So I guess that the beach cleaning machines are the new excuse for why some of us don't find much on the beach huh? Gimme a break !!!!! :biteme:

[size=medium]What's next? I hear it all at my club meetings every month.....lets see....ok here's one..."the price of gold is too high and no one is buying it, hence they aren't wearing it and losing it" or how about this one....."there is too much competition out there everyone is finding all the good stuff and not leaving any when I get there!" So who are these people then? Oh here's a good one....someone told me this once "the beachgoers see us out there with our metal detectors and it makes them think twice about wearing jewelry and carrying coins in their pockets" that was a real comment can you believe that?![/size][size=x-large]Enough already folks !![/size][size=medium] If some of us spent as much time searching and finding as they do wringing their hands and reciting "woe is me" refrains everytime that they have a dryspell then maybe we wouldn't have to be burdened on this forum with all this crying already.....All's i'm saying is when you hit a wall sometimes you just have to walk along it till you come to the end and it will end eventually believe me. and please....please....stop the whining already !!
Oh and for those fine folks that are persevering and finding the good stuff on here....keep doing what you are doing and keep inspiring us all hopefully the "Rainy Day Waldo's" will find a way to get their heads out of their anal cavitie's and just enjoy the hobby or take up something else that will make them miserable so that they can entertain another hobby forum somewhere else....JMHO....HH all....Brian [/size]

I think the topic was a great conversation. I am not blaming anything or anyone other than my detector didn't pass over a great target that day and I wasn't so lucky.

I spend hours and hours hunting each month and I am very happy with my finds. I take tons of stuff to two meetings. In fact I was ecstatic when I dug over 230 coins in two days under a pine tree. (211 were pennies). Why? Because of the curosity of why they were there.

Just like the 10 - 1913 Dog tags for dogs that three of us dug in a farm field - took different days but the collection was in one spot. Heck, there might be more. WHY? HOW? WHEN?

The same questions we ask about the beach cleaning machines.

.....to say that you are going to sell your machine because the beach cleaning machines are getting all the good stuff....I think that's just an absurd excuse....what can I say.

and if that comment was made, I agree that's a bit silly to say the least.

I just looked at the thread as interesting because I sorta wondered myself if those machines picked much stuff up - I was hoping we'd hear from someone that runs one so we get the word right from the horse's mouth so to speak - for me at least it had nothing to do with looking for an excuse for those days I don't find as much.

I never figured they picked up much if anything as far as coins, rings and earrings go, but often thought they must get some watches, necklaces and bracelets caught on the tines.
