Update on my hunting

[Cache Hunter in NY]

Well the first time I went out I got two pull tabs but my husband lost the first one no real loss lol then I went out the next day I got a small piece of foil and a few old nails. I am thinking there is nothing all that great in the watertown park. This weekend I am going to my parents me and my husband are leaving tonight I checked the weather out there and it will be sunny and in the 60's In case anyone doesn't know my parents live in a small town called Westerlo NY in the Catskill mountains. I think there may be more there to find because eventhough it was all wooded when they moved there in the 80's it is a known Indian burrial ground and the land was also used during the civil war so maybe I can find something from then. The only thing I am worried about out there is the wild animals but I don't think I will come in contact with any. Maybe I will get into searching the abandoned house near my parents house too. I am pretty convinced there is something there. I look forward to posting all my new finds when I return

I live in the Adirondacks. Hunted them most of my life. I'm more afraid of ticks than wild animals. Tuck your pant cuffs in your socks, wear deat spray and check yourself real good after you get home.

lol no dudes that was Robert Englund now England but it's close lol. As far as ticks I hate then too but if you wear white they are less likely to go on you because they are drawn to dark colors but now I am on my way to my parents! YIPPIE!!!!!!

That's good stuff about the ticks, didn't know they were attracted to the darker clothes.

Ticks once hatched crawl to the tips of grass, branches etc. When you brush against them they reach out and attach to anything. Doesn't matter what color it is. I have never noticed a difference when I wore white. White may be better for other parasites but I don't think ticks use color or shades to distinguish their prey. In fact if you want to collect some, drag a white cloth behind you as you walk through the brush and grass.

Dark colors heat up faster and therefore attract them it is not that they are attracted to darker colors for what they look like it is more that they are attracted to the heat

Ok I found some things at my parents but I have no idea how to post the picture because it says the pictures are too big but some of my finds are a ton of nails(one seems REAL old); some bullet casings; a VW car symbol; 3 pennies; a pocket knife; a horse shoe and a barbwire fence I only dug some of it up though.

If you have photo editing software that came w/your camera it should be able to resize pics in edit. As for ticks, get the highest DEET spray that you can-found in Walmart's sporting goods.
