Beware - be careful

[Limitool]

If they take the detector and run off, tell them to go slower less they miss good targets.

Yes... this is very good advise. The first 3-4 I snatched and ran with I didn't find a damn thing. Good job Escape!!!! The rest of you listen up.... you might learn something.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Must be something in the air. Last time I was in TN, I felt like stealing something. But you better be careful, them redneck son's a gun's will sick the dogs on you.

A nicely balanced tomahawk is better,you can throw it

You've never seen me throw my digging tool!!

I am now getting a stretchy cord for my pin pointer & a thin steel cable for my detector both of which will be attached to me, it's a package deal ALL or nothing! No one wants an angry screaming Bee!

Tippe- I used to have pictures taken of me all the time by Asian tourist when I detected the beach, they were just curious as to what I was doing.

Well I guess we have all been warned and need to figure out now what our response will be if someone tries to rob us of our detector or other stuff!

I just unplug my head phones when showing someone how my detector works, nothing leaves my possession!!!

More good solid advise.... He's right. I happen to live here. And I got 7 dogs and their all trained killers. Huntsmen53 (Frank) you stay quiet and ignore this comment.

It has to be easier to steal the camera from the asian tourist who wants his picture taken with his buddies...besides I have more exotic tools on my utility belt than Batman...

 

[dirtdigginfool]

never heard of it, may be one of the latest internet uban myths.
but I hope nobody Who is looking for ideas on how to steal read this

The local crackheads around here can't read...and they've already hocked their computer for dope...lol..ddf

 

[SusanMN]

One thing I have frequently encountered with interested and chatty strangers are questions about how much a detector cost. I always point out that they can buy cheap ones like mine for hardly anything at places like Walmart and Radio
Shack but good ones that can find more than coins close to the surface can be really expensive. No sense making mine seem attractive to a potential thief.

my guess real crackheads are not going to grab and run anyway.
that's allot of energy to use up just thinking about it

I have heard of an instance or two of this happening in very rough neighborhoods. I think one was a "mugging" type robbery and the other was a "purse snatcher" type deal were they run up rip the detector out of your hands and run off. From what I remember both instances were at public parks on the south side of Chicago years ago.

Reading the above reply, now I know why that's never happened to me, crack head or not, you would have to be a total nut to run up to somebody like me and try and grab anything!
For the record I think I'm a normal guy, but everybody else sees a tank!
I'm 6'10" 300lbs and built like a brick **** house..
Thinking about myself in the third person, heck I am nuts, and I wouldn't run up on that guy lol.

I don't know, have you ever seen a crackhead run? They would smoke Usain Bolt...

Not sure about where you live aside from in pennsylvania, but in Detroit, the crack heads will run up and kill you for a pair of tennis shoes.

In no way am I trying to offend anybody, for I know how terrible the addiction to crack is, and had great friends that struggled with that addiction.

Mike

Yes I have mucky, and yeah they can run fast, since most are like meth heads...skinny bean poles.

 

[justdon]

In my area i don't know of anything a crackhead or meth head would not do to get money..I have only let people that i met detecting that were hunting also.I got a thrill last week a guy let me use his etrac while he used my delta 4000 for a little while.Anytime i can get a chance to try out one of my dream md's i jump at it.

 

[Diggin-N-Dumps]

I laugh in peoples faces when they want to touch my machine....same with bums asking me for money. My repsonse is " Do you think I would be out here digging pennies if i had money?"

I have only had to say that once, and the guy just turned around...But most the time, I make my self look so unapproachable, people dont want to talk to me.

You'd be the FIRST person I would... don't you remember losing those two minelab MD's in 72'? Hell I'm the world's biggest midget @ 5-7 and 175 now. Hell back in the day (5-4 and 115 - Junior year in track) I ran a 4:36 mile and a 9:58 two mile. Damn... just thinking about that now makes me tired. I'll send'em back Mike. Sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no crack heads around here I'm aware of, But the way the Media talks about crack
i thought it was a Killer not something that would give people Energy.
I guess the stuff ain't as bad as they would have us believe if people can loose weight,
have energy to run & outfight a so called Healthier person
who isn't on drugs and has a digger in one hand to swing and a detector to hold on to, with the other.

Maybe Dr.'s should prescribe it

No actually I heard the with the mugging instance the guy was actually robbed at gun point for his detector and wallet, ect. If that situation happed to me I would respond with "sure here you go its yours". All this talk of crackheads having super powers reminds me of the Dave Chappelle Tyrone Biggums the crackhead skit. The one were he is drinking red bulls energy drinks and has super powers. Picks up the bus for a dime laying in the street lol! Not to sound prejudice some of his stuff was funny.

you never touch a mans hat or his detector..
