For Randy and the others, You may have been to the CMD Forum Hunt if :detecting:....

[Paul(NWO)]

1. You got up at 4AM in another state so you could be there on time.
2. You missed the Do Da Day Festival in Kallamazoo, Mi so you could be metal detecting with the guys.
3. Your wife didn't want to go and met a new friend and she didn't want to leave.
4. You found out that Steve in so az doesn't find everything in the park before everyone else.
5. People from other parts of the country talk funny and we still can understand them. Does that mean that we sound funny to them?
6. Trees can grow 80'-100' high standing in sand.
7. Some places in this country you don't have to have a sledge hammer to get your digging tool into the soil.
8. The pull tabs you were digging were older than the 1983 D Mem you dug.
9. You know why people in Michigan say "No you can't have our cans".
10. You know how you can be blessed by people that you have never met in person.
11. You found a 38 Caliber casing and Steve in so az was embarassed for you because it wasn't a live round.
May God bless you all.

just do not have any accents ourselves

Unless you go to our Upper Pennisula, now they talk funny eh!

You know you're in Michigan for the forum hunt when...


1) From all the previous digging, the area you're hunting looks suspiciously like the surface of the moon.

2) You hand someone 2 bucks for the cup of coffee you bought and find it's only 49 cents

3) Gas is about 30 cents a gallon cheaper

4) "Someone" gives you directions and says, "you can't miss it". (You will)

5) There are more cows, horses and sheep than people

6) You can run over a raccoon a 50 mph and it will live

7) You're the only guy there without an accent

8 ) There's only 1 IH in the park and Mike Mi finds it; if there's only one place in the entire park with 2 in the same hole, he'll find that too.

9) There's only one thing in a sandlot playground and Steve AZ finds it

10) You spend 10 minutes trying to dig up a memorial at 8" and 6 feet away someone finds an IH at 4"

11) You drive through the town of Mendon, sneeze and miss it.

12) You think you're the first one to dig an 1800's B&B, and you're wrong.

13) The humidity is above 70 percent and Steve AZ thinks that's really humid. (and "sweats like a butcher")

14) Women will plan the day to the minute. Men won't.

15) Chicken gumbo tastes better when it's made by someone from Louisiana.

16) "Traffic" is 7 cars waiting at a 4 way stop sign.

17) You feel like you have known everyone for a long time even though it's the first time you've ever met them face to face.

18 ) No one looks like their posts

19) No matter how far you traveled, your brothers and sisters in Christ make you feel like you're home.

20) After you leave, you can't wait til next year



Thanks so much everyone!!! It was a memorable time for sure!!! Next year, let's go to Florida and dig for some Spanish gold
