I love to have a BLAST while detecting !
The funner the better ! My buddy Scott and I rank on each others 'family' members, we punch each other, Push each other over when one has just dug a way cool find, Heck, we even have a song for the great hits that turn out to be crap.. I hanker for a hunka... happydance02 I've seen him fall in a swolen almost frozen river, AND keep DETECTING ! .. I started this hobby for the thrill of finding old stuff..Then I started learning the history of this cool stuff, and got addicted.. Then i met Scott.. never met the dude, and met him on another M.D site, we went out in my boat to a small island, Before I left, I told my wife about what i knew about this guy before i ended up M,I,A from some PSYCHO.. !
Today, getting out, with anyone i've met on forums, is just the same killer fun ! Finding the goods everytime is awesome, but sometimes, it's just getting out with a friend that counts.. rain, shine, snow, sleet, none of it matters, we've been out in below zero, with a wind off the water, that just chills you to the bone, heck, my brand new truck couldn't take all the ice blowing in off the pond, and stalled out a mile down the road,, It was still a GREAT day ! Scott got an indian, and I got a wheat.. I don't recall what Bowser got that day.. it was freezing, and I don't think he made the whole hunt, Close though..I've watched both shows three times, and besides the 'calling' of items, and BAD 'acting' if you will.. I would hunt with them dudes ANYTIME ! I also looked at thier plugs, yes three times, and for the places they were at, and what we see of thier plugs ...after.. they dig, with 10 years exp behind them both.. They wouldn't leave divots.. I mean, how, or why would they, ? Dan posted earlier, that my plugs were great, The day I was with him at the 'horse place' I was ashamed of my plugs, But didn't want to stop digging.. The ground was very very dry, and a good plug was not in the cards, the next day, I hit a schoolyard, and never dug again where people could see my summer digging mistakes..Ive hit parks, and have seen these little brown spots everywhere.. at the beginning, I didn't know what they were, but when i realized, I never went back, didn't want to be blamed.., Keep it fun kids !! Otherwise, it's like a job...
