Do you wear camouflage when "Relic Hunting"?
OK, I know this may be a dumb thread title but I just had to ask. I watched this video the other day on the Garrett YouTube channel and these dudes were hunting relics in Southern Mississippi and they were all decked out from head to toe in camo. The title of the video is "Relic Hunt" and these guys are dressed like they are hunting cape buffalo on an African safari.
First off, is there really a need to conceal yourself from something buried in the ground? It's not like they are hunting an animal that would run away if it spotted them.
Secondly, wouldn't you want to wear something bright so you don't accidentally get shot by some hunter? I know where I live there is always some guy in the woods just itching to blast at any bush that twitches in the breeze while praying there is some wildlife behind it. Personally, I would want to be identified as not being some sort of game animal.
So, do you dress like John J. Rambo for your woodland metal detecting trips, or are you a jeans and a white tee kind of guy? I am a noob @ MD'ing so this is information I must know. I don't want to get horse-laughed if I show up for a group hunt wearing cargo shorts, sandals, and a tie-dye Grateful Dead tee.
