Don't you hate it when (insert).......

you charge your excalibur's battery 24 hrs just to go out to the beach for 25 minutes on a gorgeous low tide, target popping day just to get that God awful AWKKKK every 30 seconds telling you your battery is low... WHATTTT!!! Just to get home and see that it wasn't plugged in to the wall...

You drive to the beach, walk down to the water and realize that you left your scoop at home!

Acquisitor · May 21, 2015

thats why you...

1) buy a battery from "onlybatterypacks"
2) have a spare fully charged battery with you

I always carry 2 NiMH batteries charged night before.. Of course it is possible to have both unplugged...

I also have gone to beach and forgot my scoop. Now I carry 2 scoops that are stored in my detecting van..

I hate it when I get all geared up, put on wet suit, camelpac, enter the water and realize I have to go to restroom...😬

I hate it when I don't get good coverage with my sunblock, and I end up with red and white stripes all over my face and neck.

I hate it when I go in the water... and realize I have my wallet or something else on me that should never be wet.

when your walking PERFECTLY mapped grids and someone comes along and plops their rear right in the way of your current line.... OCD at it's finest.

Don't you hate it when....no not really. When I am on the beach with my detector I am happy as a clam. I don't live at the beach so getting there is a treat!

I did think of something. Don't you hate it when some idiot pulling his son on a boogie board slams into your back because he was pulling his kid and running backwards and not paying attention to where he was going.
