Yesterday was just a Beautiful day to be out in the woods for a hunt with the detector! The area I picked to hunt was a rather large wooded park that sits right next to a 1940's neighborhood. I figured there would be some old silver there lying just beneath the leaves, but what I would later find out there would be something TOTALLY Unexpected......

Out of Nowhere, while I was detecting, here came about five Deer! What's Stange is.... these deer moved closer and closer to me when I was taking pictures of them, and at one point one got within ten feet of me:icon_scratch: They didn't seem afraid of me for some reason! They acted more like they never seen a human before and were Very Curious about me.......

These Are The BEST Pictures I've Ever Taken Of Wildlife CLOSE Up.....

I also found a piece of a farm animal harness, and a silver plated ring while I was out there, but nothing I could have found yesterday would have compared to these pictures I took:headbang:

Take Care, And Thanks For Looking..... Mike.S

I saw a similar story posted last year. It was a single deer. During the warmer parts of the year, I often share hunting grounds with deer at the local football field. They don't seem interested in me and I have not had any problems with them. It's nice being around the wild life, Just want to avoid the Mountain Lions, Bears and wild Pigs.
