I guess it would get on a mans nerves. Seldom had it happen but I don't hunt in town very often. Lots of kids come to see what you are finding and can get on your nerves even if you love kids. .....Guess it is a simple as you can't fix stupid. Let them show their :censored: and hunt on. Some silly laws say you fire shots in their direction or even bust em in the head with your digger. ....Go figure.:angry5:

Look... I already know that you are younger than most here, so here's my advise (Please read disclaimer below too:icon_thumright:)

Be confrontational, man up young buck... Ask in a loud and threatening voice... Do you know who I am!!!!!!

When they say no....

You say... Good, let's keep it that way

Then you could either flip the bird, or egg them and run like the wind :laughing7:

Well only put up with one person, same person I figured would be out at this time. Honking and waving in the smart alac way, didn't even pay attention. Dug $8.76 in clad. Going out again later to a few different spots, than i'll post finds for this weekend. Dug my first silver, and some other cool things.

I was hunting a park when 4 pre 10's came towards me started giggling to themselves.
A few days later at the same place, they returned. One walks in front of me and launches about 20 pennies. Seems to have really tickled the other 3! Such a moment that was.
Told them all to go hit their moms purse for quarters, and come back.

When I started searching beaches in Milford Connecticut many years ago, I was one of the very few with a detector, and stupid people in cars asking in I was searching for gold mines. I did not response.
