We are just super lucky with our permission, we have 15,000 acres of the Duke of Rutland estate to play in (which includes 1 castle,2 abbeys and lots of villages, one of our earliest finds is a Bronze Age Dirk. 😆

Fifteen thousand acres. I can’t imagine dealing with that. I have enough to keep me busy on less than half of one percent of that.

That's making me hungry 😋

Mornin all.

Bleary eyed first cup of coffee ; while debating about giving the backpack leaf blower noise neighbor a special hand signal to encourage him. He waited late enough to fire it up so I stuck with coffee.
Between us were three deer.
One about 40-50 yards from him watching. Then browsing berry cane leaves behind the shed.
Two others (it's the trio that likes the other neighbors landscaping) were plucking choke cherry leaves.
They browsed around like they were seriously browsing.
Guess noise and the goofy neighbor don't bother them too much.

Gee I have something found on my side of the pond from your side of the pond that isn't on the list.
But I will never fill your list.

Every time I go out! But I have not found one in any creek yet. The first one I found on the property was just off the side of the gravel driveway. Just lying there on top of the dirt. All the rest have come from the fields.

Depends on the creek bottom and if there is any current. Sandy, muddy bottoms usually won’t show any. You need a good current to turn them out on a high flow. They have to erode out of the banks. Certain amount of gravel is needed. All the creeks I hunt have gravel. Creeks here are like small rivers.
