Do you have a saying...

[aa battery]

when you get nervous at a dig site? Mine is i hear banjos .

 

[Dr. Witty]

That's a good one, I usually get a feeling like some tweaker is behind me. I had an experience where a guy strung out on "whatever" came up to me. I could have easily knocked him senseless with my fists or my Ground Shark, but i just left instead. I already felt uncomfortable being there. I don't usually get the feeling in the woods though, only in the parks. I'll remember "I hear Banjos" though, I'm not sure you can beat that one.

We're not in Kansas anymore Toto.

I know the feeling. Specially if you are at a homesite deep in the woods that had an obvious catastrophic demise. Burnt down half a century ago, remnants of clothing, shoes, kids toys, lots of bleached bones that you keep stopping to identify as deer bones vs the more ominous bones I have not stumbled across thankfully...

My advice if you hear banjos....paddle faster!

My buddy always has quotable quotes.....we were flame cutting landing gear from an OTR trailer.....inexplicably, Jeff reaches down to remove a freshly cut part. He jumped back after burning a hand exclaiming " MAN ! That had instructions written all over it !"

who gets nervous? I exude top predator scent

To my friend when it is getting very late in the middle of the woods: "Stop wandering away to where I can't see you and you can't hear me!" Except it is yelled loudly and followed by a little profanity in many cases

For petes sake! Why would I have a saying?

....A senior Geologist I worked with , whilst in the field , lamented ,"All Mountains Yearn To Be Valleys!" .
His claim to fame ? ......He developed the international standard Frisbee Golf "goal" !

"For your safety and mine, you need to step back away from me about 3 feet". But in all these years, never had to use that while out detecting. Used it in daily life a few times, but if some person showed up and made me nervous while detecting, that's what I'd say. (Note-doesn't work on rattlesnakes, bears or moose.)

 

[Deft Tones]

The last thing I will say, if anything, before going off, "Pigs don't eat it because they don't know how."

Had one guy pause and say, "huh? What did you say?"

BOOM!

Confuses the mind and creates a split second opening for attack.

i once got approached by 2 guys while i was detecting who asked "what if we take your detector ?" my answer was "you would probably get it, but im English and i love a fight and one of you WILL be going home blind tonight".......they made there excuses and left shortly after.
