I had trigger finger on my right ring finger. I suffered for six months then saw my orthopedic doctor. I shot of cortisone fixed it. Hope it works for you.

Already went down this route. Yes it worked but the detecting brought it back after 6 months.

Felix get your backside to a hand specialist. The sooner you get the shots the better the chance of taking care of the problem. I procrastinated too long and had to have surgery to release the tendon. It took quite a few weeks for the finger to return to normal. You are gripping the handle on that scoop too tightly.

I think I'm going to be doing the procedure to release the tendon within the next year.

Some days are like that. I've found 8-12 rings in some hunts, and not a single gold one. It's weird!

Penny beach hasn't been that awesome for you over the years, though... I would think that any precious metal is a win, but dang if you weren't hitting the old stuff, and not running into the butter!

We've had some strong winds in the last few days from a more northerly direction. I thought this would be a good change for conditions except the surf was too rough for an outing in it. So yesterday I decided on a wet sand hunt at the beach I last found some yellow about 3 weeks ago. I arrived for sunrise and after a few minutes of finding my bearings on which part of the wet sand was producing the targets it was basically non-stop digging for 4.5 hours. I knew I was going to go over 100 coins and since this wasn't "Penny Beach" I had my highest clad total for the year at $13.79. I was digging lots of greenies, caked coins, and even sinkers. (The 1985 Swiss 20 rappen and the Peruvian 1995 were among the caked coins.). I was pretty certain with the way the hunt was going that gold would show up. Well, like Mud's "Gold is a cruel mistress" phrase, it never showed. The St. Christopher pendant & chain I thought initially was going to be junk, but after some cleaning at home I was surprised at the " 925". I was even more surprised to see how much those sold new for online. Not a bad outing, but with those conditions where I was hunting I should've had a glint of yellow.

Stop whining Felix... I feel for you not having found yellow in 3 weeks not

I haven't found gold since April but then again I haven't even picked up a metal detector since then At least I am still 9 ahead of Earl

Well there were 7-8 bottle caps, 3-4, PT's, 2-3 foil pieces, and a large stainless bolt in the trash that weren't pictured so that should lower my average a bit more! Seriously though, I try to be quick and efficient, especially in my recovery methods. I have seen way too many guys on Youtube videos taking too much time retrieving targets with methods that waste time and energy. I am also getting near the point that I'm going to have to go back to my hand specialist and have the "trigger finger" procedure for my left hand. My ring and middle fingers are getting increasingly locked in more. I have the same issues with the same fingers on right hand but not as bad. I may be a machine but I'm falling apart! The price of pirating.

Felix, you should come hunt my beaches where you're lucky to hit a dozen targets in an hour. You'll heal up real fast. In any case congratulations on the fine silver!

Nice hunt!

Nice hunt Felix. The medal is cool....

 

[melbajoe]

congrats on the silver- boy that's a lot of digging. I feel your pain my scoop elbow was killing me-had to take a break. That yellow usually shows up when you Don't expect it.
