well went to a park today that I have been to when I have my old garrett gtx. I thought it was cleaned out but good old dfx found it. I had pre amp 4 accepting everything and sweepspeed at 2. My first dig was a no date buffalo. Then I dug a ring that looked as though it was a cheapo class ring it seems to be copper. It says highschool around the stone but no exact school. Then while I was digging my next target I was swarmed with 10 to 12 year olds. They followed my every move asking me every question in the book. I showed them the detector and how on most stuff I could tell what the item was going to be before I dug it up. A couple of quarters later they believed me. They were annoying me so much by trying to dig the holes and standing directly in front of me so it was difficult to swing the detector. Finally had to go to work. Anyway in a hour pulled $1.37 clad the buffalo the ring a small silver earring and a silver linked braclet broking in 3 pieces. Anyone else have the kid problem when detecting ? and know a polite way to say get the heck out of here.

yeah thats what I meant the older kids. The little ones are ok. My friend that detects with me plays little jokes on them and tell them things like we work for the government recovering land mines......stuff like that. He got these to teenagers to both bend over and spell run 3 times fast.... I was laughing so hard I had to go and sit down for a bit.
 

I really don't mind the youngin's coming around. When they do (mostly at the beach)....I will find a spot and give them my scoop and they dig...if they find something nice (not trash)...they get to keep it. But one scoop find per kid LOL!!! I only get one or two at a time, if they come around.

That happened at the base a month or so ago. This one young man followed me around...so I let him detect and dig the spot. Of course he found a bullet. He thought it was so cool and showed his mom. His mom said she knew what she was going to get him for Christmas...a new detector and possible member coming soon!!!!!!!!! :)

The teens....I have had my run in with a few groups...funny, they won't do it alone...but put a buddy with them and they try to be show offs. Sometimes I have to remember I am the ADULT here and I have to remember they are just young teens, prob 18 and under and anything I say or do may result in dealing with the law...so I try very hard to bite my tongue...even though the guy with the quarter remark...I couldn't hold back :)
