We have to self motivate ourselves on the roughest days whether it?s scorching heat or freezing cold people look at us we don?t seem to care I wants had to move a big pile of dog crap because it was either a Half Dime or a Memorial yes it was a memorial. Rain sleet snow or shine if we get that itch we?re going. And the reason why I bring this up is to realize how crazy I am I had a beautiful signal I knew it was beautiful sign but I had to break through some ref brick ?it was a Bent square nail. Only once the adrenaline wore off I realize that ants were eating me alive and by the look of it they didn?t just start. I?m out of my mind. Oh and I never knew they had yellow jackets underground. Lol

No, I don't do ants. I have been getting rid of all my "treasure" of late. There comes a point in life it just becomes stuff. I like the chase, however.

Ahoy.... You just opened up a whole can of worms. Many of us have stories that would make this the LARGEST thread on the website. I'm biting my tongue right now just not to speak........ :-) Or decide which ones to tell.

No time now, maybe later.

Flies are actually the worst for me because I get massively swollen and itchy from a single bite whether it’s a horsefly or just a black fly. A single bite can make me miserable for more than a week. So there I would be detecting in the water when it was 85 degrees with long pants, long sleeves, a netted hat and gloves.

... Truth is your wife named Treasure? Truth and Treasure, what a great pair.
For me a women?s treasure is the most powerful force on planet. Nothing compares.
Standing on an ant hill to reach high enough to pluck a bee hive and than take a selfie with a Yellowstone bison...

Twice, not once, but twice last week I disturbed yellow jackets underground. Truth, that's where most of them nest down here. The first time I didn't get stung but my dog did. The 2nd time I got hit in the middle of the back and the left eye. I have a pic, not sure I want to post it...

A concerted yellow jacket attack can put anyone in the ground, not to be dug up as treasure ever. Now is the worst time of year for them.

Holy **** smallfoot you got lite up. I got hit in the left and I swear I was the only town I realize that they go on the ground to. The question is did you keep digging or did you call of the day? LOL
