Have you ever been embarrassed by another mder?

[Dirt Fishin Dale]

Well I was just wondering. I was on a beach one time and this guy was doing something between Swan Lake or the jitter bug. People were stopping in their tracks and laughing. At first I thought he might have had a handicap or something and it was kind of cool he was doing what he loved. But after the “show” he walked away as any other would.
Now I have seen a lot of different styles of detecting and have been doing this for at least 20 years, but when I get embarrassed by someone else’s antics and move far down the beach, I wonder, Who is giving these lessons? Is there a club for this? Or am I just old and don’t know the proper glide and sway for this sport?
Dude please!
I am just out of words.
Maybe I need blinders.

I wonder What he found to put him in that mood

 

[Dirt Fishin Dale]

I don’t know, but I’m not too sure I want any.

I believe I've witnessed this unusual fellow.....Last time I saw him he was high steppin' like a Nazi. Everyone who saw him was busting out laughing. Glad I'm not his huntin' partner.

I was kinda mesmerized.

i'm seen guys do "the happy dance"in public and yes it is embarrassing

 

[mastereagle22]

Boy youse wouldn't want to go hunting with me and Baldingboy!!!

We have sword fights with our Lesches, we throw dirt clods, walnuts, pecans, rocks whatever at each other. We have been know to wear strange detecting garb

We hunt regardless of weather. I will NOT hunt in the lightning, other than that it's a go!

 

[trashdude]

Hey, I've seen people detecting in lightning and while in the water no less. Pure Genius.....

Maybe the guys on to something! The weirder you act the farther away the tourists stay. Sure would beat the dips standing on your coil asking if you're electrocuting worms. Or the herd of kids side stepping in unison with each swing of the coil

I have seen other metal detector holes with all the grass ripped to shreds, a unfilled hole and a pulltab sitting next to the hole too many times. I may leave a few small odd clumps of dirt but my "c" shaped plugs are almost undetectable and allow moisture to keep the trap door plug from drying out. I can go back to the same park and dig out hundreds of coins and no on can tell I was ever there. These knuckle heads are A] new to the hobby or B] just plain stupid.

I was working some vacant property where some houses had been removed right next to a busy expressway when I saw an older guy get out of his car and start detecting. I worked my way over to him thinking he might share some wisdom with me. We talked for a bit and all at once he just pulled it out and started whizzing right by my foot and in full sight of the highway! I was speechless needless to say! I slowly worked my way back to my car and put some distance between us. I don't know what he would have done if he needed to do anything besides whiz! I didn't stick around to find out. Maybe that was his way of getting rid of pesky competition? It worked! M nty

 

[boogeyman]

You sure he wasn't softening up the ground to make digging a little easier? Maybe he used to be a resident of the houses that used to be there, and Alzheimers kicked in. Go to the potty, walk down the hall and offer the nice man an air beer

Nice steps Mark! You give lessons?

 

[mpostma]

Well, no. But I need to explain. I was wearing underwear that was waaay to tight see. Then I was stung by a bee. All those things complicated the poison Ivy and athlete's foot I was suffering from. But there was no way I was going to miss a day mding!

Now you may understand.

[mpostma]

Awwwww TxKicker!
I hate being laughed at. I am very very shy, and my feelings are easily hurt!

I also forgot to mention that I had one of the bees fly up my nose. But, mding is that important to me!
