Howdy RJ!
You asked about funny stories, and I have a plethora of them I could share. So many, in fact, it is tough to select only one. But here goes!
Me and Pipster were out on a night hunt, musta been around midnight, and we were visiting a school tot lot covered in pea gravel. That is gonna be funnier in a minute! We had our headlamps going and were working our way through the place when nature suddenly calling rather insistantly. I looked around and saw that there wasn't anybody around, and the nearest house was hundreds of feet away. This wasn't one of those situations where you can hang on until a more appropriate venue, because I really had to go real bad all of a sudden.
I told Pipster I was going to take care of a little business and turned off my headlamp. It was a really dark night without a hint of moonlight and this tot lot was way back from anything resembling a light source. I figured I could resolve the situation without much fuss. So I walked over to a lonesome corner of the lot and made myself to home.
With a tremendous sense of relief, I got myself put back together and grabbed my detector. As I turned to head back into the tot lot, my coil passed over a puddle I'd created. And it beeped!
There was a real feeling of chagrin as I passed the coil over that particular spot again, and sure enough, there was a strong signal right in the middle of that puddle. I couldn't believe the irony taking place. I turned my headlamp back on and probed with my Lesche. Almost immediately I caught the glint of gold!
Working carefully to extract the item, not wanting to get anything on myself, I soon pulled a gold ring out of that puddle. It was astounding, bizarre and bewildering, but there it was, gleaming brightly in the light of my lamp, with the point of my Lesche sticking through where a finger oughtta be!
I walked over to where Pipster was working and told him to see what I'd found. I was holding the ring, still on the Lesche, as I got close enough for him to reach out with his hand and take it from the blade. He examined it approvingly and everything was just peachy until he asked Where'd you find this?
I replied right in the middle of that puddle I made!
The expression on his face changed like he'd been slapped. One second he was all smiles and approval, the next instant he was a grimace of disgust and annoyance as he shoved the ring back toward me.
you could have told me that before I grabbed it!
Yeah, I replied, "
ut you didn't ask soon enough!
I don't know rightly whether Pipster ever got over that particular incident, but he aint quite as quick to take hold of any of my finds nowadays!!!
Blessings,
