I had run into jellyfish when I was in Vietnam. The spotters kept a close eye out for them in the swimming area. Worse part was the ones on the beach and slightly buried in the sand to hide them. Stepping on one in one's bare feet was not a good thing. Very painful I heard.
Don't have to worry about those up here in this freshwater lake. We do have some nasty spiders though...wolf spiders and up here they are huge and they jump on their victims. Sherry has one in her shop in the garage and we can't find it. Hope it didn't jump on her and come up here with the birds, cat, dogs and most of all the baby. I killed one last year and it was about the size of an Ike dollar. Sherry said the one in her shop is about the side of a 50 cent piece. Still big enough to kill the birds and injure the baby and smaller dogs.
I hate to kill spiders but having been bitten by one once which acted on my muscles in my leg and was working it way to my heart I needed treatment pronto. Nasty little creatures.
Stay safe Dennis and hope you guys get out to do some detecting soon and get some great finds.
