NASTIEST HUNT EVER* COPPER & 3 IH'S

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

I think the title says it all. Being the 2 knuckleheads that Todd & myself are. Ya think we woulda learned after last weeks blood shed? :shocked04:verreaction: so we decide to do it again :hysterical:.
now let me tell you in 6 yrs of hunting cellar holes I have never been so violated by a swarm of mosquitos.
these are the most aggressive & hungry blood sucking flying vampires that I ever ever dealt with in my life.
at one point I had to make a small campfire near the cellar hole just get some smoke going to get some temporary relief from them([glow=red,2,300]no Dan,my cig smoke did not phase them[/glow])
we literally had 30 attacking & biting us at all times.no amount of deep woods OFF on arms,shirt and pants would stop these monsters.not to mention the heat & humidity.my clothes were soaked from sweat. i think me & Todd are gonna change our user names to ITCHY & SCRATCHY :thinkingabout:

I must say, you have to be really hardcore to endure those conditions! :stretcher:

But I probably would have been right there with you. thumbsup01

What are the dates on the Indian Heads, Todd?

I have no idea about the copper, hopefully Dan will have an idea.

Nice endurance Todd! :grin:
I was out yesterday and thought the bugs intolerable until about 10am when breezes blew the critters away and the humidity burned off. |:cheering:

Dave, I tip my hat to you guys for going out in this stuff. Work and family obligations have limited me to swinging the coil to maybe 5 hours in the last 2 months so I have been detecting vicariously through you hard core few. Those are well earned finds ! thumbsup01

Dave, there is no moaning allowed in metal detecting :hammer:

So I'm starting to think the whole point of your hunts is to feed the mosquito population so they do not starve?....How noble of you guys :angelic: For that good deed, you get a couple of crusty coins lol Nice hunt guys.
