not sure if Yellow Jackets or Yellow Hornets ?
they were small, Very Angry & Packed a Good Sting.
While walking in the woods I Must have
kicked a ground nest.
After one stung me & I Killed it,
they started Multiplying.
Flying in my face Landing on my arms & Clothes.
Had to do a dance for a Little then moved away from them.

========

We then went to the FEEDER BRANCH
of the UNION CANAL.

While there I Got a deep Iffy Signal
The Kind I Love because they usually
Surprise Me.

I Have my Mighty AP Digger in to the Handle
& Check with my Probe & Still deeper.

All of a sudden I Hear this womans Voice
I Turn around to see a Cute Tiny Park Ranger
walking towards me. So I Nod a Hi !
& Stand up & take my phones off,
& She's asking me if I Know We need Permits.

I Explain this must be new Because I Was told
to just "Go & Have at it Whenever"
a few years ago.

She was very cool, Told us When , & Where to get
the "FREE" Permits.
Asked us if we heard of the Treasure Found in England
& said how she wanted to go get a detector & Hunt
for Treasure After seeing that.
We talked about the Park Plans,
Litterbugs, Ect.
Said Our Good Bye's
Then headed home

I found out about the Permitt some years back. Was detecting a Park Beach and noticed a Ranger watching. He walked up and asked us if we had a Permitt. WE said no, we didn't know we needed one for the beach. He wrote us one on the spot and then told me that He has an Explorer too. ;D So we talked detecting a while.
