I don't post much herein, although rarely does a day go by that I don't play voyeur to the forum. But a liability to getting paid to write is that it tempts a mercenary mindset; one might get parsimonious with their offerings. But several recent threads have me examining another covetous aspect of my nature: What I like to see posted. Don't get me wrong - I like looking at all the pictures of finds even if I don't routinely acknowledge as much. But there are two types of posts that I most enjoy. The first is that from which I can vicariously profit. The posts that share some previously unconsidered point (e.g., early in my metal detecting I remember someone recommending that someone really take a lay of the land and envision what it might have at one time looked like...to look for those elevated areas of ground where trees might have once stood and that people might have congregated about). In turn, I offer one piece of advice. Always spend a little bit of extra time on gopher holes. More than once I've found coins that have been pushed upwards by those burrowing rodents. The second type of post that I most appreciate is that which gives me some vicarious sense of the adventure experienced. What kind of MD they were using. The kind of conditions they were saddled with during their search. What their VDI read, and how strong the audio was on their machine. What made them dig on a reading they might otherwise have bypassed. Some might ask why I am making such an implicit request ("Who asked you?"). Well, those who express disappointment over the lack of comments they receive tender their own implicit requests for feedback. This is my offering.
