a Racoon some "cotton candy". He was going to "wash" it and when it disappeared the poor Coon was truly perplexed.
My grandfather taught me to set a Victor trap with shiny tin foil and tie it off to a log across a creek, to catch a Coon. It's supposed to be very interesting to the Coonies.

AND IT'S PRETTY INTERESTING TO WATCH'em
BUT TAKE THEIR PAN AWAY & JUST SCATTER THE FOOD ALL OVER THE GRAVEL & THEY GO ABSOLUTELY CRAZY -- PICK UP 2 OR 3 PIECES & THEN TWIRL AROUND & FIND A COUPLE MORE PIECES -- THEY'LL DANCE AROUND LIKE THAT FOR HOURS -- BY THE MORNING THEY'VE PICKED THE GRAVEL CLEAN
POSSUM JUST TAKES IT ALL IN STRIDE -- SLOW & METHODICAL -- FIND ONE -- MUNCH IT UP & THEN MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE

Good old southern term. Watch a video of a coon examining food or another interesting item and then a video of me looking at a new gun or knife and you will see the similarity.

coon fingering
Incessantly playing with, toying with, examining, handling an object.
Removing a handgun from it's holster for no reason other than to display it to another person. "Stop coon fingering your gun"
73 yes south of the Mason/Dixon line-never heard the term
