I think.

Went down to the RV Thursday. Gerry (Supafly 123) and TimC were there. We went detecting on Fri or Sat (it's all a blur now). I was off by myself and saw this really nice bluff on the side of the wash... just begging to be detected. I started working up the side of the bluff. Before I knew it, I was 8 to 10 feet above the wash floor.... and the rocks underfoot started to move. I KNEW I was going to take a hit. I could not move. My only option was to try and look over my shoulder and try to pick the spot to land. The next instant, I was flying like an eagle... downward. BAM! I got up and spit sand out. My right elbow took a big hit. right pinky wasn't moving right. Left shoulder was also covered with open wounds. BUT.... no bones sticking out so I walked back to where Tim and Gerry were at. By that time, my right elbow "scratch" was now the size of a baseball. Pinky was black'n'blue. and I was HURTING! Morale of the story: DON"T DO IT! Stay away from those rock bluffs. Those stones and dirt have been in place for hundreds and thousands of years but that doesn't mean it will hold your weight. And don't go to such places alone. I was lucky to be able to walk out on my own. Lesson learned.... use your head for more than just bouncing it off of rocks! (and enjoy the flight till you hit bottom!) Incidently, thank you Fisher, for building a Gold Bug 2 that "flew" 10 feet and still works! TTC

Seems like we are never too old or wise to learn something new.....even
if it would be a reminder of something we knew once. Glad you weren't
damaged any worse that you were Terry.

If Gold is where you find it, I need to look somewhere else.....

Only in America, could they have had the two people most responsible for the tax code, Timothy Geithner, the head of the Treasury Department and Charles Rangel who once ran the Ways and Means Committee, BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.

Nope. Didn't find a thing. Gold , that is. Found religion on the way down. Thanks all. I can chuckle about it now, but the outcome could have been much more severe. (Tim found my digger by following my footsteps until they dissappeared!) TTC

Glad to hear that your pride got hurt worse than you. No once the soreness is gone, you need to go back and detect the dirt and rock you moved. Could be your potatoe patch

Glad you made it out alright. Good to hear your equipment survived the fall too, sounds like all you need to replace is a t shirt and a cold beer.

Ooh Terry I is glad you is okays! Stay safe and within shouting distances of ya buddies!

Yesterday is history, tomorow a mystery. All we have is the here and now, it's a special gift. That's why we call it "The Present"

Pity the poor agnostic dyslexic insomniac who lies awake at night wondering if there really is a Dog.

It's not the fall it's the sudden stop. Glad to see ya still have some bounce.

I can empathize with you TC. I took a tumble like that off a trail toward a small creek by the Kern River CA. My GrandPa asked me what hurt worse, the fall or the sudden stop at the bottom. I tried to punch him with my good hand as he laughed.

If a Marine falls down a bluff in the desert and theres no one there does he make a sound?.....Bet he does...But, Jeff won't let us put it here.Terry glad you are O.K.

Thank you for sharing this reminder that we are all one step away from a bluff now and again. The penalty for paying more attention to our detector than where our feet are going can be steep. Glad you are well, Squid to Gyrene.

I know you think you understand what it was we thought I said, however you may not be aware of the fact that I might not have said what I intended to.
