It all begins with that little voice in the back of you’re mind say, “Ah, stay home today. Take a break. It’s probably the best thing to do today.” That’s the way it usually begins for me, just an innocent series of momentary thoughts when I’m sometimes thinking of going to the beach. Innocent? Sure, if you believe Dennis the Menace was innocent.

“Uncertainty”, that’s what that little voice is really instilling in us. It’s planting the notion that if we don’t go we might actually miss out on something. I mean, if that little voice was so damn innocent then why speak to me at all? “Relax. Stay home today. Probably just be wasting your time otherwise.” “Probably?”….and there you go, the seed that the little SOB so carefully planted. Probably is like saying, perhaps, or maybe, or, you just never know. Why has he set his sights on tormenting me like this?

“Trust”….you’d think you would be able to trust that little voice inside your own head but I can’t tell you the number of times he’s screamed, “DUDE! GO TO THE BEACH! GOLD AWAITS YOU!” It’s awful hard to keep placing your trust in voice with a long history of steering you in the wrong direction. “Go ahead, Dude. She really likes you.” I still carry the emotional and mental scar from that 7th grade disaster. At best he throws you a bone every now and then just to regain your trust and confidence, and then, just like yesterday, he plays that mind-game on you again, “Stay home, probably won’t miss much, but then again, you just might get lucky and have one of those golden days?” Yep, I bit and three hours later I was wondering why? One of these days I’m really going to get him back and then we’ll see who’s laughing. I mean, it's my head and I can create other little voices. Can’t wait to hear what he has to say when they start chiming in. :thumbsup::laughing7:

Should I post this response??? yeah go ahead..... but someone may not agree with your point of view......screw them if they don't actually READ THE WORDS RIGHT and take it wrong.... but there you go again not caring about others...... delete, delete, delete.... If you leave this page your message will be lost..... Oh just turn off the computer and go hunting.... you can't find gold in your chair.....
 

Who is this little voice, anyway? Think I saw him once but not certain. :laughing7:
 

I hate the fact that even though I know better, I still listen to him.
 



greed, lust, gluttony, etc:
 

I have the angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other. Devil always wins out and that's why my finds stink!!!
 

Living as close as you do to the beach I would go everytime I thought about it... Takes me 1:15 mins to get there 1:15 to get home, $20 gas and $5 to park.... More you hunt the higher your odds are of finding soemthing good...... 100% guaranteed you want find that $10,000 diamond ring in your easy chair..
 

Are you kidding!! I don't own an easy chair! Seems like I :walk:for miles. Trying to get this place wired. It will happen. Trouble is, the whole time I'm striking out, I keep thinking of what I should be doing:angel5:

It's not you...."it's that little voice"....he's such a killjoy sometimes. :laughing7:
 

All the cats mewing in my head agree: You is funny BS!

Years ago, that "voice" kept telling me to go to a particular resort spot and hunt. I kept telling it to "be quiet", I had never found anything really good, at that spot. It was New Years, and I waited about 3 days, before I could get up to the spot. Pulled out a BEAUTIFUL, HEAVY unmarked 18k, GIANT tourmaline mans' ring.
Sometimes, ya gotta trust the voice! :laughing7:
 

Yep its 4am on Labor day my headmate is screaming. Dude grab the shark,scoop and some coffee the hunt is on. Damit Jim
 

Just go !!! It could turn out to be the next Banner Find !!
 

I married that doubting voice 7 years ago, funny thing is I still love her.
It sounds like... don't you want to stay home and clean the house or go shopping. You only going to find trash and I'll find it in the washing machine .
