Whats the significance of your selected profile name?

mine is because I love taking the "loot" from the dirt, the treasure that is hidden out of sight that so many people walk on daily. my wife would ask me, "so what kind of loot did you dig up today?" When I was a kid, my loot was my marbles and "cool stuff" in my leather bag. a man stopped and asked me what I was working so hard for with that little digger in the hard packed clay and gravel, I showed him the pull ring as I pulled it out. He thought I was nuts and as he walked away, I heard him say, "All that for that? I would just dig gold jewelry if it were me."
 

My name is Joe. I'm from Montana.

Ah, GIB, I see you've met Murphy....sorry!

I was going to list my state MA, then the sweet sound of my detector over a good target- beep beep, but didn't want to be known as "ma", heard that enough from the kids!
So went with ms - Ms. ( Instead of Mrs.) thus-msbeepbeep I get a chuckle when someone calls me a guy! But on here you don't know gender unless the name states it or you've seen something in the posts. Even the avatars are confusing at times.

So just the facts in my case.

Born a Cajun and still a Cajun. The outlaw half of my name is in reference to me kinda dancing to the beat of a different drum. Rules just look good on paper imo.

My profile name is a way for me to show a little love to the first coin I ever found metal detecting . I found it on my very first day of swinging a coil with my favorite metal detecting buddy . My 11 yr old son , who is the reason I get up in the morning and the last person I see before I go to bed at night.

It's the name of the salvage/recovery core I have been trying to form for the last few years after having to put on hold due to circumstances.
