What does your user name mean?

[Detector]

Detector is short for "that guy with the detector"

I have been swing a detector for 30 years and locals would refer to me as that guy with the detector. In the 80's I started a BBS(before the Internet) and I used the user name Detector because everyone knew who that was. When the Internet came along I just kept using it.

[Bearharold]

Bearharold is my handle some of my friends said I was big and grouchy like a Bear and my name is Harold so they started calling me Bearharold . Also no one else has had this handle yet and makes it easy to get registered on sites cause this handle is never taken already.


Harold

[sllingshot47]

My golf teacher only gave me one lesson and said that would do me for life. I kept bugging him and he told me to imagine my arms were the slings and my clubhead the pouch and to make myself into a slingshot. That was my last lesson.

[SkiWhiz]

Ski Whiz is a brand of snowmobile (made by Massey Ferguson) way back in the day. I always wanted one when I was younger, many years later I found one for sale not too far away from where I live so I bought it & fixed it up. Steve.

[nyjrbethelct]

nyjr=my initials
bethel=my town
ct=connecticut

I was in a hurry to sign up that day and wasn't really using my imagination. Now I'm bored with it.

[F CLEF]

F Clef is the bass clef in written music (as the "G" clef is the treble clef)
I'm a performing/teaching bassist,so it fits! (although I'd rather be a full time detectorist!!)

[RIdetector]

RI the state I live in ,detector I guess no good reason.I should change it to HAVENOTFOUNDANYSILVERINAWHILE

[toehead]

I was young I had a full head of very light ( almost white ) hair, now I would be happy with any hair . I told someone at work that I used to have very light hair and they started calling me toehead. Toe for short now.

[CoolAzDad]

When I first adopted this "User Name", I was located in Northern Nevada (gets real cold in the winter). However, I was born and raised in Arizona, and have four sons that were all born in AZ.
= CoolAzDad.......


Thankfully I am now back in sunny Arizona (I like the hunting season here much better)

[hoser]

I had someone from an astronomy forum I used to be on dub me as Hoser because I live in northern Michigan and they were from the southern part of the state. And it has stuck ever since. They said I reminded them of one of the McKenzie brothers.........EH!

[Foundit]

I love finding what I am looking for, i.e. rocks, gold, relics, wild mushrooms, good fish'n spots, and whatever is under my search coil, and when ever I am successful in my endeavour, I always say aloud or quietly to myself,
"Yes, found it"

[Howey01]

Mine is just a name some friends stuck on me in my younger days

[square dots]

My rank in the Army, Chief Warrant Officer 3 (CW3). The rank is my avatar and has, well, square dots....

[Michigan Badger]

My user name "Michigan Badger" was given to me by a member of another forum back about 6 years ago.

Until then I simply went by "Minelab" due to being a Minelab buff all the way.

How it happened was I started a thread about a lumber camp I had found. I was digging hundreds of pounds of iron relics and the site looked like a war zone.

As I recall the member's handle was "Gypsy." She wrote something like: "You dig like a badger up there in Michigan" (or words to that affect). Others ran with it and it was a big joke so I decided to adopt the handle for my forum memberships.

Today this is the only forum with the one and only true Michigan Badger.

[Gander]

Gander:
Back in 1970, I used to be a heavy user on the C.B. radio. My handle was Gander. Later on when I had a family, my wife was the Goose, and my kids gooslin (daughter) and goslin (son). Gander is a male goose, but my last name is a male duck, I didn't want to be a Mallard and already a Drake, so I call myself... Gander.

Funny thing about Gander (me) is, I can't hardly swim a lick and when I do, I swim just like a rock. Straight to the bottom.

[nightstalker]

mine was a plate on the front of my 68 dart gt, had a 340 in it, ahhhhhh the memories

[father/son/ohio]

father/son= we hunt together, ohio=we are in ohio

[Olds Digger]

I have a couple of Olds, Im Old, I dig Oldsmobiles and now I am a MD digger as well

[Digger657]

Digger is from the fact that I like to dig up finds and the 657 is the hull number of the submarine I served on.

[JasonKyle]

Jason is my first name and Kyle is my middle name. I know it's a lame user name.
