There is something seriously wrong with your link. It causes IE to stop working

[danhughes]

Nitro, every once in a while I get a note from someone who is having this trouble, but it seems to work fine for the vast majority of users.

Let me know if this direct link works:

Thanks!

Same as before. I just let it sit there and finally after a few minutes the home page loaded. I have high speed broudband internet, so this page should've loaded in seconds. I'm trying again to listen. The last session timed out after I clicked on treasures. Something just isn't right.

[danhughes]

So the site loads but the program won't play?

Try right-clicking on the POD symbol and save the link to your computer, then play it from your computer.

If that doesn't work, send me your email address and I'll send the show to you that way.

We'll get this thing licked!

[danhughes]

But do they razz you for metal detecting, or for those shades you're wearing?

i am a little different from most. im on my third wife,, im 40 . this may be why .. i could give a rippin crud what other people think of me or what i do . if you dont like it , tough . see this here is the united states of america . land of the free and home of the brave . that being said if any body wants to poke fun i give them the look

I am with you on this one Russell. lol I am large enough in size that no one bothers me much. I try and be as polite as possible. I figure I am representing the hobby, and should make people feel at ease around me. A lot of times just giving them a compliment on there dog, or well behaved children, or there concern for the park/grass, etc., disarms the situation. So sometimes I have to lie a little. No big deal.

[russellt]

dont get me wrong . im very polite and generally congenial. ive been known to give kids coins , toy cars and some people just want to know what your doing . depending on the sutuation of coarse, i ask folks if they would like to see my finds. i ve met some really nice people.. i am a great ambassador imo, but there is always the matter of homeland security , if you can pick up what im layin down 8)

some people think i am a certified nut to begin with,i would be a challenge too any good headshrinker out there. I don't care what anyone thinks,i'm havin a good time anyway. i try to find humor in everything so i smile a lot .One thing kinda bothers me though,DAVID LETTERMAN has never made me laugh.

[danhughes]

Interesting. How do you get officially Certified? Do you have to take a test?

[BOWSER]

I had a similar experience - true story. My detector (Fisher CZ-5) uses two 9-volt batteries. I carried two loose spare batteries in my pants pocket, and midway through a hunt my leg felt like it was on fire.

The batteries had jostled around in my pocket until their electrodes contacted each other and they turned red-hot almost immediately.

So I don't do that anymore.
