    Back in the swing of things.

    I had my final doctors appointment today and I'm clear to go back to work and resume my normal activities. I figured the only way to see if my shoulder was better after surgery was to put it to the test. It was a chilly 30 today but the sun was out and I figured there was still some unfrozen ground because of our mild winter, so why not. I managed to hunt for 2 hours with no problems or pain. I found $.92 in clad, one wheat and a silver bracelet. It's not much but the shoulder is good and I'm fired-up for a new season. The only bad thing is we are about to start a deep freeze here so the hunting will have to wait fo now. Thanks for looking.

    Great to hear that the doc cleared you. Don't worry about frozen ground, it'll give you some more healing time. Congrats on getting out today.

    Glad to hear the good news and that you are back swinging the coil Jeff. Not a bad outing too. The silver bracelet is a nice find. And more good stuff to come once you get going I'm sure.

    It's great to hear see you are back out there swinging the coil.
    Hitting silver on your comeback hunt certainly rejuvenates the soul.
    Congrats Jeff.

    Wow I bet you are relieved. Now you have to follow the doctors orders and resume normal detecting activities! lol

    With the freeze coming at least your shoulder will get a little more heal time |
    It hopefully won't last long. Congrats on that nice silver bracelet
