I have to share this with everyone because it was tooooo funny.
I headed out to a local fresh water swimming hole yesterday to do some underwater metal detecting. It was early in the day and the sky was gray with a little drizzel in the air, I thought I would have the area to myself for the day as the forecast was calling for a crap all day. The area is only about 6-8ft deep at max so I was under for several hours. The weather cleared a bit and I noticed some swimmers showing up but I kept on hunting, then out of nowhere this leg almost steps right on me so I reach out and push it away. I could tell the person that belonged to the leg got quite a fright by the jumping and commotion underwater. So I surfaced in the waist deep water with my mask and headphones on and this almost did the teenager in. All she could do is babble in between laughing and almost crying as her friends nearly downed from laughter. I tried to calm her but she could not even look at me. So I simply said good-by and slipped beneath the water again to continue hunting.
I am sure that I gave that young girl a story that she will be telling her friends and family for the rest of her days.
I know I had a good laugh over it.
