I'm sorry about that dude man... I understand.

I have a guy who works for me that is just as clingy, needy, lonely, and freaking irritating. He's a "close talker" and "arm grabber" too, jeez I want to just clobber his ass most the time.

But - he prolly just needs a fella to chat with for a minute. Buy yourself some headphones and make like he's a bother and ignore him... smile and turn your back with headphones on and walk away... he'll figure it out.

Just tell him "Stay on this side so you don't block my swing". He's going to be there every time you show up, so just direct him to a location you can tolerate and let him walk along and converse while you detect.

Put a Nuclear warning sticker on your coil and wear some aluminum foil like bathing trunks. Maybe a hat too. Might never see the guy again. ;D

Heres an idea, and it doesn't involve whacking him or wearing tinfoil bathing suits.

Try listening to the guy. Actually listen. Shut off your detector, set aside your self-centered treasure lust for a few minutes and listen to the guys story. Bring an extra sandwich or cold drink and offer him one. Maybe you'll learn some good tidbits, or get another hunting lead.

Then after you give him a little dignity and respect, let him know, firmly, that you want to get back to work and you'd like to see him the next time you come.

And Don't forget to Find out What His Property looks like,
and IF by Chance you can detect it ;)

At worse, he feels bad for saying No after that,
and Avoids you out of Embarrasment.

He's looking for someone to talk to. You must have seemed approachable. Some people are just lonely.

I don't have that problem. Look mean, even from far off so it's rare people would want to talk to me.

My normal look - >:(

:D

How about a big gob of vaseline that will slowly melt and run down and drip off your chin? ;D

Too bad you don't have an old detector you could give him so he could hunt while you are hunting. Not the best machine you understand and take it back when you leave. Then you could hunt in peace.

Not that BIG of a gob. Just enough to look like you have some of the creeping crud the little one get and the snot runs all the way down their chin. If they can stand their talking to you with that on your face, they ARE going to talk to you anyway so you might as well stop and talk.

Wipe your nose on your hands before you try to shake hands. That might work. ;D
