I turn my machine off and walk up to talk to folks but I am amazed how many guys run away! You'd think i was on fire lol. Of course I want to hunt but five minutes talking won't hurt. I have had guys run past me. I was plodding along slowly and these two guys came up fast and got ahead of me, then slowed down. Right then I found an 8g white gold mens ring in their wake and made sure they knew all about it, showed them and everything. They did end up beating me because the beach narrowed down to nothing except a ten foot wide stretch of their holes and a 4 ft cut on one side and the waves pounding in on the other side. I was too new to know what to do.
