That will be a hard story to top.

Man oh man, I HATE those little devils. Why on earth they exist is beyond me.

Thanks for the story.

There is no way short of dying to top that one. I too am allergic to bees. When I see one I go in another direction.

friend of mine went detecting several years ago on the wrong side of town in ohio
and was shot lucky injured not killed

It WAS a pretty bad day but they say time heals all wounds. I can look back on it now and laugh (kind of). My uncle still thinks it's funnier than I do.

Come on folks! I can't be the only one who had an awful day detecting.

As a result of reading your story, I had a nightmare last night about ground hornets.

Thanks a lot.

I guess I must be the only one who had a bad day detecting???????

I was detecting about a month ago and when I went to go home I realized I had lost my keys. I was about 2 miles from my house and it was up a winding hill . So I walked across the road to a double wide and the man gave me a ride home to get a flashlight and a spare . When I got back I finally found my keys.

We have ants here in OZ called jumping jacks or bulldog ants, these suckers are over an inch long, they have big mandables and a huge sting on their tail, like a bee. I had one crawl up my pants leg (outside). The sucker was stinging me through the pants the sting was way worse than a bee I can tell you. He just kept plunging the sting in again and again until I smashed it off with my fist and proceeded to kill the mongrel with my hunting knife. On another trip my prospecting mate got tagged by a scorpion on the big toe while enjoying a cold ale around the campfire one night. Alls well that ends well. cheers Nugget.
