I have been following the many enjoyable posts of Mudd Puppy, and Tom_In_CA and some others for the past year and have come to one conclusion.
We should have our own national secret metal detecting society.
There is only one thing to do and it is to create one.
So far the only name I can come up with is SAD or Secret Association of Detectorists. This is a nice acronym that describes many a hunt where a member was skunked. Or when a long planned hunt at a good permission gets rained out. Or where a good permission gets withdrawn. Or when your new detector has to go back to the factory. Or when your favorite old park now is sporting a brand new “No Digging Allowed” sign.
I nominate Mudd Puppy for President and Tom_in_CA for Vice President or treasurer and he can be in charge of all the member ship fees. No wait, that may be a bad idea. Let Tom be our Vice President and secretary and rules chair person.
For regalia I suggest a black dirt stained tee shirt with a chain of polished pull tabs around our neck. The tee shirt must be accompanied by jeans or tan pants with dirty knees.
Our secret greeting will be “Hello, clad to meet you.” Your response will be “can slaw sucks”, and thus members are easily identified.
We can have SAD chapters and all states and cities. We can have SAD Georgia, Sad Michigan, Sad CA presidents and vice presidents.
Anyone can join who is a member of a metal detecting forum. If you have been suspended or kicked off a forum, you can apply for honorary membership until our rules committee has ruled on you bad behavior elsewhere.
Ok, any other idea for our new secret society will be welcome. I don’t know a lot about secret societies, but I did wake up one morning after a drunken college freshman party to find out I had joined a fraternity. I Felta Thigh. The joining requirement were mainly getting lucky the previous night
.
As a founding member I stake my claim to the national historian of SAD and as of this moment I will be recording the proceedings of all SAD communications on this and other forums.
