I Out-Smarted Those Pointed Pinocchio Nosed Flying Stinging Varmints Tonite :starwars:

That mosquito jacket made in China is about as useless as a screen door on a submarine. It cost $3.00....I should have known better. :( I wore a below the waist nylon jacket, tightened the draw string on the bottom and zipped it up to my neck. I bought some good strong "DEET" cream and covered my face & hands. On top of my head I wore a safari hat. I detected with gloves for added protection. Those little determined stinging beasts were on my nylon jacket using their proboscis as a jack hammer trying to penetrate that nylon. HAA!....no such luck :lol: I got one bite over 3 hours hunting. Luckily it was cool. If it warms up, I will just insert a couple of ice packs into the inner pockets.:thumbup:

I hunted a baseball diamond and some areas around a high school. I did get a ring, hoping it was gold, but was disappointed when I polished, as the gold plate came off. Oh well, sure beat sitting at home polluting my brain in front of the television. :)
 
They must be really bad where you are at. It's hard to believe you go through all that. I just spray on the deet!!!

Aren't you the guy that detects all winter long with heat packs strapped all over you and the detector?? And now you have to put ice packs all over the place!!! Just can't get a break!!! lol
 
A good hunt free of the bitters makes for a pleasant outing.
Next dig could be gold !
 
Dang John, you sure are detecting a lot lately. I am just the opposite. This year I'm satisfied with one or two hunts per week. Luckily we don't have bugs like you seem to but I have been using insect repellant all along. Last thing I need is Lyme Disease! Good job finding all those very strong Canadian dollars!
