I used to be called Chuckers when I was in school by my schoolmates...
back when Bulletin board systems (BBSs) came around (before the internet) I used Viper... this was when I was in the Airforce and that was about the time Topgun came out. I continued to use Viper as my gamer name and on the internet when it was first available to the public, but then all the 13 year old kids used the name and it was already taken a lot of the times, also I was getting older and it was a bit of an immature name so I went looking for another...

I tried several others and they too eventually got overused or taken so I started using Chuckers... once again that too began to be used by others too. So I dropped the second C and it seems to of stuck I rarely see another "Chukers" so if you see that name out on the internet somewhere its a good chance it me.

When I really Got Into Metal detecting After red Bought Me My First For Christmas!! IT was A tense time!!! I wanted to Go detecting And She Would Just Get Grumpy!!! This went on for Months!!! I backed off a Little!!! But the Need to Get out and Dig Was overpowering!!!!

I Brought Home Little Gifts Of Gold And Silver!!! After A few More Months Red Was Saying Where Are you Going Hunting Today :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:

Then The New Detector Was Purchased for My Best Christmas present!!! In February!! Thanks Red For the Upgrade!!!

This continued Until I found The Gold Medallion Of St Barbara!! Now She was Researching Finds and Waiting For Me to Come Home To see What I Dug up for the Day :icon_thumleft: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumleft: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumleft: :icon_thumright:

Starting this Early Summer Red Decided That She was Going Out With Me!!! Its Been Fun And Frustrating Also!!! ::) ::) ::)

Darn Where was I !!! Oh Over time I Changed My log in From Chug To ChugandRed Because A Beautiful Red Head Wanted to Share In My Finds And Make Some Spectacular Finds of her Own!!! Chug

This was One of the Only Sites that We go To that We don't share Everything at First !!!! We have always Shared Email, Internet, Etc Etc With the Same Log in Name Chug and Red

And for this site Only We Have Our Christmas Decoration's and Name Up!!!

As soon as I wanted to be a member, I knew that I would be gleaner. It's all about getting the last bit of treasure. Gleaning, if you will.

I used my real name like an idiot because I joined the site for an unrelated and unrecalled reason, then started spending multiple hours a day on it inadvertantly. Now I'm stuck with it. :-\

My history bug is what got me interested in Metal Detecting. While researching the battle of Brice's Crossroads MS I found a Confederate veteran in my family fought there. He and his two brothers joined Forrest at Jackson Tennessee in the fall of 1861. Their unit.. The 21st Tennessee Calvary.
 

chukers you never heard of the term chuckers :dontknow:

If I'm not mistaken Frankn usage may be close to mine.. It was a person that would toss a football away not to get hurt :laughing7: Street meaning - wimp
 

Well being from Eastern Kentucky I was an underground coal miner, as was my father, grandfather, uncles, cousins and so on, I love history and the civil war era, so Relicminer was a good fit... Thank God I got a job on the railroad and out of those mines... thats a rough life... oh and yes I use it on all my forums and even Geocaching... :icon_pirat:

I thought it was reclaimer at first and was going to say that is a cool name... but then I looked close and saw Relicminer... its still a cool name and most appropriate... glad you got out of the mines... it is a very hazardous and tough job!

Just my name. Actually I wanted it in lower case letters, but it came out in upper case, which I don't like. Maybe the mods could change that for me for Christmas.
