Scared the poop right out of me!

[Moresound]

There I was detecting in a field with knee high grass when ... BANG ... My coil flys up in the air and a small fawn starts leaping down through the field.
Two more steps and I would have stepped on it.
Almost knocked my EX Deus out of my hand.

Something like that happened to me once,not MDing but walking through a field at night I almost stepped on a partridge

Funny. I looked everywhere for her but didn't see her.

Did find a huge flat button though.

Thought they were mainly in pear trees.

I was hunting mushrooms once, and thought I spotted a black one....it was kind of wet.....as I started to reach for it I realized it was the nose of a fawn. It was fairly open woods, but it blended in so well I could not see it.

What did it ring up on your detector as? Neat find though.

was in process of crawling through a barbed wire fence in the middle of nowhere when the covey of quail exploded around me, ripped the crotch out of my new jeans as well as ruining the shirt. I am pretty sure that my heart stopped for a second but the barbs brought me back to life, was really happy that I had taken a nature break earlier.

Yesterday afternoon my son and I were in the front yard and cleaning up some tree shoots that had grown from the roots around 2 trees. Had about a 5 ft. circle around base of this tree to clean up and 3 ft. on the other. I was cutting the shoots and he was picking them up and putting into small trailer parked nearby. We had about 2 ft. left and was almost done when my son LEAPED back and turned a paler white. Right by us not but a few inches away were 2 copperhead snakes. A large one and a smaller one. So we walked over to the other tree and really poked around and sure enough there was another one (large). I normally don't kill them when I see them in the woods but I do in the yard with all my dogs around. One of the .22's did the job.

Mommy wouldn't have hurt you. They leave their fawns hidden and come back occasionally to nurse them.
Good grief. I typed in question marks in front of my statement and a face appears instead.
