My A$$ was on vacation all week last week, so I was busy entertaining him most of the week. I did manage to get him to go to the mountain where I had found the Eagle buttons and such Saturday last, to find some GPS spots that I had found on an old map showing houses. After finding them for my buddy and I he left and we spent the day at one of the sites. Not much in keepers from there.....the usual tax tokens and bullets and such. Later in the week Lisa (huntin buddy) and I decided to go back and find one of the other sites. When we go through the first gate everything seemed normal as usual. Got to the second gate and it was closed. ??? This one up to now has been left open and all the cows and donkeys and such were allowed access to any part of the pasture, so a little confused but opened the gate and carried on. Got down to the spot and put down all the stuff that we had carried with us....backpack, bucket for carring all the junque out, water....ect... Turned the detector on and began swinging. Was there a couple of minutes and started hearing this noise that was just out of this world! I turned and looked at Lisa and ask her what she thought it was....she didn't know either. ??? Kept diggin and the noise got louder and louder! Looked up and there they were! Two of the biggest bulls I ever did see and heading straight for us! :o We hurriedly picked up all our stuff and head for the grove of trees for cover! I'm carring the bucket and Lisa is carring the backpack...they are getting closer and closer and we go from a swift walk to all out runnin! :D Lisa's got ahold of my shirt tail while we're runnin, she's screaming and I'm tellin her "It'll be alright!" :D After making it to the middle of the grove I stop and she plows into my backside! :D After a quick recovery, I look down and realize what is going on. I have a five gallon bucket and the bulls thinks it's feedin time! :P I leave the bucket and we skirt around the edge of the woods and crawl under the fence and left them the bucket! ;) We did get to detect on the other side of the fence and found more bullets and a 1918 wheat and a button with a person shooting with a bow and arrow and some regular change and of course some junque. It was an adventure, and we had fun! :D

Nana ;D

Oh my gosh Nana...I am just crying :D. Good thing your bucket wasnt full of finds....those bulls would have been chasing you longer,because I know you wouldnt have dropped it! Next time you need to take a video camera and make some money off Funniest Home Videos! Can you run fast backwards while filming?? Hahaha ....And Lisa hanging on to your shirt tail....thats just too funny! Your Hubby should just follow you around for entertainment!

Oh Yes...Nice finds!

:) :) That's a great story Nana!! I can only imagine what that looked like.
If you had it on video, you'd be $100,000 richer.

Big smiles!

Hey Nana!

I haven't logged on much in a long time but that was a good story to return to! BTW, you must be a tax token magnet. You always seem to pick up one or two of those.

;D ;D ;D ;D It's not buttons & bows...it's bulls & bullets.

Nana, I've told you time and time again...BEWARE OF BULLS :-X Anytime you are carrying a bucket regardless of size, the bulls are going to follow you like a lost puppy. From my experience...Angus bulls are more tamer than any other breed, so beware of all the others.

BTW, great finds!!!
