MM and I headed for the NC mountains today. We trimmed some weeds on his mountain property and then did some mountain metal detecting. The bees swarmed around Doug during the weed whacking and he got stung three times. (Yellow Jackets).

I tried to make him feel better (as we drove in his treasuremobile) to several promising hunting spots, by listing 300 other more ghastly things that could happen to a person. Anyway. He survived the incident and later on I found a sterling silver cub scout ring and a button that reads "B & S MFG CO." on the back. All in all, a memorable mountain treasure detecting experience!

yellow jackets suck! they will be thick around here in another month or so. other bees dont ever seem to bother me but yellow jackets sting me every year. they are so much more aggresive than your run of the mill honey bee. glad your friend wasnt allergic, and thats a real nice ring you got. be careful out there!

Got any TP?

TP?? ???
 

WTG Ridley.... Very nice ring for sure! Got stung by YJ's a few years back digging relics in the woods. Not a good feeling.

ooohhhhh now i get it! ;D haha ;D
 

Memorable indeed! :P Poor MM. :D

Gosh, that's a GREAT ring, Ridley AND button!!!

Nana :)
 

I like that ring Ridley. I'd bet silver BSA rings aren't common at all!

Keep safe...

LOL. Did you remind him about all the starving people in China? :D :D MM is lucky to have such a great friend like you. ;)

I'm sorry MM. I really do sympathize with your unfortunate event. :'(
