Finally was able to get back out today with Buellride. It has been 7 weeks since my Right total shoulder replacement, and it's tough not being able to swing the coil. I'm sure if my orthopedic surgeon and physical therapist saw what I was doing today they would say I was a poor patient, maybe even crazy. Nonetheless I went out and swung and dug with my left arm and did my best to restrict my use of my right arm. I was slow at best, having to drop the detector, use the shovel, then the pinpointer then the hand to finally retrieve the finds all with one arm, but I had some success. I found mostly clad throughout the day, but nearing the end I got a nice 90+ tone. Popped the plug and started groping around for what I thought was likely another memorial penny masquerading as a high tone silver. Instead, in the roots of the grass I saw a silver edge. At first I thought it was a ring, but when I pulled it out, it was what appeared to be a large silver charm. On close inspection, it seemed to have a name or a Brand Name inscribed on it, and I did find a 925 stamp also. After some research I found out that it is a Memorial or Remembrance Charm that has a space where "cremains" can be placed. The charm itself weighs in at 9.8 grams, so is quite a piece of silver. Couldn't find anyone with the name on it that had passed away in the local area in the past 5-10 years. Maybe they lived somewhere else. Anyway, a successful silver day, and Paul also scored a silver Rosie, so neither one of us was totally skunked. Really looking forward to getting back out on a more regular basis, as long as my left shoulder holds up! Hope everyone has success on their future hunts.
