Any lady detectorists out there?

[Dick Stout]

Just forget it......

[coinnut]

Geeze you are impatient Mr. Stout.

[del]

Where were you going with this ??

We have a few more than accomplished hobbyists here Mr. Stout , including the owner of this great forum.

Wow Dick!

You are, again, offending quite a few great metal detectorists here with your posts.

What is your agenda this time?

[giant056]

Very odd post for sure

[Tony Two-Cent]

I guess I missed it.

I understand completely! LOL!

I understand completely! LOL!

Do you?

Oh forget it, you men are all the same! (sarcasm)

Yes I am a woman... a very cool, stable, down-to-earth woman. Most of us are

Actually I'll go ahead and say it- he's frustrated that he didn't get any responses, he rarely does because the main reason he posts here at AD is to draw people to his website.

You know I have not been here long enough to know better, so I'll risk saying this and hope not to offend anyone. I know nothing about Dick Stout however I was curious enough after all the banter to find his website and I have to tell you after a quick peek there was a lot of good stuff there! Again I hope my naivety doesn't bite me in the butt. I'm just saying.......

Tom, If a forum has to trap you here to keep you, then it isn't a forum I want to call home. We don't get mad if people visit other places, but we don't want to be the place other forums harvest members from. A lot of places on the web have great information, but the attitudes of some of those people make it worth just getting the information and not joining. I have been to other forums that the level of hostility is unreal. I just don't want to hang with those kind of people, that is why I came back here. Here is home base for me and hopefully other members feel the same way.

I have never looked at or joined any other forums ever before, this is my maiden voyage. With that being said, I have no desire or reason to look further. You guys and gals have all been very "family-like", helpful, entertaining, knowledgeable, not only to me, but to each other. I'm here to stay! (when I'm not out hunting).

Tom I certainly respect and commend you for bringing up your comment as Coinnut said we don't hold tethers on anyone , they are free to visit here or any other forum , "so no offense taken" . Most if not all the staff here have been either long time members or staff members on other forums in the past. We've seen or experienced things/ issues on them to know what we don't want on this forum so we try to be a different while still being friendly , open to have respectful honest discussion ,helpful and fun.

Mr. Stout was a renown and knowledgeable hobbyist in the metal detecting world years ago and sometimes raises important issues from time to time. However now he seems to spend a lot more time and effort on stirring the pot on forums to raise awareness about his website/blog which I was informed is "about him" and in my opinion not so much about the hobby anymore. Don't get me wrong I think he could be a valuable source of information and mentor to many new people getting into the hobby because of his knowledge and experience but I'm sad to say I don't think his focus or desire is to share that part of himself anymore.I certainly wish Mr. Stout the best in any future endeavor .
