Well Rick(NS) and I got out today to help a friend locate his survay markers. That didn't take too long and then my buddy offers to take us around and show us several cellar holes he knows about. So we spend most the day scouting out these cellar holes and marking on the GPS for future hunts when the vegetation isn't so much of an issue. While checking them out and fighting of the ticks, Rick managed to get up a nice, all be it a new model silver quarter. Great find Rick. But the find of the day was finding a large Snapping Turtle actually in the act of laying her eggs, right beside the road. Man that was the last thing I would have expected to see when I left the house today.
Getting out and enjoying nature is just as great as finding a silver coin.
HH everyone

The find of the day is having sites to detect on, getting in touch with nature is the bonus.

That's great ! I love the turtle - always have - saw three of them today in a man made lake here in southern AZ.

Cool photo, where life ends and the start for another. Saw one yesterday laying her eggs along side of the highway, always end up stopping every year it seems and helping one cross the roadway.

I always try to be kind to the wildlife esp, the Turtles [they were here long before us] & someone should tell it that laying it's eggs on the side of a road might not be the best idea . Congratz, on the silver & future sites as well.
