You Know You Are Too Old To Metal Detect When~~~~~

[DaChief]

1. You drive 10 hours to Florida from Tennessee with all of your gear for one chance Saturday at hunting the surf.

2. You charge your battery to full capacity the night before.

3. On Saturday, you load your gear into your truck including the battery for the trip from the room to the beach.

4. You get to the beach and can't find the battery to put into the detector so you resign yourself to watching others treasure hunt for the rest of the afternoon because you can't leave your kids at the beach to go back an look for it at the room.

5. After the day at the beach you get back to the room and find that the reason you couldn't find the battery is because you loaded it into your detector at the room and it was in the freakin detector the whole time you couldn't find it.

Got to love getting old!

6. You remembered to bring the little blue pills, but you forgot what they are for.

You know your to old to metal detect when you walk through the hotel lobby to your truck with all your stuff only to realize your in your boxer briefs and not your bathing suit !!! (good thing its still dark)

 

[Tank69]

you change batteries 6 times in your non ID detector before you realize the batteries are ok you just left the jack reducer for the head phones in the machine when you unplugged your head phones the last hunt so you wouldnt lose the reducer.......ya I'm guilty , the Red Head laughed for days over that one

My dog Jack says, "You are too old to metal detect, when you lose more than you find."

 

[ReidMan]

Oh man I can relate to this so much.

Got to the beach on my motorcycle once and realized I forgot to bring the sand scoop. Sure is more tiring when you have to search the beach with a screwdriver and a little gardening shovel.

You are to old when you get everything packed and get to the hotel to find out you lift your wife at home. Now you can just dream of being young again while looking at all the young thing runing around on the beach. Then catching ____ when you get home.....

You finally get to the area you want to hunt and find the gravity at that location has increased enough to make you exhausted.

 

[bill-USA]

You drive 450 miles to a gorgeous Michigan beach and find you only brought a dry sand machine.

 

[syko]

....you realize the reason your detector isn't working, is because you've been swinging your walking cane at the sand.

 

[Dirt Fishin Dale]

How about when someone says they are going to do that when they get older?
And they look the same age or younger?

I drove to the Treasure Coast for the once in a lifetime opportunity to hunt after 2 major hurricanes. I packed my coil and my MD control box but for some reason I forgot the aluminum shaft.

We had to sneak past the police roadblocks onto the beach with my detector kinda hidden under my arm before I realized I was missing some parts.

I managed to find a crooked branch and I shoved it into the coil on one end and the box on the other and I hunted a bit. I wish I had a picture.
