... wish I would have been there for that one.
Nope, never had that happen to me yet. Although I do get a little nervous when I get a dig signal right through a mole tunnel. lol
The last school girl squeal I let out was when I detected right up to that dead rat in the yard.
Had this happen with insects before but nothing like that!

I once had a VERY large gopher come out of a hole and start biting on my coil . I figured I'd move away from him and he would stop this foolishness but he kept following me and kept going for my feet , wouldn't stop , no matter how far I moved ( I think he was rabid). Other than that just a few harmless , friendly beetles and potato bugs.
I've dug into a nest of ground wasps once glad I had gloves on..& another time I was digging next to a snake hole and I guess I scared him because he came flying out of the hole & kept going & never looked back.. lol
Yeah, I'm so glad you didn't get him with your diggerI love toads. That's so wierd! I've heard of frogs going down into mud during droughts, for months at a time, but not toads! I thought they hid out under logs and such...
omg on the wasps!!!!Good thing you didn't get stung! And I bet that poor snake was more scared of you then it lol
