Lake Erie hunt

[mham2]

First time in the water since I got back from florida .Went to Headlands state park beach.was greeted by a very nasty metal detector person. He wanted to know if I was from out of town, I said yes and he said he didn't think I belonged to his club. I asked him if I had to belong to hunt at this state park beach , he said no but he didn't like outsiders Cherry picking his beach. I told him he was the most unfriendly metal detector person I ever met and I intended to stay and do a little picking I'm sure anybody that lives in this area knows him very large and he said he lives 5 minuets from there. Not a very good spokes person for the hobby . I have been doing this for a while and never met anyone quite like this guy.I did get lucky 14k ring , large artcarved tungsten carbide ring and a decorative cross

Look at those great finds he missed with bad kharma. What goes around comes.around

You were rewarded with some fine keepers for holding your tongue and not lowering yourself to his levels.
But one thing for sure, there is no doubt about how he feels about HIS beach!

 

[kfetters]

Nice ring!!

I will be flying back from Japan in late Aug and will be spending a week in Cleveland before flying to Tampa for 3 weeks. I am planning on bringing my detector if you want to hook up and hunt one day.

He might as well get used to it. Lets hope he isnt the club president or a general representation of the club. Sounds like he couldnt handle the competition and nothing says ouch like showing off your finds.

I'm living in Cleveland and a member of the local MD club. I'll be honest, I don't know of any particularly large guys. Do you mean tall or portly? Either way, not a very nice representative for what is actually a very nice club. If I had run across you I would have said hello and shot the bull with you for a bit. Great finds! I have not been so lucky on these crappy Lake Erie beaches yet... they are fairly laden with aluminum around here.

 

[bettendorfJoe]

First come, first serve!

Nice finds...Should have shown him what you found!

Sad there are so many mean people out there.....but you did well........just because he chose to be mean, does not mean you need to change and become mean like this sad guy.
