I have to pull my sand scoop behind me when detecting on the beach otherwise my detector falses because of the scoop. When I get a beep every other step I know I have to drag the scoop behind me.

I have got falses from shoe eyelets. We have all been there.

I'm still laughing because I just know it is a true story...

Be careful not to burry your pin pointer. Don’t Laugh it happens to more people then you realize.

I’d be a liar if I said I didn’t buy steel toe boots for metal detecting. Still sitting outside my front door.

I left my pin pointer in the woods once and took hours to find it.. Found it right next to a spent shot gun shell

The 1st time I took my brother-in-law detecting, he had a hard time finding his target once he dug the plug, every handful of dirt gave a mid-tone signal and after I watched a while I began to laugh out loud. He began to get frustrated. I asked him to take his wedding ring off. That solve the problem.

That's why I wear Crocs when hunting the beach...

I left my pinpointer at the beach at a club dig. We got it back two months later, one of the guys found it and returned it. I sent it back to the manufacturer and they fixed it.

I like wearing my one ring, then sifting dirt in that hand. LOL

Soooooo.......that explains why.....DOH! Lol Funny stuff, but it does indeed happen. Especially with the wedding band.

Pretty funny.

There's a fellow on the Yamashita treasure legend section , who has dug a pit to some incredible depth of 60 ft. or whatever. And his starting genesis was getting a signal from 2 different varieties of metal detectors. I questioned him as to whether or not it's possible that he was simply operating the machine wrong. Or the signal came from something else, etc...... But to no avail: .... Just like in your cartoon, there's no stopping him. It means " certain treasure". With no possible other explanation at play. haha

Yep, before the days of hand held pin pointers, we would scoop a handful of dirt and pass it over the coil. On more then one occasion, I had forgotten to remove my watch. lol

For me it was my wedding band when I did that.. lol

I take a three legged folding chair to the beach. I have to throw it ahead of me or lots of falsing. A guy asked why I was doing that. He was NOT a detectorist. ╦╦Ç

Yup, been there done that. Now it automatically comes off before digging. ╦╦Ç

When I first got into digging...it only took once to learn that my old sap gloves were not too compatible. LOL 😖

I used to own sap gloves.... and a flat sap (fit into a small pocked on my cycle uniform pants). All illegal now. ╦╦Ç

I loved mine, Terry. Very...low-key. 😁 I gave mine away a few yrs ago to a young friend when he graduated from the Academy.
