Howdy guys.
Before you read any further please realize I had Bryce type this up for me. I'm sure you would have figured that out on your own anyway but I wanted to clarify it. I work looooong days....my computer is sloooooow...and Bryce has a way with words
...so here is what he typed up for me.....
Well fellers'....he's hooked.

Rain....95 degree heat...darkness....mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds...it don't matter.....we're huntin'.
He's as bad as I am...and the "fever" has hit him hard.

I dug a few goodies tonight but Dave hadn't found any silver yet.
About 8:00 I'm ready to go so I yelled and said "Let's go".
His reply..."give me another 15 minutes...Herky is helping me dig this LAST wheatie up".

Well about 1 1/2 hours later it's now 9:30
...we're in total darkness....my shoulder is throbbing
...and I see a little indigo green glow off in the distance.
I then see the glow jumping around and hear smacking sounds.
It's Dave trying to hunt in the dark...tryin' to find one more oldie
...while swatting at the mosquitoes.
I thought to myself..."I gotta' get a pic of this...so I went to the car to get my camera.
By the time I made my way back over to Dave... there he was...sitting in the pitch black darkness...mosquitoes swarming...holding a flashlight between his teeth...and trying to dig his plug while swatting.

As you can see in the second pic here...even Hercules made his way over to him in the darkness to say..."Let's get out of here"
Thank goodness he popped out silver #2 for his career...or he mighta' kept me there til midnight.
You know those hunts...when it's time to go...but you wanna' end on a wheatie or silver...not a piece of crap.
Trust me...I'm probably worse than anyone...and I'll stay another 2 or 3 hours if I have to...but I'm findin' SOMETHING good...or I ain't leavin'.
Hey...I've taught this big feller' well. He is VERY persistent.
He worked very hard for many hours to find this stuff...7 wheaties...the Roosey...and the sweet little silver plated dog statue.

The dog is very detailed but the scan didn't show it very well.
Dave was stoked...as was I...that he got silver #2 for his career.
I know he will find many more.
