Hello everyone from Swampeast Misery. Oops I mean Southeast Missouri.

A lot of people, ok several people, ok three people to be exact have expressed concern that I haven't posted any adventures recently. Well I can tell you why. Mainly because I haven't been out detecting much in the last few weeks. That and Baldinboy keeps taking me to lameo spots with nothing but trash and chiggers!

Well this week we were going to go Monday but it started drizzling and BB says to me in his whiny girl voice, "I don't wanna go out cause I just got a perm on the five hairs left on top of my head." (actually he has more but I digress) Man what is it with this guy, first his French Manicure now his perm? I will say I went to his nail lady and she does a GREAT job. :D ;D :D ;)

Anyway BB kept ranting about this awesome site he had found and how we were going to go there and clean up! Little did I know he meant the area was trashy we were litterally going to have to clean up the area before we could detect! ;D We start off and BB puts his truck in gear and goes the only speed he seems to know how to drive, LUDICROUS SPEED (insert spaceball reference here). He is driving like 70 miles an hour to get to the sweet spot he has picked out for us and heads down a DEAD END street. :o Then he looks at me as we are sliding down the road sideways and says, "Uh I think maybe I was going a little to fast, and uh I don't think this is the way to our hunting spot." Well after the tow truck pulled us the half-mile out of the woods we were on our way. ;D

Let's make a long story short we get to the "site" and the grass was like butthole high to a ten foot indian and we couldn't swing a coil to save our lives. BB says to me, I guess the grass is a little higher than I remember. No kidding and Cindy Crawford is a woman, Captain Obvious! ;) :D ;D To be honest the site has lots of promise we will just need to cut the weeds when we go back. There is still an outhouse sitting on the site. Well after losing a pint of blood to the mosquitos, BB and I decided to head to a local park.

We did find a few odd coins. No the coins weren't odd, but BB and I are, ok so I am. I know BB would object to me lumping him into my disfunctionality. ;D :D I found a quarter 1993, two dimes and a couple of pennies. I am not posting pictures because to be honest if you don't know what a modern quarter, dime and penny look like you haven't been detecting very long. ;D :D I don't know what BB found because he wouldn't tell me. We did find a mysterious signal that was supposed to be silver but we couldn't find what was giving us the signal. We had to errect a few of those sawhorses with the blinking lights on them to keep people from falling into the pit we dug. There is a pond nearby and I think I will go talk the city into using our hole as a new pond for the park. ;D :D

The mosquitos were huge at this spot. I had to use the Beast to beat the mosquitos off. I sure could have used a Big A$$ Digger on this hunt. ;D :D ;D :D

Larry, don’t give up on BB’s intuition. It’s going to pay off soon, even if it involves a life threatening circumstance or other spectacular event.
 
AHHHH..the site pics! ;D Did you two cross over into Bama to hunt, ME? :D

Thanks for the updates ya'll. :D

Man BB I had high hopes for your new medication but I am afraid I am going to have to report to the docs that it just isn't working. ;D :o

And yes I have told you a thousand, no make that a MILLION times thanks for taking me to the SILVER HOUSE. The only true "GOOD" spot we have ever gotten to detect. But face it the last few spots we have gone to have been pretty lameo. Even the ones I found for us to hunt. :(

To be totally honest, I am very disappointed in MY abilities with the Beast. Not the Beast itself. At least I don't have to hold my detector together with cable ties like someone had to do with his Whites XLT that day! Minelab does know how to make a machine that stays together. ;D :D ;) And WHO provided the necessary items to keep your XLT together at least long enough for you to not find anything? ??? ::) :D ;D

Obvious reasons? Like what, you're a control freak? Yeah at least you admit it finally. Ask the CTH people who drove to KS. I even had to steal my wife's van so we could transport the Big A$$ Digger. That was one fun trip! ;D

Light vegetation? You ran into an abandoned dump truck burried in the jungle there and almost blew you XLT up! Come on man you need glasses. Foundation rocks? What about the half-ton of sheet tin and the multiple old washers and dryers lying around? What about the homeless guy walking around picking up all the beer cans he could find just lying around on the ground. Yeah this spot was cherry, alright. ;D :D

At least I HAVE lost my virginity. You tried to pay for losing yours and the woman not only refused to take your money but PAID you to go away. ;D :D ;D :D

Again I have to fall-back to my CTH hunting buddies for verification that I do not wear tights while detecting. You were the one crying because you caught your Tu-Tu in the door of your truck and ripped it. Man what a girly-man. :)

And actually I didn't blame my toddler son, I blamed my fifteen year old son. One day last week I came out of the house and he had the thing practically dismantled trying to figure out what made it tick. I did help him put your XLT back together and that's when we noticed that the XLT you own is actually run by a GAMEBOY color! That explains so much. ;) :D ;D :D ;D :D

Hey they need a new pool here in Cape so now they don't have to ask for as big a tax increase as they were going to since the digging is already done. Just trying to help my fellow citizens out is all. :)

I will drive by the place we actually hunted and shoot some footage of the place and post it later. You will see that the reason BB has such a high opinion of himself is that he has a lot of problems with size perception. ::) :D

Oh and by the way, I don't have your XLT, I mean pinpointer. ;D :D ;D :D :)


My only new medication is the booze I have to drink to cope with having to hunt with you. :-X


To be somewhat honest, I am disappointed in your abilities too! ::) The Beast is trying to tell you that it wants to explore....not find ANY coins. By the way, thanks for loaning me those cable ties to fix my XLT. The only reason I had to put them on my detector is because your wearing it out by asking me to check all your signals and pinpoint for you. Sorry that we had to take them off your head where you were using them as barets. Your right....Minelab does know how to make a machine that stays together you just need an entourage to help you carry it. Oh...and it doesn't seem to work either. Sooo..you got that going for ya.

