- Primary Interest:
- Metal Detecting
1) Swinging the coil over dog poop and having it sound off solid gold.
2) Having a little kid come grab my coin out of the hole and me wonder if it's good form to take it back...
3) Falling over if a dog comes and tackles me. It's hard enough to stand up after kneeling for hours digging... Be even harder if I've "fallen and can't get up."
4) Having a bystander spot what I dig, and claim it as theirs.
5) Having to explain to folks for the umpteenth time that what I'm doing is legal.
6) Discriminating out iron in a tot-lot and missing a rusty nail that results in some poor kid having to get a tetanus shot.
7) FINDING the rusted out nail in the cutical of my finger while wiping away the bark chips
8) Dropping my really cool finds
9) Someone badmouthing my kid who is just at the distance of earshot and also metal detecting... lame.
10) my plug flaps won't be perfect and they'll show up later... I really worry about that one, especially on hard digs
Things I don't worry about:
1) My digger tool looks like a dagger. Keeps cranks at bay
2) My headphones making me look weird. I'm not that good looking anyway.
3) Wearing only one knee pad. I don't bend down on both knees anyway
4) Only finding a "penny" while someone is watching me. Heck it could be a 1955 doubled die, for all I know.
5) Selling my finds. They're my finds.
6) Whether or not I can actually find the owner of that ring. I do due diligence, but I've not found a single owner, yet. Would be nice to, someday, though.
7) Hating people who drop bottle caps. A pox on their privates, I say. I'm comfortable with this hate.
8) Getting excited over junk jewelry. Who cares if it's not real, I'm there for the adrenaline rush of when it pops out anyway!
9) Giving away all my cleaned up junk jewelry to my nieces. They love it, even if I am that "Crazy Uncle."
10) Creaky joints at the end of the day. They'll heal, and I'll be good to go tomorrow!
How about you all?
