Big biters and roast rabbit"YANKEE CREEK PART 2"
Hi all,Rain gone and only had a few little showers today.I went for a drive out too a mine and farm settlement called Yankee Creek.If you havenot read the whole story it can be found at this link

Well today in got into a grove of tree along the creek and found evidence of a old cook house.The only trouble was first, most of what was left was under a big pepper-corn tree,buried under the roots and second a large nest of Black Bull-ants had made their home under the tree.These ants can grow to about 3/4 inch long and bite like hell.Trust me it feels like you lost a half a pound of skin when get bitten.If you stir them up they come out by the hundreds and move a reasonable pass and best to retreat fast. :P :P :P
I did find interesting collection of relics,12 gauge primer,pottery lid,cermic jar lid,some brassy bits and a rabbit trap [half off] a chemical bottle [embosed].Wool bale stencil {NO 2] and a one piece button.The button is quite ornate and i have no idea of its origan.
tinpan There's quite a few pics of finds and big biters and the button cleaned up.
