DigDeep Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 You know you are a real detectorist when.........All of your shirts have a hole in them on the shoulder where you carry you pick. You become a pro at metal eyelet removal from your boots.When walking in the mall and you here a wee woo and you suddenly stop and look down. (I did this LOL)When you say to yourself I need to get a hobby.Anyone, please add if you got some...... Quote
srferjo714 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 When you tell your wife your going detecting and she gives you that look. And then the words, why you never find anything but lead.A hole in the right knee if your pants.When you become an expert at getting your truck stuck in the sand.When you become an expert at digging your truck out of the sand.

Tony Teixeira Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Let us not forget, A: When you pray to God and ask that "lead" have a spot price of $500 and ounce.B: When you can take a piss without getting posion oak on your...... C: When your Honey DO list looks like a Honey DO book. Tony Teixeira Quote

Guest sandtrap Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 You know you are a seasoned detectorist when the little skunks following you ,call you "Grandpa".. Quote
EnigmaticEngineer Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 You know you are a detectorist when...Your daughter starts to ask what we are doing this weekend then stops short and says, 'nevermind, I know...'You don't buy fast food anymore because Stanton doesn't have a McDonalds...You grocery shop and Circle K or a QT on your way out of town because Safeway is 3 blocks out of the way... Quote
sandracer Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 When you start to use phrases like, "Detecting is like fishing. It doesn't matter whether or not you find gold each time; it still beats working."When you tell you son to go ahead and take your fishing boat to his place because you're just not using it anymore.When you are happy to find trash, boot tacks and such, because it means the area hasn't been picked over too badly by other detectorists.When you pray for heavy seasonal rains to wash a bit more of the surface away. (And then pray for the ground to hurry up and dry) Quote
DigDeep Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 Here is another you know you are a detectorist whenNot only do you become an amateur geologist and know what rocks names are, but you also learn which rocks by shape and texture are the most efficient for wippin' your rear end after leaving some butt mud.

dutch john Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 You know you are a detectorist when you get up a 3:00 AM to drive 100 miles;park the truck and walk in many miles to hunt and find a three gram nugget; thenwalk back to the truck, now stumbling in the dark; taking the wrong gravel road;and finally home again about midnight to be greeted by a worried wife.

EnigmaticEngineer Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 When instead of whistling the latest tune, you whistle a perfect threshold tone and the sound your particular detector makes over a nugget.... Quote
grubstake Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 When you give your detector a name, and forget your wifes!When you spend two hours cleaning your detector, after a hunt, but you vehicle hasn't been washed for three months. Grubstake Quote
