I found one like that in a farm field last year.
I think they were used on farm animals.
Not sure what for----Maybe antibiotics,

That is a possibility. I hope so(for his sake).

I've seen a few too, but haven't been stuck yet. I wouldn't worry too much, most of the nasty stuff that runs through your mind that you think you might catch can't survive being exposed to the weather for long.

The HIV virus dies pretty quick outside of the body, HEP C will live alot longer. NASTY!! I don't want either.

I too have dug a needle in a plowed field before. I figure it was cattle vaccination related. I didn't get stuck by it, but let me tell you this: No pair of gloves can guard against those things.
