tttyyttyyyt 023.JPG tttyyttyyyt 024.JPG I once had a silver dollar signal and dug it and it was a Cat tag with the cat still attached or its carcus ,,This tops that for my worst find for the last 2 weeks,,,,, I sent my 3 year old AT PRO to Garrett they gave me a new board a new case cause one of the screws broke a new coil and new headphones I bought this from them used 3 years ago it was being shipped back no charge for repairs before I even called to check on it AMAZING COMPANY I havent been able to use it yet. Thanks all for posting your great finds and year totals it keeps me sane during this winter!!!Sorry had to vent!!!!!Tommy What did I do to deserve this????? PLENTY!!! but I asked for forgiveness!!!!!!!

Did the tag have the name "SNOWBALL" on it? We always wondered what happened to that cat!

Tis the season A2, Get lost in the season of giving and enjoy some family time. I tried to hunt yesterday, I drove to different sites and the ground was frozen everywhere so I looked for surface coins and shallow targets. Now it's time to go through the pics of this year's hunts, round up the good finds and make "The Keepers of 2016" post.

Once upon a time ago, I was digging with a gentleman near the Battle of Saylor's Creek, Virginia. He was working the local homesites dating from Civil War times. As he told me the story, some years later, One day he found a large lead chest buried. Dug it up. Inside was a child's skeleton with a Sharps carbine bullet in it. That is the worst find ever. If I remember correctly he reburied the whole thing.

I don't even know what to say to that.

Congrats does not seem appropriate.

Most of my "Worst Finds" have been eyeball finds. Some were Voodoo Ritual Sites with dead roosters or goat heads. I came across a partially open manhole cover in an isolated overgrown area that was being used as a party spot in the woods. Very dangerous for someone not paying attention to where they were stepping.

You cracked me up, A2. I can only imagine digging up a cat carcass. But it got me to thinking...as many areas as I've hunted, I can't believe I've not had the same experience yet. I haven't looked to see if TNet already has one, but you got me thinking about a "Worst Finds" forum. There's got to be plenty more such stories.

Ya don't often find a cat that has run out of lives..........
Would have been worse if the tag had an "if lost" telephone number..........I wouldn't want to make that call!!

by the way, I moved this to Years Totals since it is Not a Today's Find & You thanked the Members for Posting their Years Totals,
So I felt this was "Maybe" more appropriate. ?

Too bad you had to work at retrieving that target. Fortunately all of my dead animals are eyeball finds! :icon_thumright:
