Probably everyone has heard at one time or other about a dog eating a diamond ring/or other valuable. Owner has to follow it around, sort through the daily business. Well my chicken sniped a white milk glass cuff button before I could bend down. I was getting the phone of my pocket, and there was Salt & Pepper standing there. Now her new nickname is buttons.
Question has anyone detected with chickens before? They can hear a beep (even through the headphones) high tones they come a flying! Now I had seen this in England at a B&B I was staying at. They had chickens, and I was detecting the back yard, it took only a few holes for them to figure out what was up. Hole=worms. High tone he digs=get there first!
So my chicks are 9weeks old, had them out detecting when they were 8 weeks old. They remember the high tones he digs. 6 half flying running chicks from 50 feet away-simply amazing.
Lost my first target-why? They kicked out of the way, and I found it down the hill a bit. Photo explains why.
The other photo is of the little pirate buttons.
This is worse than detecting at a tot lot full of kids-stepping on the detector-looking in the hole-gabbing the finds. They must of did a 1 Km of trails and bush today.
Forgot to say the find in the roots is a 1/2" sq. little buckle.
