Arm Better, Back At It.

[OxShoeDrew]

I hurt my arm throwing a football about 20 feet and was sidelined for a week or two. Getting old is no picnic. Started back in yesterday and found a nice site that should produce plenty.
I walked around for two hours yesterday following a bunch of walls. There are so many walls that there should have been a hole, but I just couldn't locate one. I went back today for an hour and pulled target after target, but still no hole. I wonder if they burned the place and took all the nails. Targets were every 10 or 15 feet. For every non-ferrous there might have been two or three iron signals. I haven't cleaned the dirt out of the crotal but it is a 4 holer without any cracks. The matron is undateable. The dog tag is a 1916. Those people in the 19-teens were fastidious about dog tags. I find a lot of those years. Thanks, as always.

lol Had the same thing happen to me a couple of years ago. Mine was when I threw a Frisbee at a family picnic. Whipped that thing and the second I let it go, I was done. :girlcry: Took a while to heal You had a pretty good hunt at the new site. Even if you don't find the hole, just keep doing what you are doing. Where is a picture of that crusty Matron anyways? :thinkingabout:

Glad you're feeling better, it's always a bummer to be sidelined... :-\

While all your detector finds are great (looking forward to more than bottle caps myself) I REALLY like the glass. Were those surface, or the product of digging targets?

A lot of nice brass there Drew :congrats:

 

[OxShoeDrew]

Thanks everyone.
Yeah Icountback, the bottles were 100 yds apart, half out of the ground. They are a pain to get out of the woods. :-\ No dump associated with them ::huh::
I went back today and made no progress at the site. I was scared out of my mind though....
As the sun went down behind a hill I was alone, working a skunking....the temps dropping and the owls starting their ungodly screeching...I spot a 300 yr old oak tree. These are seldom seen around here. It's on a steep slope so I have to hug the tree to get around it. As I move around it I come face to face with this....

 

[OxShoeDrew]

A fox must have got stuck in the den. :-\

That is a very strange find Drew. I am assuming it is a Grey Fox as they will take to a tree more readily than a Red Fox. Next time you find yourself in that area, you might want to see if that fox has a trap on its foot. I can't think of any other reason why it might get snagged like that. :dontknow: I suppose someone could have shot it and placed it there also.

[size=1:crazy:t]That is scary!


It does suck getting old, but body hurts more and more everyday :stretcher:......just don't know how George and Dan do it :dontknow: oke: oke:

 

[Lodge Scent]

Maybe it was that ferocious Monkey sloth they caught on film last month that killed the fox. Not safe to go in the woods anymore. :shocked04:

I for one would like to say that getting old is just great..............dang,my nose just grew again. Glad to hear the arm is better and :congrats: on all those keepers. The hanging vermin would have freaked me out also.