Obvious reasons I had to drive? Basically, your car wouldn't have made it up the hill into the woods to detect. Also, as always, we needed my truck to carry all the crap you bring along. I mean, why the heck do you need to bring things like a Hazmat suit , ten changes of clothes (including a lycra ballet outfit), a gas mask, a cap gun, a pair of toe nail clippers, and enough rope to climb in the Swiss Alps? By the way, I don't have to ask the CTH people who drove. They all know who drove because you were a maniac behind the wheel. They all remember all too well who was cutting doughnuts in his wifes van all the while blasting songs by Slim Whitman and asking everyone to draw a pencil thin mustache on you. The only thing you got right here was that it was a fun trip!

The vegetation was light. I didn't run into an abandoned dump truck, it was your Explorer laying out there. It may have bent the frame on my truck. Dude, your the only one wearing glasses and I remember that you stood and talked to that old outhouse for 20 minutes before storming off calling it unreasonable. The sheet tin and the multiple old washers and dryers lying around were all in a pile. Remember, you keep saying it reminded you of your basement at home. No homeless guy was there either. That was me giving up on the hunt and deciding to get wasted on beer. My spots rock.

Quoting here from previous post by Mastereagle:
"At least I HAVE lost my virginity. You tried to pay for losing yours and the woman not only refused to take your money but PAID you to go away."

Well, all I have to say to that you two share an account, so she paid me out of your checking account.

Quoting ME again:
"Again I have to fall-back to my CTH hunting buddies for verification that I do not wear tights while detecting."

You don't have any hunting buddies.

Ok, so your fifteen year old son dismantled the thing. I think he just felt sorry for you and thought that even he could make this thing work a little better than it does. The GAMEBOY color on my XLT is simply and option I added after purchasing it to alieve some of the boredom while you and I are traveling out to hunt. It just passes the time!

Quoting ME again:
"I will drive by the place we actually hunted and shoot some footage of the place and post it later. You will see that the reason BB has such a high opinion of himself is that he has a lot of problems with size perception."

That would be the only time you will ever shoot some. That's what she said. ;)

ME22: You seem to drink a lot of it even when I am not around.

By the way, thanks for loaning me those cable ties to fix my XLT. The only reason I had to put them on my detector is because your wearing it out by asking me to check all your signals and pinpoint for you. Hey I am sorry if the ONLY time your XLT beeps is after I find a signal with the Beast and have you check it too, I am only trying to help you learn your machine.

Sorry that we had to take them off your head where you were using them as barets. Your right....Minelab does know how to make a machine that stays together you just need an entourage to help you carry it. True dat!

Oh...and it doesn't seem to work either. Sooo..you got that going for ya.

I mean, why the heck do you need to bring things like a Hazmat suit (dude when you pas gas it is rank!) , ten changes of clothes (including a lycra ballet outfit) [all that beer you drink makes you nauseous, I wish you would toss out a window buddy, ballet suit is an extra for you, you asked me to pack it] a gas mask see above, a cap gun, a pair of toe nail clippers, and enough rope to climb in the Swiss Alps? By the way, I don't have to ask the CTH people who drove. They all know who drove because you were a maniac behind the wheel. They all remember all too well who was cutting doughnuts in his wifes van all the while blasting songs by Slim Whitman and asking everyone to draw a pencil thin mustache on you.Don't know who Slim Whitman is, the doughnuts were fun and she still hasn't gotten all the grass and mud out from under the hood of the van ;D The only thing you got right here was that it was a fun trip!

Dude, your the only one wearing glasses and I remember that you stood and talked to that old outhouse for 20 minutes before storming off calling it unreasonable.I was on my cell, my wife said she saw you on the six-o'clock news and the police were looking for you, she wanted me to sneak away so as not to be your next vitim. ;) The sheet tin and the multiple old washers and dryers lying around were all in a pile. Remember, you keep saying it reminded you of your basement at home. No homeless guy was there either. That was me giving up on the hunt and deciding to get wasted on beer. My spots rock.

Quoting ME again:

You don't have any hunting buddies. That's true, I only have one friend. His name is Baldingboy :-\

Ok, so your fifteen year old son dismantled the thing. I think he just felt sorry for you and thought that even he could make this thing work a little better than it does. The GAMEBOY color on my XLT is simply and option I added after purchasing it to alieve some of the boredom while you and I are traveling out to hunt.No the Gameboy color is the ONLY thing INSIDE of your XLT box. I think the local dealer saw you coming dude. ;D It just passes the time!

Nah we have both agreed that if either of us crosses the line then the other has the right to demand that the offending party undergo a total body HOT WAX treatment. Yikes! ::) ;D :D
