Wow... close one Romeo. That would have definitely left a mark. Who knows where that's been.

In a cow...found in the middles of a pasture...

Yes we run into hazards like that at times...but that old rusty metal could be just as bad...Didn't you find a jar of blades a few years back on a dyke, believe it was around the same time you got a gold ring...

Good memory! Yep, bottle of razor blades on the same hunt I found my first gold ring...

Hey, way the hell better than needles from an inner city park! I'll gladly take 100 stabs from rust or whatever compared to one dirty needle.

That would deffinetly ruin your day. Glad it did'nt get you.

Yep!

running that needle under your finger nail would probably make you say naughty words.

Probably the same ones he heard me say when we hunted together.

 

[dfx-kevin]

sliced my fingers more than a few times on glass, but that looks just as bad

 

[The Patriot]

Must be a normal practice for farmers...my last hunt out, I pulled the top of the glass vial with rubber top...

 

[ironhorse]

Ooooh that woulda smarted!

I've found several large hypodermic needles like that and even a few of the large brass and glass vile syringes, all were found on an old experimental farm that had livestock for many years( mostly cattle) easily lost by vets in the dark stalls and hard to find in the straw, then cast out with the manure onto the fields.

Another reason why I always were leather gloves detecting, they might not stop them but it could surely slow down a bad poke in the hand

I am sure that would have left a mark and not just in your laundry. I am glad you didn't get stabbed, I cringe when see people looking for their targets with bare hands and no pin pointer, just blindly grabbing handfulls of dirt and waving them over thier coil. There is a ton of things in the ground that can give you cuts, scrapes and or illnessess diseases so we have to be careful out there.
HH and see you soon,

Speaking of which...I finally figured out why my detectors' been driving me crazy for the past month. My SunRay crapped out! It' must have been damaged when it took a dunk in the river. I took it off in the field today and it was like a brand new detector...now I'm in the market for a new pinpointer. Think I'll go with a hand held this time...

That's good you found out what was screwing up your detector but it's bad you have to get a new pin pointer. I had to get a new one to this summer too.

What if the cow was being given a shot for anthrax, or perhaps black leg. There can be some nasty stuff on needles used on animals. Although out in a field I'd like to think the bad stuff would be gone, but tetanus could be on it, especially if there were horses in the field.

Things like this is another reason I almost never reach down in a hole with my hands. My Sampson Mini Shovel, after a good pinpoint for exact location by using the ProPointer...The Sampson yanks it all out with no danger to me.

I have a feeling that's what killed mine every time. Too bad you never mentioned about the problems because I would have said first thing to do is take the probe off.

....not that it matters but that looks like the type of needle we use on Sedation darts....shot from a phnuematic rifle.....
