... wish I would have been there for that one.

Nope, never had that happen to me yet. Although I do get a little nervous when I get a dig signal right through a mole tunnel. lol

The last school girl squeal I let out was when I detected right up to that dead rat in the yard.

I once had a VERY large gopher come out of a hole and start biting on my coil . I figured I'd move away from him and he would stop this foolishness but he kept following me and kept going for my feet , wouldn't stop , no matter how far I moved ( I think he was rabid). Other than that just a few harmless , friendly beetles and potato bugs.

I've dug into a nest of ground wasps once glad I had gloves on..& another time I was digging next to a snake hole and I guess I scared him because he came flying out of the hole & kept going & never looked back.. lol

Yeah, I'm so glad you didn't get him with your digger :smitten: I love toads. That's so wierd! I've heard of frogs going down into mud during droughts, for months at a time, but not toads! I thought they hid out under logs and such...
