Heck yeah!! Thats a great feeling! Good job!!

Man,you know your on a hot streak when the critters are helping you out!Fantastic buckle dude!!!

I agree...this is an excellent forum. And thanks Steve for giving thorough/informative responses and post...same goes for all the participants here!

Thats pretty dam amazing!!!!

Yeah,good idea...Ill post the AMRA outings and such.

Thanks Goldbrick,I will look into that...be worth not getting nagged by the wife,lol

I have thought about this alot. Your supposed to stay calm,not exert yourself...but Im usually miles away in a real huff n puff canyon...the blood is going to pump! This last incedant was the exception...was 50 yards from hwy 49.

Wasps and hornets are my enemy...hate those little bastards! What purpose do they serve,besides stinging the crap out of me?

FFH..Im at a taco truck,trying to eat a burrito,and you talk about eating snake eggs...GROSS!...LOL! Thanks for taking away tbe apetite!

I had my gaters on TVanwho. Dont usually kill em.

Like Spicoli would say "Gnarly!!"

Good write up FFH! My craziest encounter...was fishing Hogan Lake with my son. Sun was setting,hiked up a hill tochange glasses. Heard what I assumed was a rabbit coming down the dry grass toward me..mthats when a big 4 footer landed nearly at my feet! Seems he caught some speed coming down on the slick,dry grass.

Your absolutely right,Fredmason! Yeah,ours are usuallt pretty docile...not like the diamondbacks Ive encountered in Az...those guys are downright mean,lol. Funny,know your not supposed to run,but when it went off,flight instinct took over!

Ken about summed it up,thanks! We only have one type around me,the Northern Pacific Rattlesnake. They come in all sorts of flavors...seen em blonde,brown,dark brown,grey. I actually like snakes,grew up catching them as a kid,even a couple rattlers. But Ive had so many close calls with them,and my eyesight sure aint what it was,now Im close to calling war on them,lol.

Wow Spencer,sandalls? Your tougher than me man,lol. Heck,besides the snake,look at all the poison oak in the pic.

Dang! Heck of a haul! As an aside to your aside,lol...I just bought an f19...so will be selling my gb pro with 5x10 coil ..for $350. I honestly cant tell any difference in performance to the f19. Ill post in classifieds tonight. Ray

See it now?

Out hiking around today. While standing at the edge of a 20 foot drop,trying to figure out how to get around,damn rattlesnake goes off!Pretty sure I screamed like a little girl,as I jumped,ran and messed my shorts at same time. Was wearing snake gaiters,but he was a big dude,& didnt want to test them out...probably made in China. See how well he blends in.

Nice pile man!

Very cool,great find in my book. I bring my wife home the big rusty yard art too!

Haha,yall are too funny! And yes Spencer,really gave it the spit bath. Im a roofer..dang sun will probably kill me first!

Dang dude,thats a nice haul! No need for that disclaimer for me...JAWS has kept me out of the ocean since I was 12!

Not much in the relic department today Goldbrick!

Yes,its very rough Swifty! Charging the gp extreme battery right now,lol.

Thanks guys! Jasong,only have about 6 hours on it,lol. But I have had a gb pro since they came out...and its basically the same detector. I was told the f19 was deeper,but so far seems same..except it has variable tone break which is a plus for me. Does seem a little more solid/heavier than the gb pro.
