how to be invisible while detecting!

[leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose.....if you have been at this hobby a long time (don't know if my 34 years qualifies) and sometimes don't feel like answering the 20,000 questions from kids or on lookers try wearing a traffic or fluorescent vest..........does work. Swing in peace lasses and bouys!

Great Idea, I actually have a power company, work vest. The one with the orange and reflective strips.
I guess it will be my new MD'ing wardrobe.

I used to think just wearing headphones was sufficient, but I still hear people yelling from 50 feet away, "DID YOU FIND ANYTHING"

Btw, i'm from CT, left a post in that section of the forum under "Anyone from CT" about some past finds..

SCHUNTER told me about this site, but I haven't found him here yet.

I sometimes thought about playing like i was deaf(using totally useless hand gestures),but with my luck I would be in a neighborhood where they may be misinterpreted as throwing up gang signs.

Another idea would to go detecting dressed up as a mime..no one would dare talking to you.Sure they may throw apples and things your way but never try and speak with you.

Want to have some fun, wear a jacket with Haz-Mat or Bomb Squad on the back. People will give you a wide berth.

 

[Rob66]

Like that, but I can still see stupid people coming up and asking "what ya doing, is there a bomb here?"

That would be a cool... one for that new show "just for laughs."

I'll wear my hunter orange hunting vest. It even has nice big pockets to put stuff in.

reminds of of years ago me and a friend, were itching to get on tattan park estate in uk, a very large mansion dates back aswell,, it was rumoured there were some old roman ruins close by, of which we found whilst walking around the area one day visiting the place. we came up with the idea, of making up some clothes to look like investigators, we got some dark blue trousers and light weight jackest's and badged them up, and some seal of tape,, when we arrived there was nobody around, so we went to the spot all dressed up lookin the part, when we got there, we put some tape up around the area we wanted to search,,, and it wasent long before the caretaker came along asking what we were doing,, my friend flashed a card badge and said its ok sir, were investigators of the south manchester police, and we have information that a firearm used in a crime had been thrown or hidden in this location,, and that he was not to release this information to anybody as of yet pending the investigation,, he stood there speachless and then said o my ok officers i'll not bother you hope you find what your looking for,, and left lol .. we just proceeded to hunt and found many roman coins, broaches, & tunic regalia, awesome, worked a treat,,,

when we were leaving we saw the caretaker coming over and he shouted find anything,,, i said no certainly wasent in the area described,, we are going back to question the person and may have to come back again, so please do not mention to anybody about our prescence here today,, o i wont he said,, and off we went happy as larry..
