Does Anyone Get Ridiculed While Detecting?

[Honest Samuel]

Relax, and keep searching. Good hunting and good luck.

I overlook rude comments from the kids and teenagers...when a jerk says something to look cool in front of some girls or friends, I come back with something that leaves him with a blank stare on his face and his friends laughing at him.

Detecting on a beach in Cancun a few years ago I was confronted by two 20 something guys smoking cigarettes and determined to get a few laughs at my expense. They mockingly asked if I had found anything and I showed them my handful of Pesos and American pennies (oddly, US pennies are the most common target on Cancun beaches ). They laughed and asked, "How much did you pay for that thing?" I said, "About $600. And I enjoy it. I see you enjoy smoking. How much do you spend on cigarettes?" They just looked at each other kind of dumbfounded and walked away. No more ridicule...

Just tell them "I have found $15,000 worth of gold so far, how much gold have you found?"

Next thing you know you'll have dark shadows following you around just waiting to pounce!

Someone would be surprised since I have my concealed carry license and I carry my .45 99% of the time.[emoji379] [emoji15]

Come on now, TH. You mean to tell me that there is NEVER a time when a young, fast-moving group of thugs couldn't get the drop on you?? You never get immersed in MDing - sorta losing yourself to the search?

You do good work here - would hate to lose you! ...Heck, there's even a couple of folks that may actually like you, too.


Am ribbing you TH - PLEASE don't take that seriously. If I ever have the chance to meet you, will be more than happy to give you a big, fat, sloppy, wet....handshake!
