I can remember when

I don't know what it is with DFX's...........:shrug:......we had a club member leave his in the park last year complete with a DX-1 and an aftermarket coil, and when he went back to get it, he wasn't so lucky. He did place an ad in the newspaper though and a couple of weeks later an "honest" person said he had found it and returned it to the member. I thought if he was REAL honest, he would have turned it into the police when he found it........:confused:

Woud've made some cop a nice tector!!!!!---OH MAN, I CAN'T BELIEVE I said that!!! :bouncy:----That's ONE BAD JOKE--sorry. :biggrin: -----Hey, I turned a gun in to the police station I found once---ended up it was a highway patrolman that lost it--true story!--------Del
 
OK--You twisted my arm--if you really wanna hear it, here it is. :biggrin:--I believe in "tellin 'em" on yourself & this is how my wife got revenge on me in the case of the "vanishing DFX"!---We were at our home (at a later date) & we decided to take the Jeep & go for a days hunt.---So we drove 20 miles (one way) to an area we knew and hunted an old rodeo grounds--then went from there & hunted a lakeside area with sandy beach.---We had a very nice time with a good hunt & really enjoyed ourselves.---When we're done hunting, we drive back home--now it's 40 miles (round trip).---So we're home unloading etc. and the wife asked words to the effect--"where's your (long sleeve) shirt"?----Then 5 minutes or so later she asked words to the effect "where's your sand scoop"?----I was really in a corner so I had to say "well, I guess I left them over there".----Now this is my beloved old sandscoop that we're talking about here--it's been thru the "wars" with me for 25 years--I love that old sandscoop!---So I said--lets go back over & get 'em--see if they are still there.----So she said, well I'm going to start dinner--you go on ahead & go and see if they are still there that you can get them.----I think what she was really saying was---"you left 'em--you go get 'em"--BY YOURSELF! (sounds kinda familiar) :biggrin: Women have a way of getting even! :tongue:---So I make the 40 mile round trip drive & sure enough, my long sleeve shirt is hangin on the fence just where I left it at the rodeo grounds.---I get to the lake & my sandscoop is NOT where I left it.--Then I see some people useing it and I explained my situation & they relinquished it to me. (whew).------Then I get to go back home & have supper (before it gets cold)! -----That's ONE of the reasons my wife & I love each other---we know neither one of us is perfect! :biggrin: :thumbup: ---------Del
 
Your lucky having a wife like you do fine Sir... She is a keeper..
 
Thanks Elton, I think so to.----And I'm too old for her to get rid of me so we plan on staying married!!!!! :biggrin:
 
Where's that Larry with his story? :sleepy: Huh??---Wha??---Oh yeah, WHERE'S THAT LARRY WITH HIS STORY??? :crylol:-----:biggrin:
 
Ok guys it's not time to stop yet......gotta have more stories.....think.....think....it'll come back to you.......jUST THOUGHT OF ONE FROM THE BEACH........I was walking olong the beach swinging the whites bhid when this lady comes up to me and says if you find a big diamond ring it's mine ,I lost one in this area.I told her I hear that one a lot......she says no I mean really two summers ago but it's to deep by now and she walks off smiling and happy.....I thought wow she must have really lost one...searched that area of beach pretty well but no ring....hh.......Dan
 
I'm not much of a story teller Del.............sorry.
 
Aw c'mon Larry!!!------Dan, think you say?--That thinkin's what always gets me in trouble! :tongue:----I'll bet that lady at the beach felt better after telling you that because she probably felt she at least had someone "trying" to find her ring.-----Speaking of rings--here's a "short" story.---A gentleman back home (rancher/farmer) asked my wife & I if we would come out to his place & try and locate a ring he had lost--he said he thought he had lost it in his garden.---So we said "sure we'd do it".---In a couple of days or so when we drove out there he told us that he had lost his other ring--his wedding band (I'll bet he got in trouble over that one).--He was pretty sure he had lost the second ring down in a field where he was running a back hoe.----Anyway, we searched the garden for awhile then Patsy went down to the field while I continued searching the garden area for the first ring.---She located his second ring (wedding band) without a whole lot of trouble & came on back up to the garden.---We both searched that whole garden area "every way till Sunday" and COULD NOT find that first ring.---We kinda decided that he probably didn't even loose it there--just thought he did.-----Anyway, we got one out of two & both he & his wife were so thankful (and happy)--made us feel pretty good to.----He called us up at the house a few days later & they wanted to take us out to dinner.--We were getting ready to head out to the SW for the winter so we thanked him kindly but that we would take a "rain check".-----That old gentleman has since passed on from cancer but we will always remember him & his wife (and that experience). :) ----------Del
 
Here is a funny story......... About 10 years ago I was invited to go detecting with a fellow in the Southern part of my State.. He was a friend of a friend.
(I did not know him).......... I agreed, phone calls were made, and myself, and another hunting buddy of mine drove down.

