Hey Ranger, when you hunt in town like that do you draw a crowd? or do people just go on and not pay attention? There are a couple of places in town here that I would like to hunt but I don't like the thought of a bunch of eyeballers.

Hi Blade310, 99.9% of the people that you talk to say that they always wanted to detect, but just never got in to it.And the other 0.009% of people just don't make a big poop anyway. If you are not braking any law what dose it matter what people think. Do your thing, Be happy don't worry.

I do draw an audiance a lot of the time but mostly what it is , is a kid magnet. Kids are enormously curious about what you're doing and how you do it. Earlier in the week I went to a new park in town and ended up with 6 kids following me around. They were no trouble, just curious. Other than than, people ask if i"m finding anything and the most common question is what's the most interesting / valuable thing I've found. I may or may not come close to the truth on those. All in all, they tend to be friendly and curious.

I see nothing but envy in the eyes of all who see me detecting. They wanna be us..

I used to feel funny when people would see me out detecting, but not any more. Like MrGee says, most people are curious and say "that's neat, I always wanted to do that". I think the rewards far outweigh the price!

 

[oldranger]

Yeha it seems the kids are the ones that
really hag around which is fine with me
as long as they arent obnoxious or in
the way

Yea I guess i'm still a little new at detecting I'm sure I'll lighten up down the road. I did have a couple little guys come up to me the other day and ask if I was a metal detection guy, I said I sure am. I let them both use my pro pointer on a target and they each found a penny. I let them keep the pennys. when I left they were talking about getting there parents to get them a detector. That was kinda cool.

Hey I did that last weekend! Three hunts and only sites I could walk to. I did great and even found a silver coin where I wasn't expecting one. This weekend I visited my most distant site which is 62 miles from home. I drove! Also found a silver coin.

I am surprised how many people come up and ask if I am finding anything, I think McDave hit the nail on the head when he said people are envious of us and our hobby. I am hunting an area right now where the state is clearing land to widen the highway and every time I have been there at least 3 people have pulled off the highway and really went out of their way to see what I was finding.................Bill
