While detecting yesterday,, my wife pointed out another fellow detecting the gravel lots ,, and along the split raill fence,, my wife thought he was using a weedeater as fast as he was sweeping it,, I stopped for a while,, saw he wasent using headphones,, and made the assumption he was a first timer,, about the time i was about to go see how he was doing,, he shut the machine off,, THREW it in the back of his brand new Jeep ,, and tore off down the road. Coulndt see what kind of machine it was,, but it looked to be one where the battery pack went around the waist,, I went about my business,, found 74 coins,, A wheat and a 46 Rosie,, the silver drought is over for now,, then we got the winds from IKE,, we had some wind gust up to 60 MPH,, and it made me think,, people who ride out hurricances either are idiots or have a death wish,, not sure which,, maybe both

Well coinhog, you really hit the jackpot this time 
Before you go detecting next time, get you a cassette recorder with big speaker. Next time the neighbor uses his weed eater.....record it on a 5 min loop tape. Take it detecting with you. Go to one of those places you know you'd get kicked out, turn it on and do your detecting. Folks will think you belong there! Shoot, that might really work. One time on the Navy base, I wanted to take a pic of a cool plane but knew I'd get stopped. I voiced my dilemma to one of the Navy guys who handed me a clip board and said "every time you take a photo write a bunch of stuff on the clip board, nobody will bother you".......they didn't!

I prefer to wear orange vest and use orange cones. When those ask I show them rusty nails, let them touch and say "Be careful! They can be infected with AIDS!!" It works well. People are so much unbelievably paranoid here that it is very easy to scare them. Especially men, believe it or not.
