Why NOT to post selfies, finds, personal details (where you live, hunt), etc

[Treasure_Hunter]

Whats a selfie ?? The places I go to are hard to find on a map. I can put myself where I'll never be found !

Selfie is a picture of yourself...

welcome to tnet. Where one view is as good as another.

I've seen a certain amount of paranoia in some treasure hunters, so I ain't offended at all by her post. I like to see the finds posted. I find lots of stuff but nothin I feel folks would want to look at most of the time. As far as poaching one of my sites, I ain't worried about that. In fact, over the years I've done a whole bunch of historical research, interviews, field surveys, etc., and know some sites that might actually produce a little somethin. I ain't never gonna get to em, so best of luck to you if you want them. Catch is you will have to wrangle permission to check them out. One in the Texas Panhandle I wish somebody would look at. (GaRebel1861 I caught that 'Bless your heart' remark. Hardly ever hear that anymore and I don't think anybody else understood what that really means!)

I will never tell you or anyone that it's behind my home on an old dirt road going toward the Duck River. So PLEASE.... everyone... now hear this. This is MY special spot and you all should find your OWN horseshoe hot spot!!!

And I'll pile on here also.... I'm getting damn sick and tired of all the requests from all you T-netters calling and PMing me about my horseshoe hot spot. I will never tell you or anyone that it's behind my home on an old dirt road going toward the Duck River. So PLEASE.... everyone... now hear this. This is MY special spot and you all should find your OWN horseshoe hot spot!!! Once I find the other 3 Golden Horseshoe's I might share this spot (Ga boy stole one).... maybe I'll share! I'll let you hunt T.C. I'm in a good mood today.

Metal detecting and bad ass just don't seem to fit together. Metal detecting and geek however, do seem to fit. The only thing that ever made me a bad ass was when I ate an entire box of Circus fun cereal. After that people feared me.

FWIW...so did I, it became a quick lesson in the scientific effect of mass amounts of food coloring, coupled with the miracle that is our digestive system...I had never seen a rainbow in a toilet before.

Dang and just when I thought I was getting close to figuring out where your horseshoe honey hole was. I was getting tired of sitting up in this tree with binoculars like Arty Johnson. Slinking away now.

Well, this went south in a hurry, didn't it? They always do when Jeff-Gordon participates though.
To the OP: I have heard of people's ideas and sites being pillaged by so called " friends " on Facebook, but that serves 'em right for using a girly-man site anyway. You will never catch a genuine Tnet badass on FB...just the posers!
Just FYI : Usually any pictures of finds I post are because I am a noob and dummy just wondering what it is that I have found. If you can find it, there are people here that can identify it with the aid of a picture of course!

For a lot of members this site is an outlet to share what you have found and the excitement you experienced. Like the new guy who is all excited about the 22 cents and some rusted nails he just found in his yard. He post because he is excited and knows that we can relate. If you tell your coworkers they don't get it. Your more likely to get a blank look.
So keep posting what ever got you excited or made the hunt so great.

YOU, are actually one of the most important ppl, I know of.

Like many here, who are of the same heart, we share...... We show and tell, laugh, cry, get mad, we run the gamut of life, not always agreeing, but respectful of each other. I've yet to see when one cried out, others were not there to offer a hand.
WHERE does one find THAT in life?

I know and have met some/many here, some I know, that I have not met yet. I love our picnics and get togethers, that IS fellowship with REAL PEOPLE, not a virtual internet world. I've had a little spam, but doubtfully actual "stalkers", lol. Not many, could actually put up with me, LOL.

So I find, there is actually treasure among treasures, not in the material objects that are found, but in the ppl, that are found.
That's the secret to real treasure, imho.

So I hope the op will also come back and participate, to the point she is comfortable.
Dog knows, there's way too much testosterone, flying around this place here!



eta: OH DOG, my eyes my eyes....... THAT wasn't THERE before I clickededed, oh noooo......
GIB we got our own Canadians over here.......

I am 67 Been married 46 Years. Is it wrong that I think that Guy with the woman looks Good?

Actually if they live long enough they will look back at those pictures and say. Dang! We looked good!

 

[Escape]

I think everyone looks good. Unless you act badly then you don't look so good.

 

[clv]

So just was was the this about anyway?

 

[Limitool]

Yea I hope she comes back and levels out...? Not everything we all post here is as serious as life. We ALL know when someone is serious, when something is serious and mostly when were kidding around like children... right?

To each their own -

Seeing others finds gets my detecting itch into high gear - so happy others post their junk and jewels so it gives me a better idea of what I may encounter - lot of junk for each good find keeps me from getting frustrated pulling pull tabs and nails.

Don't run into many folks in my main hunting spot here in Yacolt - but to me it's a chance to chat them up, give out a few cards - 4 out of five of the old timers I chat with have given me great leads - where a old mining camp was, the gravel pit where Chinese worker mined the rock for the 1910 railroad, the old swimming holes.

No one I know is into detecting, so this board gives me a chance of community posting of my highs and lows - nothing "Bad Ass" about it - just sharing the joy and frustration with other who has been there, done that, and have the t-shirt.

Good luck on your hunts MM -

It's becoming harder to stay completely anonymous online these days.
Some cameras (including some cell phone cameras) can include your geographic coordinates in the JPG image metadata (EXIF data) without your knowledge.
Thankfully, many web-based forum strip that data, as well as other fields, before allowing the image to post to a public forum such as this.
But some sites do not.

Caveat actor.

Just to be sure, there's programs like Exifpilot that'll let you erase or manipulate the data. Great tool to add coordinates if your camera doesn't. And you can't beat the price!!

A funny example on how to test friends or potential partners. A friend wasn't sure if he could trust his friend so I changed the lat long on some of his site photos to a location two counties over. He sent them to his friend and went out to the bogus coordinates and sure enough his friend now ex showed up detector in hand.
