I spent 4 years metal Detecting a remote logging camp, one day I arrived at the place I had been digging for the past couple days. After a hour of digging, slowly pulling nails out one at a time my dogs start barking. I hadn’t heard a thing and my dogs don’t bark at anything. Concerned I looked through the brush at what they were seeing....
to my horror I saw a metallic object slowly rise above a deadfall log and when it saw me look at it the object slowly hid behind the log. My heart started racing and my dogs were going nuts. Again the object rose to look at me only to hide after being seen. I yelled out “Hey, I see you”!!
After another peekaboo session I gained the courage to walk a little closer, yelling louder and walking with my male Labrador, we started creeping closer, the object was unfazed.
Just as I thought we could be in for the fight of our lives I realized what We were looking at....
a half inflated metallic party balloon.
Relieved and embarrassed I retrieved the balloon and tied it to the tree where I was working, my female lab was still not ok with it. Haha
