yup a real quick way to f**k it up for sure!..gotta "respect" another man's property!
ya really can't think, well, i'll try to dodge security for a couple of hours,hunt,get pitched,then two weeks later come back again!
sorry,those days are gone,gone,gone!..try that today,and get arrested for trespassing,and your detector confiscated!,and possibly
even shot! world has changed! i'm just sayin'

j.t.

1. Digging on private property without asking
2. not filling holes/making a mess
3. At the beach - detecting during peak hours around people. I guess this would go for parks/crowded places too
4. Not being nice to people when they ask questions
5. telling people you are looking for wedding rings
6. putting bad targets back in the ground

all true! sometimes it takes the patience of 'job'
to talk nicely with people when hunting,HOWEVER,this
is what we must do. being "diplomatic" is part of the hobby!
