Things NOT to do while Metal detecting

[Gypsy Heart]

Never place your great finds against a tree trunk, a mile into the woods and then remember them a mile out of the woods....or better yet....once you are home and say " Geez, didnt I find more than this.....

Never try to carry home fifteen railroad spikes in your back pack....you dont need more iron and you dont need a back ache.

Never walk into the woods at 5 pm thinking" I think I can hike into that old cellar hole and back out before sunset", without a flashlight......and a rosary....and garlic....and silver bullets......

Hey, the weirdest thing just happened where I found those "ferns"! http://www.fosters.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061214/NEWS0201/61214022

OMG, Ben!!!!!!!!!! Wonder if you ran into the bad guys or the cops? Glad you didn't find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time.....sheeeeeesh!
I've been seeing this stuff all over the local news!
Didn't see anywhere on the seacoast listed, tho.

Sounds like Asians coming in from Canada
SURE have DEEP pockets to buy all the houses. And then steal the electricity? huh? wazzup with that?

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE PEOPLE!

Well, I must confess to having hyped a couple of details of my end of the story, for the sake of humor. But I WAS in the woods about two miles from where some of these folks were when I passed a small patch of "stuff". I didn't actually take any, but a couple of guys did approach and suggest that I'd best find a new place to hunt. The guys in the article were growing all of their stuff indoors. They steal the electricity so that the large amount of electricity that the multitude of growings lights require doesn't trigger an investigation.

Well, you could have told them you were a fern exchange student— or, in view of your latest post, perhaps just recited some inspiring lines from Whitman's Leaves of Grass.

Use your imagination, lad. Then if that doesn't work... use your feet!

And next time be more careful. Good grief, they might have stoned you!

Never use a terrestrial detector in knee deep water and then drop it. (fortunately the detector dried out and returned to "normal" after two weeks)
Never promise everyone in the MD club will find something worthwhile on a field trip. (had to buy everyone a beer after the hunt)
Never put a 9volt battery in your pocket with loose change. (OUCH!)
And never leave home without it. (been to some great locations where a detector would have been good to have, but left it at home)

Hmm, I thought you wanted to try a new type of sky diving..
Never ever take your neighbour with you, he's greedy!
