Ants in my pants!...

[gunwolf]

went back to the spot I found the Seated early this morning, gota few targets in and knelt down in a fire ant mound...they tore me up... I had jeans on somehow they got inside and they got up my leg as far as my thigh... I was dancing around like the dwarfs in the safety dance music video...
anyhow I only hunted for about 20 minutes.. this interesting stuff is what I pulled... the piece with the black circle is from yesterday, but I bilevel it goes with the other parts I found less than a few feet away... the small red circled thing has a glass or crystal in it... a pocket watch maybe? the big thing is copper , silver plated... like for a bell of some sort? it has a small rivet that would have held it to something. I dug the small lock at 10"... found the front and back in the same hole separate side walls... so if anyone has a cure for the fire ant burn, or knows what any of these neat finds are.. let me know! there is an old shotgun shell bottom I also found in the pic for size reference...

knelt down in a few red ant mounds and they let you know about it in a hurry.

From your description all I could imagine is the guy from Mountain Dew doing a hillbilly dance!!! Yes, I think its mostly internal watch pieces.....

Fire ants sound like no fun. Let’s all hunt when Brood X emerges.
