That was a good one! 
I will now be taking the "treasure van" on a long trip to go after some buried treasure. If I find what I am going after, everything will change. If I come back empty handed, so be it. At least I can say I tried. As Jack Hoffman of Gold Rush fame would say "No guts, no glory".

That's it? A quote from the great scholar Hoffman?
As a lot of people say about Hoffman (a paraphrase from Thomas Tusser) "a fool and his money are soon parted".
Good luck on your new journey. Keep the rubber side down.

The thrill of the hunt, there's nothing like it, except maybe a find! I know your feeling, but my 1 in 10 ratio is still holding. Frank...
That's a creepy looking guy. That's not ECS is it?
The hunt is okay but I am ready for a find. Does the 1 in 10 mean 1 treasure for every 10 holes dug? If that were the case for me I am long overdue. I am thinking it is important to dig in the exact right spot. I am working on getting better at that. We will see what happens. I could use some help from the experts such as vor and ECS but all they seem to want to do is make fun of me.
I came up with an acronym today for ECS's type of person. I am going to call it being a Toadstool.
T-tired O-old A-asinine D-dude S-sitting-T-there O-offending O-others L-lives. A troll on a toadstool. Ha Ha I'm so funny. I make me laugh. Oops me pee me pants.

He is from a da Vinci sketch book. It was used in one of his paintings. Hay, would you mess with someone that looked like that? Frank...

It's more like one find in 10 cache hunts. Frank...

I think it is something like the most active hunter catches the most flack. Hay, they have to have a target don't they. The thing is it is mostly in fun. Frank...

NO GUTS,NO GLORY,NO TREASURE
Watching a scaramouch brag about all the treasure he is going to find,while his band of sycophants applaud his cleverness while they explore all styles of digging in various topography.
After hole after every empty hole is dug,he will explain that a dowser led him to this site,while his LRL technician with his garage door opener microwave toaster LRL relates that something was once here.
The last five minutes of each show are used for his puerile rants against his critics,with additional comments from his band of sycophants.
Yes,that is what AMERICA needs,a treasure hunting show with lesser expectations.

As always you look at the dark side of everything. I will again state for the record-the production company is not counting on me finding treasure for the show to be successful. Consequently they will not be asking me to fake finding treasure as is done in some other shows. In no way does this mean that I plan on not finding treasure. Just the opposite, I DO PLAN ON DIGGING UP TREASURE. This will be my chance to prove what I am made of for all the world to see. Yes it is possible that I will fail miserably as I truly believe ECS hopes to happen. After all the negativity he has shown for me, my old pal Ovid, my stories, methods, etc, he will be the one that looks the FOOL, not me.
ECS-You do not belong on Treasurenet. Your constant disdain of myself and others goes against the very spirit of what this site should be about. You are so full of your so-called "facts" that they are now spewing out of your behind and it is beginning to stink around here. Because of you and your kind I have come close to quitting this site. I don't need any of your type of crap. Please crawl back under the hole from which you came.

BDD,can you unequivocaly state that you never shown negativity to me and others on this and other threads when questioned on some of your stated "facts".When confronted with conflicting historical documentation,instead of responding with a resonable exchange of opinions,you attack the messenger and resort to name calling.I am not the only one you have shown disdain.
I admit that I have used satire and parody in responce to your negative remarks,but have not ever told you or anyone else to leave TN,nor resorted to calling others names or showing disdain as you implied.
Just because I disagree with your claims,or the claims of others,does not mean I want you to fail.Many of my posts are a historical perpective on the matter being discussed,be it Confederate gold,Beale,etc,not to tell someone they are wrong,but to provide additional insight to the matter being discussed.
Do you take it all so personal because you turn most threads into the BDD show when you post?
There will always be critics and people that disagree with you,that will never change.

If I may put on my smoking jacket and light the after dinner pipe while I ponder a response to the obvious. It was once said by Mr. Livingston that "We do live in the age of the sycophant. While democratizing in some ways, social media has also created a means to create blood loyal fans who opt for passion instead of mindful choice." I say, "hee hee...you said sycophant..hee hee!"

ECS said - "I admit that I have used satire and parody in responce to your negative remarks,but have not ever told you or anyone else to leave TN,nor resorted to calling others names or showing disdain as you implied." REALLY? UH...DUH... sycophant = fawning parasite! Need something for the short term memory problem there ECS?

REALLY? Did I call YOU a sycophant by name?Or for that matter EVER refered to you at all?
What one perceives from anothers remarks is quite revealing. I know you would agree.
ECS-Read a little closer. I am not Bigdogsbud. The bottom line is your intent. You are always trying to prove that I am wrong and that the treasures I seek CAN"T be there. Never do you try to show that they CAN be there. That is the NEGATIVITY that I talk about. I really only feel sympathy for you. You keep reading, I will keep digging. I rather imagine it will probably be me that finds the treasures. Good bye, I am off on another of my treasure trips.
