    VERY NICE!!! Thank you brotha!!! :thumbsup::fistbump::cheers:

    Btw, right now, she lives in a 5.5gal tank and it's like "an ant in a tent"!!! HAHAHAHA :laughing::laugh::rofl::rofl::rofl:

    I do NOT do it often, but I will put my finger up under her mouth and she will start to crawl up a little and then I pet her on the top of her head and she just "sits there"!!! I try to refrain picking her up as I don't want to startle her all of a sudden and then have her "drop her tale". That would suck!!!

    But yeah, she's pretty small, but seems to be getting used to me too!!! :thumbsup:

    Speaking of reptiles, had a detecting buddy check us out in the Mojave today. I had just packed up and we started to leave from where I was swinging my detector for the last part of the day, and saw this rock on the side of the road where there had been none just before. Such a cool animal!0B518EBF-759C-420B-800B-6A76E94D346E.jpg

    The tortoise king sent this one out to lure me to his golden lair, but I wasn’t going to fall for any of that! I went home with none, for arriving safely was my reward!

    Cool find! A good example of why everyone says to dig things up carefully.

    Now it’s your turn to find something!:boink::thumbsup:

    Yeah, that's the tough part is "retrieving items" sometimes.

    But, totally agree that you must be as careful as possible.

    Definitely an awesome find though. I'd be "digging" around that whole area now, for sure!!! :thumbsup::fistbump:
