Whooooo Hoooooo! First Time Out......

[vic910]

Well, I've been keeping my interest up by continuing to read all the finds since breaking my leg (in 3 places yet) at the beginning of December. I just couldn't stand it anymore so I used my big shovel as a cane and went out in my backyard. Isn't that where we all go when we don't have much time or don't want to go very far? LOL! Anyway, I lasted about 20 minutes before my back started cramping up and my legs started shaking. Man, I guess laying around for the last five months can really do a number on your muscles! I was determined not to quit until I found at least something. Well, I found a clad penny (1974), but doggone it, I kept getting hits so I thought "okay, just one more dig" and I pulled out a Hot Wheel bus in great condition. Wouldn't you know it? Right next to that I got another hit and pulled out a 1994 penny, then a 1991 penny! Now my back is really screaming so I had to turn off the MD so I wouldn't be tempted by another hit. I ended up using the shovel AND the MD as canes just to get back into the house............but, my oh my, I loved finding stuff again! I can't wait to build up my muscles enough to stay out longer! Thanks for reading this long post, but I couldn't keep it to myself!

WOW, a hot wheel bus, wish I could find one of those, I just keep finding old beer cans. The people who lived here before me had lousy taste in beer also......LOL

Vic, It's great to hear you feeling good enough for a little hunt.

Like everybody said...take it easy....don't injure yourself.

Thanks for the soap opera update, guys.....now I've got the scoop.

No problem Mona L., I just keep getting the different stories all confused, LOL!

Glad you got out today! man i hope your leg gets better. That must suck!

Yeah, it sucks all right!

Vicky,

Glad you're on the mend
Maybe take someone with you to dig & carry?
know any little people?...kids are great!
Take it slow, and rest often

The only one who actually WANTS to help me dig is my hubby and he's out of town. My two boys think MDing is totally boring.

After having 5 knee surgeries I know how you feel on wanting to get back out. Just take baby steps and you will be back at it in no time. Good luck.

Oh gosh!! Five surgeries?? I think I'd be afraid to ever walk again!

WOW, a hot wheel bus, wish I could find one of those, I just keep finding old beer cans. The people who lived here before me had lousy taste in beer also......LOL

Believe me, I've found my share of smashed beer cans, and you're right, it's hardly ever a good brand!

To everyone else - Thanks again for all the kind wishes.
