Re: Need a little help with M D phrase's
Can you be more specific? What about the phrases do you need to know?
Or do you want to learn more?

Sorry
That's exactly what I want to do... Learn a few more for a project.
Simple 1-3 word phrase
A catch phrase that means metal detecting.( like " Dirt Fishing " )

Re: Need a little help with M D phrase's
I want in on your T-Shirt business Bob! LOL!!
I'm not sure how many you will get that describe the ART of Metal Detecting, but how about just some other general phrases used in metal detecting:
Low and slow (Love that dirt baby, AAHHHHhhhhhhhh............)
Hunt it like you lost it (and pretend like it wasn't yours)
Eat your wheaties (If you want to reap your silver)
Dig 'em all (Let DP Bob sort 'em out)
Good 'un (Nuff said)
Coin poppin' (Clad Master)
Cherry pickin' (not to be confused with nose pickin')
Cherry poppin' (oh wait, urrr... no forget that one)
Beaver tail (not to be confused with the tail at the Silver Slipper)
Wilver (ZOMG I said IT oh NOes!1!1!!!1!!!1)
Dirt Detective (10-4)
Treasure Hunter's Oath (rule number one, don't give away the site... rule number two, never talk about the rules)
Nighthawking (trespassing at night)
Crackbadger (nickname for anyone who's kicking ass finding loot at the moment)
Wandering Fool (anyone who hunts like they have ants in their pants)
Nitro (Any object that makes your heart stop for a split second, and then you find out it's just junk)
Sleeper Cell (Any group of MD'ers that don't post online or affiliate with a local club)
Douche Bag (A detectorist that lurks online waiting to complain about stuff who gets into little intelligent battles with other detectorists, they think they are top sh!t and your Ace 250 or Bounty Hunter is a kid's toy)
Skunked (Coming away from a site without finding any old coins, or whatever it is that you value)
A Twistidd (Gashing your hand open on 'the precious' bottle or other artifact. I almost pulled a twistidd the other day recovering a deep fishing weight under a sh!tload of roots, where there was a humongous wino cap with jagged pieces of wino container still left in said cap. Visions of Twistidd's bloody hand sent shivers down my spine... oh man. I never want to have that day happen. Hopefully this is a term that doesn't get used much.)
Dirt Golfing (When a detectorist is swinging his rig like he's playing putt-putt golf, foward and reverse)
Waxing The Bowl (another term for Dirt Golfing)
I'll let you guys chime in for awhile... I could keep going and going...

Re: Need a little help with M D phrase's
Brett, you had me laughing man. Those are some great ones. Thanks, I needed that.
I came up with a few myself.
- “Rockford Files” (this shirt will feature the silhouettes of grumpy sociopathic metal detectorists who have little to no interest in what a “subordinate” hobbyist claimed to have found with his toy Ace 250.)
- "Schiller Park: Because the world needs more overweight, overpaid, and underworked law enforcement officials to sit in the FP parking lots and “guard” the area from trouble-makers."
- "Mushroom Hunting: It’s not just for the fungi anymore, but for the FUN GUY!"
- “I think I got a booty call!” (this shirt will feature two detectorists in the woods, one calling the other to announce his discovery of an old coin and that he had better GET OVER HERE QUICK!)
- “Don’t COIL with me”…wow, stupid.
- “I spent eight hours at {insert large, historic, urban park frequented by Goio) and all I got out of it was 24 silver.”
- “Treasure is where you find it”…no sh*t.
- “Poppin’ Bottles!”, with illustration of Kermit’s bottle wound.
- “Poppin’ Bottles!” , with illustration of my laceration caused by bottle.
- “Guns don’t kill people, bottles do.”
- “NASCAR, wife-beaters, a backyard trampoline, and metal detecting. Life is good” (for our Southern counterparts).
- “Kermit: More than just a frog!”
- “Coil covers save lives”
- “Where there’s wheaties, there’s silver and vintage condom tins”
- “Tick Tock and ya don’t stop” (shirt featuring..ticks).
Sorry Bob, I couldn't help it. I had a rough day and can't really be serious right now. I'll think of some good ones and I'll let you know.
