Short handled Grub hoe.
This one was a recovery. Was at a old cellar hole.
No small targets even.

Christmas is over... :P

 

[releventchair]

Christmas is over... :P

Wouldn't know it around my house.
Still haven't put stuff away or downloaded pictures. Or even finished the candy. Tiny tree is still lit too. (No , I'm not lit.)

And it's never too soon for you to acquire my gift(s) for next year. Would have you in the spirit for that.
Or to avoid the Christmas rush , and drink now!

For all of you that are new to this craft.

When you do not adhere to the above three things... you threaten the craft of metal detecting.

I for one... did not spend my life building a relationship with everyone from Park Rangers on to have some "newbie" screw it up because they got a detector and decided they were just going to detect "the way they want" and screw everyone else.

There are those that adhere and there are those who don't .. or won't .. regardless of how much one preaches the sermon.

What really irks me is the people that not only don't remove the trash they dig, but they ADD to it ! Some years back there was some fool that was leaving his discarded purple nitrile gloves at sites. But besides being a pig, he was also a poor detectorist. He left some easy targets in the ground.

I for one am not one to just say "f--k it" just because of this and not try.
Again... "if your not part of a solution - Your part of the problem"

And i wont sit quiet / idle.
Love the craft too much to not say anything.

And you and everyone else should do the same... especially if you see it happening.

Have fun with that.

So you would say nothing i take it by this attitude ?

It's like telling a smoker not to smoke, or an alcoholic not to drink, or a litterbug not to litter. If they are going to do it, it makes no difference what I say .. or what you say. Now that I am an old man, I'll save my breath to cool my coffee.

Yeah ... well i cannot take that stance / attitude.
I like being able to detect where i do... and i will take whatever opportunity that arises to inform those who may NOT know the correct way to detect in hopes it takes.
Its the young that now have to carry this torch... but they cannot carry what they are not aware of or don't know.
If what I say here changes ONE persons mind about the way they detect then every stroke of the keyboard was worthwhile in my book.

I don't know about your area but here detecting has been squeezed into the crevices already... and it did not start there.
I would like future generations to have the opportunities to detect the same areas we have one day.
Not just looking out for myself... one must also be a caretaker.

I started relic hunting in 1968. I didn't need anybody to tell me to fill my holes and carry out the junk. Back then, it was called common sense and common courtesy. I guess the young ones you refer to have neither?

We have about the same time in on this hobby/passion.
Grew up looking at the ground, was also brought up with simple common sense values.

Like don't litter-yet I see it all the time.

Don't trespass-yet folks do it all the time

Ask permission-I read many accounts where it's obvious that that was never done.

The world is full of folks believing they're entitled to do what ever they like.

Ever dug someone else's dead batteries deep in the ground? Now THAT is a slap in the face.

True the Adze is usually for wood, but it could be used in dirt.
Grub Hoe is the main reference for me.
The long mixed salad one is a gagger image description for a flee Bay sale.

I'm sure if, my grandfather was still alive, and I used his adze to dig dirt, and nicked the blade on rocks, he would strangle me.

Thanks for keeping it simple!
Just follow the rules is all I ever say!
Oh maybe better..."Do Unto Others as you would have them Do Unto You."

That would be too easy to have that happen in life (last sentence)
Seems that a lot of things just falls on deaf ears.

Private hydro company is rebuilding their infrastructure across my property.

1st/2nd/3rd/4th 5th on site meeting-Don't throw cigarette butts or litter on the property.
"We got it-fully understand-never will happen" BS
Now they are sitting with an incomplete rebuild-just because it was one of the reasons they got the boot.
Plus what seems to be the entitled right to damage private property.

Off topic basically-but it shows the lack of respect others have towards others.
This and the ability to lie with a straight face to others.

Since we're venting:

I don’t get the videos of detecting a crowded beach without headphones. Why bother others with the beeping? Just tell us when you get a signal

Also, around here beggars standing at intersections with signs. They always leave a pile of trash! Unappreciative.

Times have changed, in the big city the off ramp beggers used pick up all the trash.
Have a garbage bag full to show they did good.
Headphones 🎧 oh ya!

Those old round Hoes need love too.
