Widow maker

Has anyone ever been killed while detecting? Looked up and saw this widowmaker today!!

 

[Kray Gelder]

That would do it!

About 30 feet long, and 30 feet up

When digging in the woods it pays to check the canopy above...

See lots like that in the W PA Woods, so I never head into the woods on windy days. I hope I don’t become the first...

Wow if there wasn’t enough to worry about.....

 

[cdickrun64]

....and its not even part of that tree....it was blown into it

 

[frogginfish]

Yikes!

 

[Digger RJ]

Don't think a hard hat would help that.

I had a friend killed while detecting. Drowned. I know of two others.

 

[Terry Soloman]

Yes, I killed a guy while metal detect.. oh, umm, sorry! Misunderstood the question. Nice tree!

Even a Hog eating acorns needs to look up once in a while.

 

[Trezurehunter]

It does pay to look up, as much as we have to look down ! Glad you weren't on the receiving end of that one !

 

[Hawks88]

Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Vldetecting]

Was there any finds under it?

 

[MadTom]

Never saw one like that before. Holy cr@p

Yes you definitely have to look around your environment including up.
