I'll post it here because I looked through the forums and saw nothing listed for STUPID MOVES. After hunting the park I posted earlier, I went back to the pickup to stow my gear. The batteries for the scorpion were DEAD so I replaced them. I threw the DEAD ones into the open toolbox in the capped bed. I sat on the bumper to take my kneepads off. I smelled something burning! I stood up to see a piece of 0000 steelwool in the toolbox ablaze in embers! I could not slap it out. It was very close to a half full can of gas. I had no choice. I had to grab it and throw it to the ground to stomp it out. Lesson: Never EVER go metal detecting barefoot! .... just kidding.... the lesson is "dipose of batteries properly". 'nough said. TTC
