Dying, wounded animal......:surprised:

[silversmith]

I joke around a lot as you guy's know by now, many times I've referred to my Lobo ST as a Rubber Ducky. But last night I was air testing it when the thought came "this detector really sounds like a dying, wounded animal..... Now you guys that detect with buddies don't have this worry, but I wonder if using this detector in the wild alone, without headphones, might just be hazardous to your health? Hey, when I hunted for varmits, I used calls to call in preditors. They didn't sound all that much different than a Lobo ST..... Just what I need, to call in a bunch of hungry Coy-dogs..... Or how about a big starving Cougar....... You know, maybe I'll go down to the Novelty store and buy a mask of a real bad looking dude with really big angry eyes, and wear it on the back of my head. They say Big bad-a.s.s cats (Cougars, no!, the 4 legged kind, Tigers etc) won't attack to the front, only from the back ! This might be serious stuff.....

Wow, Better put that thing away. take no chances

 

[thedaddy]

Agree with you on the sound (excal makes similar sound on bottle tops).

However, the cougars here on our beaches only go after the younger guys...

 

[silversmith]

Yea, I know! Too bad Too. Is that called a "dichotomy?" When I was a young feller, who cared about cougars, but now they're starting to look pretty good. But now, they look at me the way I used to look at them.

Not long I was using my X-T 70 without earphones over a hit when I saw some movement out of the corner of my eye, it was a young gray fox close by running away from me. In a similar case, a friend of mine was letting her boxer run free and upon hearing my detector he runs over and starts sniffing the coil, then up the shaft to the control box and back down again before sitting back on his hunches and looking up at me with a quizzical look on his face like "why in the world are you making those funny noises"? So there could be some merit to your concerns. Another time with the same boxer, I was on my hands and knees looking into a plug hole when he charges over and starts peering into the same hole, he then gives it a good sniffing before checking it out again and finally begins digging. By the time he was done my hole was almost triple its original size and I was beginning to get a wee bit concerned...

That's a good one Mtnmn----Those boxers must think we're FUNNY CREATURES! --------Del

 

[Mtnmn]

Don't know about us, but "Mugsy" the boxer is a true character in every sense of the word!
