My girls and I went to the river today, they wanted to swim and I wanted to look around with my detector, the one day I have some free time and would'nt you know it, the batteries died, so of course I could'nt find anything. We ended up trying to catch crayfish and minnows.

Lesson learned:always carry a spare set of batteries with you or in the car!!!!

No back up batteries? We all learn the hard way.

Didn't we already have a thread about a girl in a bikini and a detector with dead batteries?

I rode my bike there and there is a gas station across the street from the path leading to the river but they did'nt have any of the batterys I needed (9volts)

You tried! I would have done the same thing.A true MDer

I always carry a spare stick or spares for whatever detector I am going to use in my goodie pouch. There is nothing like being miles from the car and having the machine go dead on you. Been there-done that

So did you go swimming with the girls?

 

[Spidey]

I've thought about having spare batteries in the car, but in 90-100 degree heat, isn't that bad on the batteries? The spares won't last long.

Yes...and she asked 'Where is the Energizer Bunny when I need him?

 

[Rob66]

I always... have my batteries on me.I would hate... to have to walk clear back to my truck just for batteries.A hip pouch would do, for batteries and a few other stuff..

Yes, but the Energizer Bunny died because somebody put the batteries in backwards...instead of going, going and going...he kept..............................................

Not the worst thing that could have happened. Look on the bright side-you got to spend some quality time with your girls. That's a treasure too!

 

[Rob66]

In a situation like that.. I would just spend the day scouting the place ...where people go,what they are doing, where they are swimming, what they are wearing bling... bling....
