2 years ago on vacation at virginia beach hunting at sunrise on a cool summer monday morning...beach was exceptional trashy that morn from weekend crowds leaving broken beach chairs ,boogie boards,coolers etc etc....im always a little on my guard no matter where i am...just prior to sunrise near one of the lifegaurd chairs and pile of garbage i noticed what i thought was a mans head ..well thats the only part i could see because he was wrapped in a brown blanket,had sunglasses on and a brown hat so there really was no contrast and with the dim early morning lighting i really wasnt sure what i was seeing....any way about 10 minutes later i hear sirens and there getting closer to where i am...i see the beach garbage truck and police where i had thought i saw what i thought was a man...meanwhile my wife knew i was right in that vacinity 5 minutes earlier and with so few people on the beach she was concerned for my well being...i saw my wife in the distance walking past the scene..by the time she caught up to me she was white as a ghost..she said they are doing cpr on a guy up there and i dont look good.....the garbage truck had accidently drove over the guy and he died...it was a homeless man trying to keep warm.... worse part is it wasnt until hours or days later that i realised i had heard the whole thing while listening to my headphones for signals..... kinda wierd how details can come back to you long after the event.... the other scariest thing was the time i was detecting in a driedup swimming hole and didnt realize i was about to step on a large black snake...it took everything i had to regain my balance as my foot was already on its way down when i realized what it was....after i regained my composer i told some nearby teenage girls to stay away from that area because of the snake.....they didnt listen to me and promptly went over there and killed it......
