O.K. just curious here!

[OldJerseyGirl]

Like all of you I read all the posts every day to learn and see what others find. I always like to see what machine you use and where you are located. I wonder if everyone likes to know these things too. Some of you do not put what state you live in, but most do have what kind of detectors you use.
Am I the only one who does this?

I think most of us take in the extra info to compare and contrast our own methods, equipment and environment. It's one way to gauge our approach to detecting and see what works for most people, or at least what most people like or perceive to be the right way to go for their particular style, hunt-types and area.

OJG, I enjoy it as well and wish members would list their states. It is amazing how the attitude is different regionally. Still a noticeable difference in the Northern and Southern approach and mentality when it comes to many things. I tell you the ones that really fascinate me are the guys in the UK etc. Some of their finds are of an age that is nearly beyond our comprehension in the States. Could you imagine finding a Roman Coin. I would stroke. Hope you have a great weekend....... Really hope to post some good finds this weekend ha ha. Just waiting on hay and turned ground now. Best of luck from a Hillbilly in the Volunteer State.

I list everything and way ohers would do the same, but to each their own. Maybe they think we will come find them and hunt out there spots if they say where they are from. If someone wants to hunt with me here your welcome to, the pickings are slim and the ground is backfill with lots of trash. In fact i wish others would clean up the garbage so i can concentrate on the good targets that are always deep.

I think it should be mandatory to list what state or what country you are from, just like a users name is.

Someone will post it snowed 10 inches here. Well, where is here? Is that extraordinary where here is, or are you just stating a fact.

I find to amusing that some people don’t give it a thought that not everybody is from where they are from. That is why my signature has my general location in it.

So if I posted that it snowed ½ of an inch last night, everybody knows that is a rare event or they will think I am a liar, cause it don’t snow (or rain lately) in South Texas.

Thank you OJG.......I am new to MD and have read, followed to learn.
I have limited experience in upstate NY and my plan was always to search in Ecuador, my home for half the year.......
Much history here, not to mention the beaches and native gold.
Hoping to get to the beach this weekend..........plan on posting any interesting finds.

Some people are just paranoid that everyone will come claim-jump their spots. Some people just don't think about the fact that we don't know where they live.

I do find it interesting to compare the finds and equipment of different regions too. On that same note, I don't bother reading the finds from the members in England or Europe. Might as well be reading about finds on the moon. Those types and ages of finds simply don't exist here and I have a less than zero chance of ever finding one.

 

[JUNKER]

It's nice to see where people are from and maybe they are nearby I also like to see what people are using and finding with different MD's But I think so think someone is watching so they don't put where they are from what they don't know is if they were watching they already know where your from from the tec from your car to your phone to the computer.

Just my two cents HH and have a good day

 

[treasurehound]

I agree as well. A lot of people ask questions about hunting but it is hard to help when we don't know where they live or what kind of machine they are using.

 

[OldJerseyGirl]

No I am not trying to find their hunting places. And I think it would be nearly impossible anyway. I just like to see what is found in the north, south, east and west. I wonder if more of a certain thing is found in a different part of the country. Of course, some things are obvious, like the civil war finds.

Happy Hunting everybody!

 

[Old Dude]

If I like a post, an avatar or even a name, I usually look at their profile. I like when people list their specifics as well. I find I am the first to look at a brand new person's profile ( after mods or admins ) many times. Thanks for the post.

I remember stopping at a gas station in Iowa years ago and the attendant looked at my license plate and said.......
"Friendly Manitoba....Is that some kind of joke or something?"
"No, it's a province in Cana.........."
"A what?"
"Never mind!"

Outside of Canadians, I can't imagine anyone caring where I'm from.
Even a few people from Minnesota thought we lived in Igloo's.
"Um, No. we have basically the same weather as you." Lol.
Now that we've got our NHL team back, people have heard of Winnipeg before.
Heck, we were known as the "Chicago of the North" in the early 1900's.
It's still a S-hole as far as I'm concerned but hey, it's home.
Cheers,
Dave.

Hello everyone. I too enjoy seeing everyones finds and where people are located, not an exact location but a general area is nice. I also like seeing the equipment being used since I am new and just bought my first machine a week ago it was nice seeing others using the same before I finally purchased it.

Muddy, an old friend told me the story of how he had gotten tired of the headaches of owning his own sheet metal business and sold it to his son. Smart, cause he now could still work in the trade and what son is going to fire his father? Anyway, he and his wife took a vacation and drove from Oklahoma to Alaska. He said that was the greatest thing he had ever done and often described the beautiful scenery they saw. Not all Americans are unappreciative or ignorant of your country. Many of us wish our country was still as wild and unspoiled as yours. Be proud of your heritage wherever you are from!

What! You don’t all live in Igloo’s?

That’s like all Texans ride a horse and live on a big ranch.

 

[BIGSCOTT]

yeah its nice to know where finds come from, and when people talk alot about a certain subject, did they get their knowledge from books or is it right out their front door?
i also like to try and figure out people that have more than one handle, some people have three or even four, hmmmmm is this so they can carry on a conversation with themselves? some figure if the mods boots one of them off they still have a way in, if the mod's warn one of them sometimes they come in under another handle and defend the other, but the mod's aint dummies they usually figure it out.
i also like to figure out who the authors are on here, as there are many, but i respect their privacy, if they want you to know who they are they will tell you.

 

[DixieLandMan]

I try to put information on where I am from but will not disclose the actual grid coordinates since people will know where I do my hunting. Although most of it is on private land.

Lol.

back in my hippie days I hitch hiked from the Canadian east coast to Vancouver Island. I have to say the Canadians I caught rides with were the friendliest people I ever came across. Loved your country, loved your people, loved your parks.
Now so no one yells at me, I choose to reside in the USA. & I no longer hitch rides. Too many close calls. am smarter now.

 

[Msbeepbeep]

I would post more info but, I'm e-challenged and it is not easy for me.
