Hi Foks; I was asked if I ever got stuck in the sand.!! I told him that it was only certain types of sand so be carefull ok. he replied, you must know a lot about sand huh. I replied, yep,I sure do. He said thanks and left. I wonder if he ever figured the other type out??

Great stories, I think the money goes to Gene, so far! I was out one morning and an older fellow came up to me and said "do you find much with that thing?" "Put it this way" I said, "I'll never have to buy a fishing sinker or tent peg again". We both had a good laugh and he went off happy.

Hey mister are you looking for mines?
Yeah kid . Virginia beach is heavily mined during tourist season. Tell your folks. Maybe you can stay home tomorrow.

#2 Are you looking for worms?

Yeah , the ones with metal plates in their heads.

This one's not mine, its from my Grandfathers. He was detecting several years ago in a park and a lady asked him how his detector sucked the targets out of the ground. He was using a Whites coin master and she thought the coil sucked up the target and up the tube and dropped it in the control box.

what i hate is when they toss a hand full of pinnies 10 feet in front of you when your not looking and laugh when you start to dug them all up.

If I recall correctly, one of the Va. Beach regulars said something about hunting for landmines to a rude woman a few years ago, could be how that rumour got started. I've used that line on several ocassions since I read it here and it is pretty effective at getting rid of pesky kids and slow witted adults. (to be fair I did pull an old mortar round out of the surf a few years back off of a beach that was used for artillery practice in WWII so there is some basis for my quip)

This happen several years ago, just after watching the movie Eurotrip.
My buddy and I were just leaving the beach walking up towards the boardwalk.
A middle aged man in a great hurry approached us and asked "Which way to the Nude Beach".
We told him it was down all the way to the left side of the beach.
He just took off down the beach.

 

[kered]

I was once detecting a pine grove that leeds onto the beach and an old guy came up to me and said that if i start the damn thing it might cut the grass better, he thought it was a brush cutter

 

[Cupajo]

He might have been an old treasure hunter pulling your leg!

PS Did he look like me?

Down here in Mexico we had a sharp earth quake one year. I was out the next day and was being shadowed by a Mexican woman for almost 20 minutes. Finally I made a point to make eye contact with a very concerned look on her face she motioned for me to remove my head phones. In good broken English she asked if I could tell when the next quake would be and how strong. In my best concerned face I said in the next two day and maybe an "ocho" 8.....She took off like a rocket down the beach.................

A number of years ago, I was walking east on Rockaway Beach early one morning. The sun was in my eyes so I was wearing sun glasses. Well here i am swing away and as I passed a lifeguard chair, I heard a young girl sitting in the chair say to her friend, "Is that guy blind?" I guess it takes all kinds.

Please stop using the word LOOTING on this site.

Looting is illegal and an offense that can result in you being shot.

Words are powerful. Our hobby needs good press and the word looting is not good press.

Steve: Perhaps you need to start posting in the Non-Surf Pirate area of the Forum.

I was in advertising for almost 35 years and know about PR. With metal detecting being banned at several beaches and cities around the country, we need to put our hobby in a better light. I know we know what we mean but it still is not a good idea to put a negative on our hobby.

OK...maybe I'm being a bit touchy on this...but LOOTING is not looked at as a good thing to be doing.

I like the question being asked......maybe we should say the "L" word when we mean looting.....just like the "N" word or the "F" word.

How's this.......What is the Dumbest thing you've heard while doing the "L" word?

I guess not.......oh well

Maybe I just have cabin fever and can't wait to get out. Never mind.
