beach hunt, I got rushed to the hospital with internal bleeding. I got diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma, Kidney Cancer. I have a tumor that is encased in my right kidney, they will be going in and removing about half of my right kidney. After that I should be fine.

I see you run charters. I got my 6 pack in 95, and started running charters full time in 97 from St. Pete to Charlotte Harbor. I fished my last charter in 2000, and took a Corp.Captain job until 2004. I really miss being on the water every day. When I move back next year, we will have to go fishing.

U think life is tough on u. Then u read a post such as yours and realize how selfish my feelings are. I pray for your quick recovery and return to the playground he has blessed all of us with.
