Awkward Moments in Metal Detecting:
*That awkward moment when you’re trying to explain to a non-detectorist why you detect.
*That awkward moment when you’re showing the awesome stuff you just found to your buddy, and you realize they got skunked.
*That awkward moment when your hunting partner realizes he or she should have bought a better machine.
*That awkward moment when you score a great find while going over the same area your detecting buddy was just searching.
*That awkward moment when you’re ready to hit the woods, your buddy forgot his insect repellant & you realize yours is almost gone.
*That awkward moment when you have to remind someone to fill in their holes.
*That awkward moment when someone asks if you’ve got any extra batteries; your display indicates yours are almost out, and you have to decide whether or not to give them your extras.
*That awkward moment when someone contributes your good finds to luck, not skill.
*That awkward moment when you are asked where you found something, and you don’t want to tell.
*That awkward moment when a friend thinks they’ve found a piece of gold jewelry. You know its not gold, but you don’t want to ruin their high.
*That awkward moment when you arrive at a site (after a long drive of course), and realize you’ve forgotten your shovel.
*That awkward moment when a passer by asks “Does that thing really work?”
*That awkward moment when you realize you are actually relating to some of these awkward moments…
