1 Buckle, 7 Buttons & 2 Snakes

The Rebel · Apr 28, 2013

Got out for a bit today.
Temps were in the uppers 40's but warmed up to 70. Was a perfect day to be out in the woods, except for the small files dive bombing me (kept my mouth shut

)
I'm pretty beat so here's pic's!
Hope everybody had a chance to get out.
HH,
Roger

I like everything but the snake. Your buckle and buttons cleaned up really nice. I like the fact that they're cleaned just enough to where you can see the luster but are not too shiny.

Nice. My fiancé and I went on the Duluth beach today as well. Found 2 pennies, a Radissan Inn Token ( "No Cash Value" lol ) , a dogs rabies vaccination tag, a hair pin and lots of little iron and aluminum pieces. At least the detectors are still working.

Great finds..... the shoe buckle is really nice.

Great bunch of finds but I'm not a fan of snakes. Especially when you get surprised by one.

Yea, these 2 were sunning themselves along the trail & I almost stepped on both of them. Glad I didn't! Saw my 1st Yellow Jacket as well, I HATE THOSE :censored:

I kinda like snakes myself, but I respect them and keep my distance. Never run into any on a hunt or a hike, but almost ran right into a mountain lion once.

I don't mind snakes as long as they aren't poisonous and near me. A mountain lion! NOT FUN!

Yep. I knew what they were as soon as I saw them. We only have 2 poisonous snakes here in CT: Copperheads & Timber Rattlesnakes. The old trick is if it has a cats eye LOOK OUT :tongue3:

I must disagree. Not harmless. If I had been bent down digging a hole and one of these critters had slithered over. They would've found me, laid out, dead! I'm not ready for my heart attack!
