It's getting to be that time of the year........
"Johnny No Toes" is starting to make his presence known.......
Be careful where you reach.........
Have fun, but be careful out there!! Don't reach into underbrush without checking it over.

"Can You Spot The Not........As In Not What You Want To Retrieve!"
 
Unless my eyes deceive me that is a Copperhead.
 
Spotting the 'not' or not hearing the 'not' with headphones is sometimes too late.
Been doing primarily relic hunting the last few weeks in remote areas. Snakes aren't the only hazards out there.

-Ticks and lyme disease. Wasn't unusual after a detecting session to pick a bunch of em crawling up my pant leg inside and out.
I always shower after detecting in those areas where i sometimes fine a couple more dug in or in the process of digging in.

-Coyote poop. After seeing a bunch of it, i made sure i carried a side arm for future hunts out there.

-Thorn brush. A royal PITA to detect around and painful too.

-Mosquitoes. Not a problem yet so far this Spring but Summer is around the corner.

-Spider bites. Got a couple of them too.

-Hornets and bees.

-Soil bacteria. I always wear gloves but bacteria can defeat most of em. When finished detecting, i always wipe my hands off good with anti-bacterial towels.

And just today while out detecting, just about swept over one of those aggressive bull snakes basking in the sun. Luckily they're all bark and no fatal bite.

Fortunately, there are no wolf packs, mountain lions or bears to worry about around here.

Hey a good metal detector should have picked up that "copper"..... But seriously that is my biggest fear. I live in the land of rattle snakes. you make a very good point. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN!
 
Power guy, we have learned that here in Texas, the rattle snakes are not rattling their warnings as much.
They have learned that if they rattle, the feral hogs can find them and eat them.
Makes for some already nervous walks in the woods to be even more nervous for me!!!

Be safe out there!!

Just to be honest..If I lived in an area where poison snakes were prevalent ..I would "NOT" detect.


Cluck, cluck,cluck........... Yep I'm a chicken and MAN enough to admit it....... :biteme: I think not ..LOL
 
It does add another element to the elements......
