Lighter side of swinging left

[leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose.....been quite the week with several trips to my witch doctor who just keeps on writing prescriptions for my right arm and shoulder. Well me bouy we have a fellow at work who is a retired coroner and I told him about one of my aches. Couldn't belief that he then detailed my every pain. Imagine a guy who cuts up dead folks does a better diagnosis then a doctor who is suppose to keep you healthy! Lord love a duck.

Well I'm officially three years from a federal pension and celebrated by going a digging with Marie in tow and loose with the camera!

Cut her off after those two and I dug for a tad more finding a few coins. Still struggling with the AT Pro.
From there it was off to the Whale's Back so Marie could exercise her shopping gene!

Went to Peggy's Cove and I think it was still there!

Here dear try this.
Marie a purple hoddie makes me look like an over sized grape
What about this one?
&quot:grin:shocked04:n't like green dear and besides this makes me look like a giant watermelon.
This pink one is nice.
Marie isn't that a ladies shirt?

So we left the Whale's Back with two ice cream cones.

Had to do the dew as per normal and once again lost Marie to the other bouy. The Little Gipper.

Worse then that was with the sore wing I could hardly hold me birthday cake!

To add insult to injury my team Man U was manhandled by the Spaniards in the European Championship ! The pain....the pain!

Anyway got out with Navy Davy today and the bouy was on fire digging up a quota of 69 coins and a Mustang. the Tecknetics ruled the day.

Swinging left handed and still on the band wagon learning curve I managed a mere 19 coins, a button and a religious icon!

Had a deep thought after today's dig!

Then another one struck me. At work the other day Albert said to me that he had to leave his post for a moment to go to the little bouyz room. While standing in the next urinal it hit me. I turned to him and said, Think this is the big bouyz room. Too which we both had a good chuckle. Albert is a 165 pounds soaking wet and I slightly over a ton and a half.

Off tomorrow to Enfield to try and find a white gold wedding band fur a bouy!

First, thanks for sharing with us, Les. That was a fun post to read, and it was nice to see the man behind the detector. :yes:

Second, I had an injury about 15 years ago that I think was very similar to what you are suffering. The doctors took x-rays, injected cortisone (on several occasions) in both the shoulder joint and the elbow joint (that was one scary needle - about 4 inches long) and were contemplating surgery. :(

The misery went on for about 4 or 5 years. I could not sleep on my left side for years (I was lucky that it was my left shoulder - I’m right handed).

Then one day I joined a gym and told the gym’s trainer about my problem. She instructed me on exercises that she thought would help. She started me out with very light dumbbells (I believe the weight was around 2 pounds). My shoulder began to improve, and the weight was slowly increased. In six months my shoulder problems were completely cured and I have not had a problem since (I’m now 64-years-old and that was around 10 years ago). happydance02 Before I was helped by my gym’s trainer, I had resigned myself to suffering the rest of my life (5 years is a long time).

Third, have you seen those harnesses that take all of the weight of the metal detector? You can wear this strap over your good shoulder (or your bad shoulder for that matter), and all you have to do is swing. No weight. I think the guy who invented this little bit of common sense should get some kind of award! You can order one of these harnesses at www.docdetecting.com (http://www.docdetecting.com). It’s called a “Swingy Thingy” and costs around $32 US. :groovy:
