Hi Everybody,
I'm bringing this up due to regulations that restrict me from detecting in some of the best public areas of my state due to concern over the environment. I know, and assume as hunters you know, what a great help we are to the ground and environment in general. Here's some solid proof from my first 3 months of metal detecting.. Barring the trash I've gotten rid of.
I recently went top to bottom metal detecting and digging in my backyard. Spending about a 4 to 6 weeks digging almost daily in a small area. During that time, I developed a relationship with 2 birds. They seemed to show up every time I started the machine. After a week or so, they waited around to be fed worms. I was happy to do so thought nothing of it. This evening, a month or so later, I noticed the same set of birds outside my window. Flying in and out of the tree. Sure enough, they have a nice nest built with 3 hatchlings almost ready to fly! Metal detecting helped support this family of birds. They were well fed while I was out digging and the babies look great. Can’t see too well in the vid but they are in the middle popping their heads up. Small victory maybe, but what a great find!! 3 healthy baby birds with the help of worms I dug!! My best find this week for sure!
So keep digging for mother nature
