No Call? No Show? Last Time..!

I think picking on Christians and using profanity crosses the line, and making fun of other members over their beliefs violates the forum guidelines. I find the post quoted above to be rude, disrespectful, offensive and totally uncalled for!

sakes....cinkid...from what I have read from you over time....I would be honored to hunt with you...heck I would camp in your yard so as not to be late.You ever want to do a cali.mt.hunt,just pm me and I pick you up at ontario and I'll buy the considerable beer we gonna need(want...need...whatever)
Hunting is supposed to be fun and the one thing in life I'm actually an expert at is having a good time.Some around here need to take a deep breath,smile,and be determined to find at least one thing every day to giggle at.

Trust me gang...life is short...disgruntlement lasts a lifetime

cheers my friends

I enjoy the solitude when I hunt alone. I have no desire to competition hunt. When I am detecting I am not talking, I am listening, so it wouldn't be social. I have no need to be running back and forth showing my finds to another or vice versa. Places to hunt here are already scarce, so bringing another gets those places hunted out even faster. I am sure for others it is the opposite.

The exact opposite.

Finally read this after I posted and thanks for whomever it was that stood up for me. I'm not offended at what Kemper wrote, being a Christian makes you thick skinned and certainly doesn't mean your a total wuss that cant handle themselves. Kemper did nothing that offended. I looked at it two ways..if the guy is a friend and a co-worker you have to handle it with kid gloves and another aspect which I doubt anyone thought of which has been brought up on these forums before is a friend made into enemy and that person go to the honey hole and wreck it for you or bring others to it. So which way would you handle it? Charge in and make an enemy or go nice at first maybe get your answer and having still the option to be harsh if need be.

Have you considered the possibility that your (so-called) friend is sneaking onto the site on his own to metal detect when he knows you will not be there? Many years ago, a friend of mine in Key West invited another friend of his to metal detect a beach in the Keys where a Spanish Silver Piece of Eight had been found by accident. My friend (Roy) knew that a Spanish Galleon had wrecked not far off the beach and the Silver bars and some other items were salvaged but very few coins had been found during the salvage operation. Well, they went the first time and found several coins that had fell out of the sand dunes and had been covered up on the beach. They went back again and began digging into and metal detecting the sand dunes and found (I believe) 15 coins this time andI believe one more time and found more coins. (Note: I wanted to note that digging into and metal detecting the sand dunes in the Keys back then, was not a big problem as long as you returned the sand dunes as they were before you dug and avoid the Sea Oats or allowed them to recover.) Well, one day, this so-called friend showed up where my friend (Roy) sold Sea Shells and was showing off his' coins. Roy having a photographic memory, asked this so-called friend where he had gotten several of the coins, to which he stated on the last couple of metal detecting trips to the beach. Roy knew that this was not the case, so one night, he drove by this so-called friend's apartment and noticed that he was gone. Roy then drove to the site (the beach) and found him digging and metal detecting the sand dunes using a head mounted light and that he had totally destroyed much of the sand dunes and Sea Oats. This ended the partnership and this so-called friends damage to the sand dunes and Sea Oats, ended ever being able to dig and metal detect the sand dunes forever. Roy attempted to go back but found that the Monroe County Sheriff's Office had put it off-limits and a Deputy was stationed there in an attempt to catch the culprit that had damaged the dunes and Sea Oats. You might want to falsely indicate to your (so-called) friend that you can't metal detect certain days (of which you know that he possibly can) and sneak by the site to see if he is there metal detecting. If he is, then I am sure you know what to do!

Frank you are absolutely right...
I have personally had this happen to myself once as well...
I had a local "hotspot" that was a location I found...
Was an old location on the Clearwater Beach where in the 70's stood a popular bar that had long since been gone...
I invited a guy that showed some interest... I gave him a detector to use... and we went to several beach spots and found very little to nothing...
I kept the "honey hole" a secret... but after hearing him ***** moan and complain about how the hobby sucked and so forth for hours...
I decided to take him with my girl and I to the honey hole...
We found a moderate amount of things that were silver and gold...
I saw it in his eyes... the greed...
After that I called him a day or 2 later and asked if he wanted to go back with me to the hole... he declined and said he a had bought a detector off a buddy and that is buddy was a detectorist...
and his buddy may want to go with us... I told em ehhhh well I would rather not include more people...
ANYWAY... that weekend... went to honey hole spot... stated swinging ... nothing... then I noticed barely visible divots...
I had reserved a certain area off to the side that I said to him I had already worked... THIS WAS UNTOUCHED.
So I called him later that day just to see what was up and to trip him up...
After beating around the bush he stated he and his buddy had went to "test" out his new detector...
When I asked "where" he went... he was like " not to any of your spots"...
This guy ended up telling many people I later found out about this spot... to make himself look "cool" or whatever...
Spot is so clean now you could eat off the sand.
I have heard of this same type of scenario happening to others many times as well.

I have one too.an ex employee whom I taught to detect(even gifted him his machine).Finally caved in and took him to an old homesite in the desert that will prolly always be my greatest discovery.while it now gives up little,when I took him it was still very much,"on".we would find small patches of ground where it was obvious someone just dumped or shallow buried coins and some jewelery.Lots of coins.foreign over here,american silver over there,buffalos in another spot...wild.
I was off the mountain for other reasons and drove out to the site on my way home to get a little coil time in.there was his car.That jerk had his wife and teenage kids out there with his tector and a sifter working the tar out of it,obvious he was there more than once.
I had asked and he had promised to never visit this site without me.Pay backs are a (hassle),this winter my crew and I have been very buisy with work.He had the nerve to ask me if I needed help.I told him I couldnt trust him not to come back to jobsite after we are done and ask homeowner for additional work.His son tells me he is selling his toys this winter to get through...ahhhhh..I think his carma ran over his dogma !!

Site is accessible ONLY on Sundays. I'm usually there, I would know if site had been "jacked".
The majority of finds have little monetary value. Local historical significance, yes.
Final conclusion; friend is uninterested.
I have sole permission. Friend would not disregard that.
It's the "no call, no show" that had me p.o.ed. Like bigfoot1 said yesterday, life is short. Happiness must prevail.
I'll now be happy diggin' alone.
Thanks All.
Peace ✌

Being moderately disabled I'm the guy who misses outings. I can never tell how I will be from day to day. I will say your a good dude, that guy has a great friend. I have a few friends here at tnet and they are very understanding.

Yes i am with you here i hunt alone and have no desire for competition hunting … And running back and forth to show each other there finds is just a plain waste of time to me..
