Over the years I have had some weird things happen to me while detecting, but none of these situations embarrassed me as much as the other people. Today, I finally got caught doing something I have avoided for five years. I suffer from irritable bowel syndrom( diarrhea to most) and I usually keep it under control. Last night I forgot my medicine and took a chance by going detecting on a super fall day. I was Ok for the first two hours, but about 10 am my stomach rumbled. I have about three minutes when this happens and I quickly looked for the nearest bush. Oh God I thought, all the leaves are off the bushes. The only bush with leaves was twenty feet off a walking path on a steep hill. It was going to have to be the place. I have dodged people for the last five years and I have never been caught. Well today that changed. I no sooner got down to business when an elderly lady walked over the hill and stopped in her tracks when she got a look at me. I was so startled that I crapped in my pants that were on the ground. She did an about face and I headed for the farm.I have had many people ask me to detect with them, so if any of those people read this, they will know why I decline the invitation to hunt with them.

Most of us with a bit of age sometimes get to experience that lovely syndrome. Many a time I have been speeding for the closest McDonald's and praying no body was in the stall. I also dive with both wetsuit and drysuit. Naw! We dont' want to go there do we? I always have emergency 'tissue' in a pocket somewhere. If I grabbed a leaf around here it might be poison Ivy. Now that would ruin your day?
Glad I didn't go with you and have to ride home with you.
Once did a dive looking for a Trooper's portable radio lost in a swamp when wrestling a puke that had taken them on a hour chase. Went in with a buddy, I wore swimming shorts with shoes and he wore a wetsuit bottom, and started detecting. Pretty soon beep beep and we recovered the radio. The rest of the folks there to help us were not really nice. They made both of us ride in the BED of the pickup all the way to the precinct. Clothes and wetsuit were left in the parking lot and we tried not to gross out the locals as we headed towards the showers. (Name witheld by request)

That's a good story to share at Thanksgiving dinner.

I can honestly say that after hunting city parks for a number of years ... spotting someone in the bushes with their trousers down is not an unusual site. I doubt that anyone would even take notice these days.
