Can you be more specific? What about the phrases do you need to know?

Or do you want to learn more? :icon_scratch:

I want in on your T-Shirt business Bob! LOL!!

I'm not sure how many you will get that describe the ART of Metal Detecting, but how about just some other general phrases used in metal detecting:

Low and slow (Love that dirt baby, AAHHHHhhhhhhhh............)
Hunt it like you lost it (and pretend like it wasn't yours)
Eat your wheaties (If you want to reap your silver)
Dig 'em all (Let DP Bob sort 'em out)
Good 'un (Nuff said)
Coin poppin' (Clad Master)
Cherry pickin' (not to be confused with nose pickin')
Cherry poppin' (oh wait, urrr... no forget that one)
Beaver tail (not to be confused with the tail at the Silver Slipper)
Wilver (ZOMG I said IT oh NOes!1!1!!!1!!!1)
Dirt Detective (10-4)
Treasure Hunter's Oath (rule number one, don't give away the site... rule number two, never talk about the rules)
Nighthawking (trespassing at night)
Crackbadger (nickname for anyone who's kicking ass finding loot at the moment)
Wandering Fool (anyone who hunts like they have ants in their pants)
Nitro (Any object that makes your heart stop for a split second, and then you find out it's just junk)
Sleeper Cell (Any group of MD'ers that don't post online or affiliate with a local club)
Douche Bag (A detectorist that lurks online waiting to complain about stuff who gets into little intelligent battles with other detectorists, they think they are top sh!t and your Ace 250 or Bounty Hunter is a kid's toy)
Skunked (Coming away from a site without finding any old coins, or whatever it is that you value)
A Twistidd (Gashing your hand open on 'the precious' bottle or other artifact. I almost pulled a twistidd the other day recovering a deep fishing weight under a sh!tload of roots, where there was a humongous wino cap with jagged pieces of wino container still left in said cap. Visions of Twistidd's bloody hand sent shivers down my spine... oh man. I never want to have that day happen. Hopefully this is a term that doesn't get used much.)
Dirt Golfing (When a detectorist is swinging his rig like he's playing putt-putt golf, foward and reverse)
Waxing The Bowl (another term for Dirt Golfing)

I'll let you guys chime in for awhile... I could keep going and going...
