Hi TH'ers:
I have decided to find out if you have had comical happenings in metal detecting happen to you that you would like to share.I have added 2 recently to my list of head turning happenings I would like to mention, I hope you like. When aluminum cans had the old type tabs(Pull tabs) the refresment companys came out with their contest giving away anything from free pizza slices from a free adicional soda can. Now the non prized cans would tell you this is not a winner.Not to long ago I was scanning for over an hour a local park not getting for my effort a little less than 2 memorial encrusted cents.Feeling beatten and ready to call it quits I got my last seamingly promising signal. I dug with determination a 4 inch hole only to get a pulltab Ill be darn the tab reed "Please Try Again" ARRGH
. On another occation I was returning from a hunt at a different part a guy stops me since I developed a habbit to carry my detector on my shoulder and told me.Hey chap do me a favor and take a picture of that guy eating over at that table he told me jokingly. I looked at him puzzled and said fotograf and where in tarnations do I find a camera now besides I told him I can't take pictures I have hand tremors from my handicap.The lady next to him says to him I told you that is no camera and he says woops and they both burt out laughing. On another moment a lady stops me on my way back home from town calling me rather insistently and says to me can you please pass that over there and tell me if I own you anything.I looked at the area and saw a large blade of grass inbetween the cement sidewalk.I ask her... Did you lose a ring or a coin? She nods no then I said... What type of metal would you like me to find? Metal!?! Then it hit me and I grined and told her... Mam this not a grass trimmer this is a metal detector. DUUUHH!! 
She was so shammed she said oh sorry and beat a retreat inside her home. What will they come up next and confuse my poor detector with.

Talk about making a good first impression ! 
We laughed and went our own directions looking up in the sky the whole time .
