The Detecting Man With a Hat

[John Winter]

… what do we usually see on the head of the detectorist? The favourite gear seems to be either nothing or an adjustable, impersonal, plastic and nylon freebie baseball cap made in Taiwan, and advertising a detector manufacturer …

Or a University of Texas Longhorn Cap, except when I used to wear my "Que Mires Pendejo" cap...

I buy my hats at yard sales and thrift stores. If Fisher research labs wants me to wear a hat with their logo, they'd give me one. I refuse to pay $15 for a hat to advertise for anyone.

So, ladies do not detect, or is it that they do not ever wear hats when they detect? I am confused.

Got a ****load of caps from a friend. Have been wearing most of them since. Only have a problem with one from B.C. about a "damn" seagull.

I have 2 I wear, USAF Veteran or Desert Storm Veteran.

I wear a blue cap with the gold Navy "N" on the front. I bought it in the NEX, at Great Lakes, when my son graduated basic training 6 years ago. It's my favorite. Like Loco-Digger, I don't pay to advertise for anyone.

State Police cap I bought at a yard sale. Don't get many complaints when I wear that one.

I prefer my boonie cover in sun and rain. The ball cap I wear is desert camo w/a hawkeye patch on it. Winter weather I swap for a basic black knit cap.

I do not wear caps or hats while detecting. Good hunting and good luck.

Any old thing, doesn't matter to me.

With my red haired balding head I have to wear a cap or suffer a burn! Usually I wear one of those free hats companies give away just to get their name out in the general public. I think it was last year sometime when TH made a post stating Kellyco was having a sale on

Kellyco All Around Hat - Olive / Black- Kellyco

for a great price - so I ordered one.

I wore it for the first time Saturday for about 3 1/2 hours in the water. No burnt head or neck! So, that'll be what I'll wear in the water from now on (mostly).

I wear a Daiwa fishing cap from the 1980's. Used to do a lot of bass fishing back in the day. One of the few caps I've found that actually fits my enormous head! LOL!

I don't know if I'd answer the door if you were knocking to get permission. I try to look as non threatening as possible when I am looking for permissions.
