I got asked accusingly(Or at least the way it sounded like) by an older man with a German accent(Was unnerved, like I was in trouble) for looking for cables in the botanical gardens, luckily his sons helped him out a bit distracting him talking about other stuff, he had that "being rubbed the wrong way for no reason" thing about him.
The other times onlookers thought I was looking for water.
The worst however is having a 13yo girl ask you: "What makes you think you will find something"?

Some strange guy started following me around the beach talking ten to the dozen,telling me that his friend bought a metal detector for R70,000.00, walked onto a beach and found the rarest coin in SA with his first find and became an instant millionaire.Ya, :-\ :-\
This guy, about 35 yo tells me he.s saving up so he can buy one when he retires, then he'll start hunting.The more I told him he could start a bit earlier for as little as R3500.00 and get a great Garrett Ace 250, the more he wanted to pay R70k for the best. :-[
While he's talking away, I get a hit and start digging....... He promptly sits down next to me and tells me half of my find is his...Idiot >:(
I unearthed 3 tent pegs and offered him a few bottle tops.Luckily he became disinterested and walked away. Phew!!!
-
Lol Digga
The wierd and wonderful world we live in hey...Well, if he wants to spend R70 k, let him go ahead..... Who knows, in his mid he might not find anything with a "Cheap" machine. Next time advise him to rather purchace a "GPR"...That should set him back quite a few hundred thousand....lol

:o This same idiot comes out the sea behind me this morning, catching me unawares. Wanting to know what I had found. I told him, oh, quite a few old coins. He replied, Oh I dont have to dig for them, my mom just gives them to me. ??? wheres the fun in that.
Then this Indian lady comes up to me and asks if I have found any sea lice yet. ::) ::)
On my way back to the car, a guy from Cape Town says to me that down there, his friend drags a magnet up and down the beach and all the coins stick to it. :'( :'(

True story

Metal detecting with Sam
After I retired, I met a new detecting buddy named Sam. Sam loves to detect metal as much as I do. My wife has never met Sam and always feels that I spend too much time metal detecting. The other day I took a picture of Sam wearing the 24ct gold necklace and pendant we found, I showed the picture to my wife. Now my wife says that I can't go detecting with Sam anymore and wants me to sell my detectors and other gear. Guess she doesn't like me enjoying myself with my detecting buddy! Maybe it's because Sam is a better detectorist than she is, I don't know.
What would you do? Tell her to forget it and continue hunting treasure with Sam, OR quit metal detecting and sell the detectors? Please help me out.
Scroll down for picture of Sam wearing the chain.

Here's a good one. Every time I load my detectors in the car the nosy old lady next door asks me "Are you going shooting again?". I guess the Minelab detector carry bags looks a lot like gun carry bags to the untrained eye. I have not helped her right yet because I like to watch the expression on her face when I pack a shovel and pick too :) I bet she thinks I'm a professional hitman or something. I wonder how long it will take for the police to pull me over to search my car.

Jeez that is grazy funny

Hi,
I met my share of crazies out there, once when hunting a suburban lawn I was approached by an inquisitive gentleman asking what I am doing with the beeping stick.
I explained briefly that I am looking for artefacts.
What are artefacts he asked?
I replied that it was old stuff.
Oh, he said - can you help me find my Grandfather.
-
I had a woman who was walking her dog come up to me while I was ferociously digging a hole and say that "It's probably a bottle top"....2 minutes later I pulled a gold ring from the earth and had the last laugh!!
-
I've also had someone ask me if I was looking for diamonds?....my reply..."only if they are attached to a huge lump of gold!!

" KEEP CALM & KEEP DIGGING "

I went to PTHS here in Pretoria in the late 80's early 90's. There was I science fare thing I took part in. The one teacher new I had built a home made MD which I still have. So they asked me to enter this fare this with my detector. The day I brought it to school I we to go show one of the other science teachers in the school. While showing it to her she asked me how it works, by asking me if it worked using infra - red? For real and she was a science teacher. I never forgot that.
-
Looks like its true.
RUGBY PLAYERS ARE ALSO MADE IN JAPAN... ;)
-
Happy digging!!!
-
Not really metal detecting related, more towards archeology... ::)

I didn't think I would get a smart Alec on my second day...I did.
I was on Peter Pan beach when this guy and his wife was setting up for the day close to where I was sweeping. He kept on making this beeping sound, annoying me, and I'm sure his wife too. Finally I just plucked off my headphones and told his wife:"I think there is something wrong with your husband's pacemaker, it keeps on going BLEEP!"
He didn't think it was funny, but she did.

A rather amusing video I came across using pin pointers.
