This, I'm almost certain, is probably a first not only for me but for everyone else.

So I went to an old church site where I dug a 1903 IH and was hoping to find more goodies. After digging several nails, I got a similar hit with the AT Pro and didn't want to pass it up because of the nails possibly masking the "nectar".
I dig my plug and turn the dirt over and I just stare in bewilderment (happens a lot...lol). There were approx. 10 of these little guys (red-eared sliders) that had recently hatched just squirming around. Thank God I didn't hurt any of them when I dug the plug. I gently placed the dirt back and let them do their thing.

I think they were guarding the treasure!

Pretty neat. I found 3 turtle eggs last month, but they were laid on top of ground in a wash.

I have dug up a snake and another time a lizzard bottle digging, I did what you did, I covered them back up with dirt.

Pretty cool find. I did not know they hatched underground like that.

Thats awesome! MD'ing is a SHELL game, you never know which one it's going to be under.

No soup for you!
Actually, with my eyesight, all that squirming in the hole would have freaked me out.
Kudos!

Can you imagine the signal you got was a ring and it was around one of the turtles neck and he was in the hole with it hahah that'd be a hell of a story! Nice find

WHAT ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Msbeepbeep]

Since you put them back, they will probably be more than happy to "detail" your next silver coin before you dig it out!
Nice saves!
