A quiz and my 1st ctx beach hunt (3rd ever)

[Beyonder]

Rant:

The most interesting thing at the beach in seaside heights NJ was:

A: The waves of the ocean.
B.The various cultures of the people from all over.
or
C. The guy with the metal detector.

This should be an easy one. But, really can't people leave me alone to detect without asking the same dang questions over and over again? Are people that bored that they can't enjoy themselves at the beach without harassing someone?

"Hey, you ever find anything with that?" Yea, Jimmy Hoffa. Yea relaxation. Yea a challenge.
"Hey, how much one of those things cost?" Your soul. An arm and a leg. $50,000(I use this one on the kids).
"Hey, can I ask you a few questions?" No comment. I only take questions in written form(my fav, this shuts them right up). Yea, give me your email address and I will get back to you.

I do sometimes take the time to talk, but I take detecting very seriously and I need a lot of concentration. I just wanna be left alone!!
End rant:

2 hours a day 5 days hundreds of people on the beaches.

Beach totals:
59 pennys
17 nickels
36 dimes
50 quarters

4 pieces of junk jewelry.

The ctx was really great on the beach. I found older stuff deep, 1966 dime and a 1965 quarter. No silver or gold. I know the ctx was doing well because I was find a lot of stuff that was missed by the "veteran beach guy"(that's what he called himself) missed with his whites mxt. I was digging EVERYTHING 02 conductive and up and my desc was open starting at the 25 ferrous line to 4 ferrous. I will never do that beach again. So much foil and pull tabs.

By the way, I am looking to partner with anyone in the NE PA area. Shoot me a PM. I would love to go to new areas and offer my vast expertise

Someone would have to pay me to go to Seaside Heights or Belmar!!

My favorite questions from idiots......and my replies:

"Can I ask you a question" ..... You just did, do you want to ask another?!?!
"Uhhhh, find any gold with that thing"..... No, go away!
"Is that a geiger counter?".... say you really ARE as dumb as you look!

**BUZZZZZZIT I'm sorry, that's not the right answer. However, get this lovely zinc penny as a parting gift.

PS. I love your snappy answers to stupid questions.

Obviously that fact that people are approaching you on the beach is your own darn fault. I never have that problem because I dress so I look unapproachable.

My wife always says, "You look like an idiot!" I say, "GREAT!"

I drag a cow bell on a 20 foot chain and I wear a cardboard sign that says "I have Leprosy, Hemmorhagic fever, Tuberculosis, necrotizing fasciitis and vaginal warts, approach at your own risk."

Seems to do the trick.

I have thought about having a shirt made. "yes it is a metal detector no I am not finding any thing". With those headphones on I just act like I can't hear most of the time. and keep moving some times I will stop to talk for a little while just depends on the day.

DOC is right on the money. Proudly showing off by wearing a necklace made of pull tabs that you have found also helps.

I find that hunting really early or late seems to be your best bet.

When I am in the sea and am asked what I am looking for I say 'electric fish' usually does the trick and they clear out pretty quick. Just my mad English sense of humour but it works for me especially if you have a scared look on your face!

I'm waist deep in the water and some dumb shit will ask "Is that thing waterproof" What the "F"

"No it's not. I just like the tingly feeling it gives me when I get it wet." "Here's your sign!"

Well, if there are that many tabs and foil, you can bet there is gold jewelry there. That sounds like a place that;s not been hunted much. Better go back and try again.
