1722 George and a Tick!

[cannonball]

This morning it was below freezing when I put my frozen waders on to cross over on to one of my favorite sites here in South Jersey. By the afternoon the ticks were on me! This site just keeps giving no matter how many times I beat it down. Just when I think it's cleaned out yet another George comes up. My Fisher F-75 does well but I'm only getting surface targets. Every time I sift the same site it opens up a so much more.
I'll have to go back to sifting next time!!

You might want to get tested for Lyme Disease.

Got this fella on me 2 weeks ago in central Maine. Be careful out there!

that is a black legged tick aka deer tick the ones that carry lyme. I hope you never got rash or symptoms and got it off quick.

3 to 4 feet is deep holy cow! I must be missing out in a lot, I only go down a foot at the most.

Nice KG I I have found several of them, including three 1723s, but dang I haven't found one in probably 20 years!

So then you are digging these coppers at 3 to 4 feet from trash pits.

At least you found something worthwhile!

I swear I think I could pick one up walking across a parking lot. I've been one blessed soul not to have caught something with the hundreds altogether that I've found on me through my lifetime. Found this one yesterday after checking out the land for maybe 15 minutes. Never got off the path.



Pulled him off and put a little iodine on the spot. Gave him a drop, too. Didn't want him to feel left out.
