Re: kicked out of a campground because.........

It's called respect. Sure you like to hear your detector beeping, as do I, but I can assure you to others it is just damn annoying.

Now another site is lost to you, and probably others as well.

Any time you draw attention to youself, most often nothing good ever comes of it.

If you are going to be around other people, I strongly suggest everyone use headphones.

I certainly don't mean to offend anyone, this is just my opinioin, but this is pretty good evidence to support my opinoin.

One more site lost is one too many. Is it not ?

That's what's wrong with this country, bunch of friggin whiners. 'Cept your a Canuck. I'll refrain from the rest of my comments for the sake of this "family friendly" PC forum.

my cousin called them something worse

Re: kicked out of a campground because.........

I agree with Rick.
People go to a campground to enjoy a little relaxation. When you interfere with other people's relaxation you become a problem.
You don't go to the movies and talk on your cell phone do you? No? Why not? Out of respect for others.
I think a little respect for others is in order.
You fill your holes right? Why? Out of respect for others.
We fight this kind of BS all the time. The reason we have to fight it in the first place is because people believe they don't need to follow some sort of decency code. That's for others.
You can play if off, but the fact is, if you're in a camground with other people around
you might find another area where you aren't around so many folks.
Besides, those rangers are always just looking for a reason to boot someone like you out of their campground.

Get new rangers.

Sometime back I had a finch or a warbler or some little bird nearby in a park I was detecting, bird starting mimicking my old 1235X. I told the park guy to get rid of the bird. Couldn't tell if it was my machine or the bird after awhile. He yelled at the bird. Good guy!

Any ranger looking for reason to throw someone like me out is looking the wrong way.

You should have told him that your detector was in this country illegally. CA is a sanctuary state.

When you not aloud to detect anywhere, then who will be whinning ?

He can still detect there....he just has to use headphones. I bet one old grouch complained....probally had their hearing aid turned up to high. I don't think he was being disrespectful....I just think he didn't think it would bother anyone. I think I used the word think to much.

Re: kicked out of a campground because.........

Stories like this pi$$ me off.

Metal Detecting is not a crime.

Do they kick the birds out for chirping too loudly?

Re: kicked out of a campground because.........

simple fix --come back with a set of headphones --problem solved * --

yes folks whine and cry like a buncha babies -- got no life, busy body whiny folks do that . sadly you got to deal with em -- remember the bottom line is --to get what YOU want --to detect and snag all those lovely coins and maybe a bit of jewelry too --so by hook or crook do so --get headphones --return say --"see no noise" -- then go about yer bussiness.

when around large groups of folks by the % 's theres going to be at least one of the 10% of the world is a butthole "busy body whiner" type person.--so using head phones / ear buds --is a wize move to avoid having to interact with them.

even if they can not hear you --they might still whine anyway -whats he doing ==isn't that illegal ? get a frickin life you bunch of no life , nosey useless wind bags. .

Re: kicked out of a campground because.........

Every time I hear stories like this, it makes me ill. How about the loud motorcycles, cars, trucks, children, barking dogs, the drunks singing 50 verses of Brown Eyed Girl, the high school guys playing football, and every other sound you find in a FREE PUBLIC PARK/CAMPGROUND! Geeeez, people need to get a life, and leave ours alone! I can't tell you how many times I've had the same problem. . . .everything from them calling the police to me being cussed out.

I'm a polite person, and respect others & property, and I want the same in return. Actually no one would ever know I'm MD unless you saw me, but it seems other groups get more respect than Metal Detectorist. I've been digging on the beach and have had children to fall on their knees and start digging the hole with their hands, and the parents look and laugh. I've had adults to do the same thing. Just last week(after Hurricane Irene hunt at the beach) I had man to stoop over the hole, saw a quarter, and said, 'hey, look what I found.' He put it in his pocket and got a good laugh with all of his beer drinking buddies.

So, I think both groups, the MD and the non-MD 'claim' to be equally annoyed, but in my opinion, I think the people we annoy are not as annoyed as they are somewhat jealous of what they 'think' we are finding. It's as if we have a pouch full of Rolex watches, diamond rings, and gold coins, and they don't. Breezie

Re: kicked out of a campground because.........

I agree the last thing you need to do is make people upset towards metal detecting. Was the handful of change really worth getting kicked out because you didn't, or couldn't use headphones? Doesn't seem like it to me.
People don't respect other people these days - while you hear harmless beeping, it may be annoying as can be to another. Sure, most of us ignore the things that bother us but when it comes to paying to camp, I can understand the frustration. Personally I don't camp at campgrounds, people and their children annoy me when I'm trying to relax. I prefer the sound of the ocean and nature waking me up.

Re: kicked out of a campground because.........

Hunt early ..... Tourists or campers arrive in beach area , I pack up my gear and leave . I also agree with the many who suggest use of headphones

 

[calisdad]

Re: kicked out of a campground because.........

I agree with Rick as well (and if you don't there's no need to be rude about it). I've had people show up in campgrounds and fire up the generator and leave it on all day and into the night.

Somehow I don't think we heard the whole story. You don't get kicked out without being asked to be quiet first.
