IDIOT...spelled DigEmAll

[DigEmAll]

Anyone every went hunting and forgot to grab the batteries out of the charger??

Went to the Prospectors Cabin and since I have been there a lot I didn't carry my GPS.? I also didn't carry my extra detector batteries because ever since I changed over to the rechargables I haven't ever needed them, so I quit carrying eight of them only four.? Two for the GPS and two for the camera. If I had taken my GPS, I would have had enough!? As it was I only had six.? IDIOT!? Oh well..... At least it was a nice hike, and a very nice day!? I saw some beautiful deer, so it was not a total loss!?

Today, out in a field, when I got the "Low Batt" indicator on my DFX I felt a chill. I had been waiting all week to go out and to be foiled by a lack of batteries?! Fortunately, I had a spare in my trunk. The day was saved!

Last time I went out I forgot my shovel. It's amazing what you can do with a tire tool.

digemall: you are not an idiot. you just need to use a check list for everything you do that requires many parts or items. that way, you don't forget anything.

If you call that being an idiot, what do you call a person who drives 70 miles to go detecting only to find out that you left your detector in your other car?

At least twice, I have found a great signal.....reach for my diggin tool....didn't have it. I had left it at my last hole. I go retrieve it, come back.....my partner has my wonderful Virginia Civil War Button. TWICE!!!!

Idiot is spelled D-I-G-G-I-N-M-A-N.

Drove 50 mi. today to hunt and realized I left my shovel next to the front door. Fortunately I had my regular knife with me. It's a bit** digging in ground that's harder than a banker's heart.

We all have done stupid things. I've forgot to bring the detector, scoop, goodie pouch, etc. I stopped using rechargeable batteries as when they run down, they just stop. The Fisher 1280-X used to run all summer on one set of batteries. Now I take back up stuff for everything and use a check list. Don't forget the water.........

When you become complacent thats when you leave somethng at home.

I wonder If that would work If you got caught, Illegally, on someone's property. I forgot to ask for permission.

Once drove 60 miles out into the boonies to an old rock foundation that I had been meaning to detect for several years. And once there, realized I had grabbed my detector out of my other car to take with me. But forgot to grab my digging tools.
So I went and detected some big signals and scraping with a stick and partially kicking and heeling the ground. I finally uncovered a flat metal bar 1 inch wide and about 10 inches long, that I used for my digging tool that day. Worked ok. But a little rough on the hands. HH

jbot, your excuse reminds me of that old Steve Martin skit.....How to Avoid Paying Income Tax!? Just tell them,"I forgot"!?
I got out with a low battery once, just once. Now I have spare batteries stashed in both my cars, in all my detector bags and in places I probably won't find them for years except by accident! Every time I go by Wally World I pick up a pack of batteries of some kind. I also have a set of rechargeable batteries and a charger but I've never used it. I keep finding stashed batteries I forgot I had! Monty
