20190225_081554.jpg looks like it says ORO with an X under the R. I went there , my metal detector only reads 10 inches deep. I found nothing to speak of. it is a curious spot anyways. the whole area smelled like snakes . and I scared up a javelina . The brush started shaking and making noise. I knew whatever it was had size to it. I had no where to hide or climb. got scared fast. then I saw that big old hairy pig bolt out of the brush. my heart dang near stopped. thankfully it was as scared as me . and ran away. made me wish I was not alone. I do not think a metal detector would work well for self defense. I did leave my detector on and screaming for the rest of my hike. as a warning to all wild pigs that I am coming through. lol. I am not going back. I don't like snakes. lol
