I have friends, mostly x-military that are black and avid detecorists. About 8 years ago I gave some instruction to 3 Jamaicans over a weekend. Vague memories of that one. I'll grant you that I don't see many, but they do exists. As for YouTube, check out "TexasTigerDigs".

Thats interesting, I've never actually thought about that before. I watch quite a bit of youtube and detecting vids and I think your girlfriend is right.

Just saw this post in Active Posts. Please don't take any offense in what I say, BUT! I really appreciate and respect you a whole bunch not hyphenating. I hate when they say African- American , Mexican- American, blah blah blah! Thank you! You are an American. Do I know any colored metal detectorist? No, there was a fella at Gold Basin, AZ that drywashed for gold, worked his butt off and heard he did well.
I don't do coins or relics much, I like looking for gold. If ever out this way, sounds like you'd be more than welcome in my camp. Merry Christmas!

Damnit! Just noticed you did! Don't do it again! You're an American or not. Want to use an adjective, black, white, tired, dirty, crazy for digging in the dirt, whatever.

I'm white and have a black metal detector! Now I'm wondering if they make them in white. Lol. If your girlfriend goes with you is she the only black female? (If she is black.) Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Feliz Navidad! All the same to me! Peace!

Televisions became racist in 1954 when the first 15" "color" TVs were sold.:laughing7: Side note: Amazingly, according to FBI statistics, the number one object on a list of weapons used in a violent or hate crime is the baseball bat. That's right, the baseball bat. Ironically, the Confederate flag which has been basically banned wasn't on that FBI list:icon_scratch:. Just another form of racism and bigotry at work in America:thumbsup:
