:canadaflag:The Big Bang Theory

[Leslie(nova scotia)]

My late great digging bud, the Birdman used to always tease me about how I detected. He called my pattern the "drunken sailor grid."
Of course I rubbed it in that he swung a Whites and gridded everything off.

Went out today and decided to conduct a serious scientific experiment to support my hypothesis that; (a) a drunken sailor grid is just as effective as a lateral grid (b) that the dsg(drunken sailor grid) is just as fast as a lg(lateral grid) in producing quota.

Here is the test bed.

(a+mdd+bs)+ss divided by Ho x rd @ sf & T= dsg g quota. For the lay man the formula goes as follows;
(age plus metal detector deterioration plus battery strength) added to swing speed divided by hung over times recent drops at school field and time equals drunken sailor grid quota.

Now if you are opposed to that formula the one for the lateral grid quota goes as follows;
ff/rd % uddf x diccohf divided by pl @ pf x T=lg quota.
Again to simplify you the unknowing :
field finds /recent drops and the percentage of an unknown detectorists detected the field times detectorist in complete control of his faculties divided by pure luck at the playing field times time equals lateral grid quota.

With scientific methods adhered to I concluded that the average time for a dsg quota averages out to 2 hours 45 minutes.

The control began as I laterally gridded off the test bed immediately becoming aware that my pencil needed sharpening. No problem as I dug these two pre high school manual operated sharpening devices.

I had to buckle down and exert my massive grey matter.Not be diverted from my experiment...........um did find a buckle too.

Philosophically speaking in a hypothetical manner the incident was totally irrelevant considering all the facts encompassed.

Sheldon! Sheldon! Sheldon! I did by the way,as a byproduct of the experiment unequivocally prove the existence of the "String Theory."

Three hours and 10 minutes later the lg quota was obtained. Lolapalooza! The result was unwarranted in the scientific detectorist community! They think I'm mad....mad you say!

I like it! This being the Christian Forum, I ascribe to the "Seek and Ye shall find" drunken sailor method as well!
The Good Book makes no reference to "grid and Ye shall find" now does it?

I also tend to think that when you allow the Spirit to move you, you will find more than a person that is not led by the Spirit, but prefers to grid in an orderly fashion, negating the Spirits influence and discounting His power.

Tell your buddies to get into the Spirit of detecting and leave the gridwork to the non-believers! Also, its quite obvious that gridding upsets the harmonic balance of the Planet, the electrons emanating from the detector prefer a random pattern which metal (Spirit) is naturally attracted to, ...gridding is for farmers, who rely upon their own effort, (works) science, and monsanto to resist the Spirit and fight against the natural biorythyms of the Planet and show a general lack of faith in the grace bestowed by the Spiritual Force that is available to us..."It is not by works that we are saved, but by grace"

Random sweeping is for hunters that are led and hunt in a Spirit of Grace.
What we find was not earned by us, but generously gifted by our Creator who seems to get a kick out of watching us walk in his Spirit upon this orb he created for us to enjoy...he rewards our Faith in Him by causing our coil to go over a target that he allowed to be dropped by another human throughout time...amazing!...just like when Jesus hollered out to a bunch of guys that were working a grid all night..."You boys catching anything? No?, Cast your net on the other side of the boat"...See? same thing!...Christ called us to be hunters/fishers, led by His Spirit, ready to heed His call and immediately respond to His guidance at a moments notice without rhyme or reason, not some danged old tax collector or pharisee working a grid!

I can hardly compete with the collective wisdom of Leslie and Mud.

Those theories are well-above my intellect, but I did enjoy reading them.

Thanks for the fun boys.

Ha Ha Ha, C Nyal, I have to agree with ya. lol

Either way, coins, relics and junk can be found! Ma

Me, too!! They both told stories with humor that this ole lady really had trouble comprehending! Ma
