MD'er VS Evil Groundhog
The story thus far.
2 weeks ago my son and i received permission to MD a yard and went there on Saturday , we found a dollar and change in clad and 2 cool finds , a 1915 exchange token and a 1916 era printing plate from the local news paper.
i noticed at that time a fresh looking hole going under the shed and knew it was a ground hog but paid it no mind.
2 days later my son and i return and dig some more in the side yard and again found some clad.
next day went back and hit the front yard , this time when we got out of the truck a big fat ground hog ran across the yard and tried to squeeze in between the root cellar door and the wall, he got stuck for like 15 seconds with his feet stuck up in the air kicking and wiggling. i couldnt help but laugh out loud and told my son i should go over and grab the little fat thing, ( i am smart enough to know better because he would eat me up,, the ground hog , not my son )
anyway about that time he squeezed thru and was gone out of site.
fast forward a 2 weeks later i see the land owner and he stops me and says he has bone to pick with me,
seems the first day where we dug behind the shed we left 3 of our plugs out of the ground and he had to pick them up and replace them.
i immediately apologized and told him i was sure we had replaced them.
the more we talked the more i thought about it and was sure that after going back 2 times we would have seen it , then i remembered he had mowed the yard sunday, the day after we dug back there .
i reminded him of that and he agreed he did so they had to be in the ground at the time.
now i know from past experience that i have seen Fox Squirrels in Atlanta roll fresh sod up into neat little rolls to get to the stuff underneath it , so i am guessing this fat little ground hog may have heard me laughing at him and went to get revenge and pulled up my plugs .
has any one else had issues like this with plugs being pulled up ?
