Found Silver, Almost Killed by a Porta Potty

[washingtonian]

Hey folks!

Found out about a good site last night and was itching to get out.

I got out early this evening and strapped my headlamp on. One of my early hits was a Dateless Buffalo, definitely a good sign. Midway through the hunt I found a 1920 Merc just as the wind and rain really started to pick up.

As I was finishing up I’d just dug a tax token and was getting a nickel signal when a huge gust of wind hit. I was crouched down about to dig and saw the honey bucket next to me slide 5 feet and start to tip as if it was going to fall on me. I put my arm up to brace the impact but thankfully it teetered for a moment then fell back into its upright position. That would’ve been one hell of a way to go.



Stay safe out there in the inclement weather and happy hunting!

Yes, killed by a porta potty. At least you got out. I fizzed out today. Maybe next week. Our ground is thawing now and should be ok for 1 more week.

Capped by the crapper would have been devastating! Glad you made it through. Awesome finds BTW.

 

[smokeythecat]

It probably would not have killed you. HOWEVER, the wife may not have let you in the house for a month.

Glad you survived to dig again! LMAO!

Lol. True. Would’ve been embarrassing explaining to folks at the hospital why I broke my arm.

It could have been a S#!++y day but it turned into a silver lining.

I bet you were pooped after the hunt

Up with the wind
The Porta-Potty flew
A flash was seen
A scream was heard
Someone was nearly killed
by a flying turd

It's the thing folk legends are made of.

Wash, nice Merc., glad that didn't turn into a Crappy situation !!! haha... I'm going out today.. Good Luck, buddy

 

[smokeythecat]

Yes, legends are made of such.

Nice tax token! Like the Merc too. Congrats!

Great story and nice hunt.

Hate it when port o potties become unruly and fight back...

But can you blame them ?

:P

Congrats on the hunt and for the best thread title in a while. Definitely click bait.

I haven't hunted so close to a porta potty and now I never will! Thanks for the warning.

Nice finds my man. I’m visualizing you trapped under the overturned Porta Potty, with a Merc clinched in your fist!

Be careful and good luck buddy.

 

[dirtlooter]

See, a near death experience and now you have good story to tell. are you so sure it was a blast of wind? maybe somebody didn't make it to the potty in time!

 

[Joe-Dirt]

yes, that would be a terrible way to go. I saw one get flipped with someone inside at a Patriots game years ago, that was probably the grossest thing I’ve ever seen.
