In Memory Of
So yesterday I heard a story back at aunt Betty's house when we went back there for pie and coffee after eating way to much at the Thanksgiving buffet restaurant.
It seems recently her son has some health related problems due to some kidney and possible gall stones and just had some scanning done to his mid section.
The doctor noticed something small, round and definitely shiny in his stomach and asked him about it.
Turns out when he was 6 years old in 1960 he was playing around with a quarter trying to flip it around on his lips and he somehow managed to swallow it.
Here it is 55 years later and it is evidently still lodged down there so it got me thinking...
I don't have much to do for the next few years so I am thinking about going back to school and maybe getting a few new degrees in both anesthesiology and surgery.
After that if I can talk him into a trip to do some elective surgery I would put him out, swing over his stomach with a detector, (sterilized, of course), then dive in there and recover that silver quarter.
It would be easier just to sharpen up my Lesche and get to it that way but the current laws, prevailing family attitudes and the job of cleaning up after just prevents that at this time and since I am the only detectorist in the entire family nobody else seems to understand.
It is a rare thing to know for sure the location of a hidden silver quarter but in this case I do.
If I want to turn into a quality coinshooter I think the commitment level needed is high to be successful.
So what do you guys think...too much or should I go for it?
