Re: What is the stupidest comment you have heard from some one while detecting!!

I was detecting a rather large park when a woman and her son asked me what I was doing, I told her that " according to all the historical facts I could find and with the help of my GPS, this is the exact spot where Captain Crunch has buried a chest of his crunchberries and I intend to find them before anyone else does!", she walked away saying I was a crazy a**ho*e and the little boy saying "mommy, I want some crunchberries"!! when I told my wife this story she laughed hysterically!!

I told this story about a year ago in another thread but I think it's worth repeating:

One day, while hunting on a beach, a woman about 60 walked up and asked me if I would metal detect her head. She said a metal plate had been put in her head a few years back and she wondered if it would be detectable. She was delighted when it caused a very loud beep. Then I got out my hand-held pinpointer and exactly located it for her. It seemed to make her day. It certainly made mine.

But I'd pass if someone asked me if I could detect their pacemaker....wouldn't be a good idea.

I had a 7-8 year old kid ask me if I was a poor man because I was metal detecting.

I'm a nuisance wildlife control specialist, I was detecting the local high school and I had my company truck with me. As I was digging a target a man asked me if I was trapping moles.

I was on a big beach, in the water.
"Does that thing run on batteries?"
This answer to this one was so obvious it nearly left me in complete silence. All I could think to reply back was , "Yes. Why yes it does. How did you know?"

"Did you know this is school property"? "Yes, I helped pay for it".

"How much do you charge to find a property line stake"?

"Are you the guy who finds and marks the underground utilities"?

"Who told you you could do that here"? (Public park with no legal restrictions) "No one, I own part of it".

Yesterday while hunting in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco this Chinese guy came up to me and asked me if I was trying to kill the gophers! The parks in S.F. are infested with gophers with their gopher mounds all over the place. His english wasn't that great, he actually said "mouse" insted of gophers!

So I said "yes sir" and quickly reached in my bag and offered half of my tabs and can slaw. Shaking his head
in disgust he walked off.

A number of years ago, I was working for a large service company, had just got off work and still had on my coveralls. My buddy flagged me down and ask if I wanted to hunt a park with him. We had just got started when two bus loads of kids started unloading with picnic baskets. The teacher/driver ask what we were doing? I replied that we were just getting ready to turn on the park sprinklers. It only took them 5 minutes to load back up.

They knocked down a BIG tree in a historic area. There was nothing else to get to so The Kid and I MD'd the huge root structure. (They had dragged the trunk to the road.) So some guy comes along and asked a bizarre question--something like were we looking for disease and if we were from the EPA or something. I could see he had psychiatric issues. I acted most professional and told him that we were certainly looking in to it. (The Kid was like 11.) Then I told him we were sorry, that we needed to get back to work. Satisfied, he left.

OMG! You just reminded me of something. Years ago my kid swallowed a dart. Well not the entire thing--just the part between the point and the "feather" part.

(There was an old lady who swallowed a fly. I don't know why she swallowed a fly. Perhaps she'll die.)

The two young physicians in the ER, in humor, wondered if they could pick it up with a metal detector. So they went off and got one. And got a hit on The Kid's belly. Kid got a kick out of it too.

To this day I tease him:

There was a young man who swallowed a dart. I don't know why he swallowed a dart. Perhaps he'll fart.