We agreed to meet in a park in the middle of town. He had permission from the Mayor to hunt it. Now just on the North side of this central located park (Town Square) was a small coffee shop. My friend and I went in as we were 30 minutes early and ordered a coffee to kill time.

We could see the park and was watching for this guy who we didn't know and we wondered if he would have a detector with him, or something so we knew what he looked like. Decided we would finish our coffee take our gear to the park and wait there. He could tell it was us "We had Detectors" .....

John my buddy looked out the window and said 'Would you look at that"......... Outside in the park was a guy dressed in full camo hunting outfit....with a Desert hat that had the shield all around the back and sides LOL... A vest that had more stuff hanging from it than I ever seen in my life on one man..A Shovel on a rope tied around his waist and dragging behind him, and I swear a Big Thermos Bottle hanging from a cord around his neck..Hahahahahahahah It was a site for sore eyes (NOT) looked like a real dooofus..........This clown looked at his watch several times , paced back and forth and went to his car parked on the square several times. He opened the trunk took out something...I then saw his detector..... It was some kind of old detector on a wooden shaft with about a 15" coil on it..LOL Hahahahahh I started laughing till I about cried, John just sat there in shock shaking his head..John said you suppose that's the guy were supposed to meet.... I said yep it is...I'm leaving.. But John if you want to hunt with him go on Man..I will pick you up in a couple hours.. I'll go find something to do........ John looked at me and said................" If you think for one minute I'm detecting with that nut".Your crazier than he looks.Lets get out of here...........We left laughing all the way to the car.........remember he didn't know what we looked like either.... To this day John threatens to buy me one of those Dessert hats..................LOL... I know your thinking we were unsociable......Yea we were............ Live and learn my friends.. I still get tears in my eyes from laughing so hard when I think of this little trip..LOL......
 
Thanks Elton, that story's still working. Cracked me up.
HH
Scott
 
Del, thanks for the story.....it makes you feel good when you can help someone out.....hh......Dan
 
Elton, That is funny I can picture that site now,hahaha that big coil would probably go deep that's why he had the shovel hahaha The reason he was dragging it, he was to tired to carry it from digging those deep deep holes and false signals hahahaha.......Thanks for the story..........hh...........Dan
 
You think he may be the guy that got my parks shut down to detecting:crylol:. They said he had a big shovel.:lmfao:
 
I can remember when I was supposed to meet a couple of guys for a day of treasure hunting. It was about ten years ago and I had my home made detector with me and dressed to blend in with the trees and such so not to bring much attention to myself, and.................:rofl:..............:laugh:
 
Larry.....hahaha.....good one......hh.......Dan
 
:lmfao: :rofl: Oh you guys are crackin me up!---See there Elton, by being so selective in who you hunt with you could have been a good friend with ole Larry YEARS ago.-----Larry's a "good ole boy"---homemade 'tector & all!!!---Gotta get me some of that camo stuff---no shovel though--NO SIR! :crylol: :thumbup: ------Del
 
This forum's great ! I'll be a pro in no time. Okay guys, slowly cuz I'm writing this down, ninja mask, broom handle, trash can lid coil cover, cast iron belt lanyard...Geez there's a lot more stuff needed to look like a terasure hunter than I thought. Hey Larry...you got any camo fatigues on sale over there ? So many accessories and so little time. What's that ? Where am I going to hunt ? Ummmm...???
 
And BESIDES THAT---Larrys wearin levis & runnin a V3 these days!!!!---I'll hunt with him any old day---I might be able to (finally) learn somethun bout 'tectin!-----Hey Larry, when you comeing to OR?----We'll "gear up" at GI Joes & "hit the field"!! :biggrin: :thumbup: ---------Del
