deathray Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I have not been out much lately. So,getting the itch and with a couple hours of daylight left, I hit the creek near my house. I took the gb pro,but left the headphones at home. I detected till sunset,only finding trash. My last target was a 22 bullet. For whatever reason,I sat there for about 30 seconds rubbing the taget against the bottom of the coil, screwing around trying to make that scratching noise the rappers make on s turntable...wierd,I know.As I stand up,I see something grey running across the bedrock outcrop 30 yards away..A Bobcat!! Guess I sounded like a wounded rabbit,lol. Glad I didnt call in a lion! Happy New Year everyone!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldies1955 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Cool. Dont ya wish you had a helmet cam going for times like that? I ran into a herd of javalina one time on thequad and they ran right past me and the wash wall. Had to throw my leg over the gas tank. I think I was more scaredthen they were! Tom H.

NvDoug Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Heard that newriverblake . . . When I lived in Sonora, Ca. I heard what I thought was a airplane coming down, it ended being a huge teardrop shape swarm of bees flying 10ft over my head... Big wimp I was..... I kissed the dirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I hear you too. I was detecting in a paddock once for relics. Next thing I was swarmed. They stung my face and neck as I ran for my life dumping my gear as I ran. I waited for about an hour in the car then went to get my gear. By now I felt a little funny and when I got back to my car I looked at my face in the rear view. They had stung me multiple times.It had swollen so much that when I moved my head my cheeks wobbled. Man I felt sick. Went to the Doc who gave me a shot of antihistamine and some tablets to take for a couple of days.I have a real healthy respect for bee's these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
