We had a Strawberry Festival that's about 40 minutes from my house this last. weekend. Now haven't went myself ( not a big fan of strawberries ) I assumed that it would be picked up by noon and then I can go and make a fresh metal detecting/eyeballing GOLD finding day. Well I was wrong they have rides in the whole 9 yards and people working all day today taking down all the equipment. Not being the kind of guy that will knock on somebody's door ( not yet away )without being invited first, haven't done that since I was 9, I am very good at seas in a moment. Right across the street was a house that was perfect it was beautifully old still, when all the other houses have been re-renovated in a small country kind of way, This one had the original grass/ dirt begging to get metal detector. As I'm driving past I saw a guy and his mother getting out and I stop the truck and told him how much time are their house and has anyone ever scanned it for all coins? He said never and I pulled over. Needless to say he gave me permission and that was one of the best hunts I've had in a long time. A nice bottle, junk ring, 14 wheaties, Louisiana tax token,, 2 war nickels, a buffalo nickel, 2 rosies and a beautiful Silver Washington. I was truly blessed today [emoji1317] IMG_2244.JPG IMG_2249.JPG IMG_2251.JPG IMG_2253.JPG IMG_2254.JPG IMG_2258.JPG IMG_2259.JPG

You hit the nail on the head. I hate rejection and I've never been good at it. Before I asked a girl on a date I had to have Intel saying 100% that she's going to say yes. Lol

Lol...that is SO true! I can talk to anybody..yuk it up, laugh it up etc..but when it comes to asking them for permission...I stutter, stammer, and almost pass out! So, this past weekend..I'm at a nephew's bday party, and eyeball an OLD, huge farmhouse and nephew sez "he's an awesome dude, he will let you"...YES!! I'm in...we go over, introduce myself, start small talk (I'm not stutter/stammering!) and he says he's got a machine and has checked his yard but found only nails and farm junk (yay! cheap machine!)...so I nonchalantly ask "would you care if I looked around"?...so now HE stutters...and finally blurts out "you can but I get anything good"....I think I cried..a little.

I was born a real stutter but I've been in sales all my life and I've really good at it. God has a good sense of humor.
