The physical toll.
I run Tough Mudders and Spartans yearly and I always tell my wife that 8-10 hours of metal detecting wears me out just as much.

Thanks Mud,The Cracker Barrel 'BLT salad' is a good fast one for both accellerant and base combined...its got eggs and bacon in it!...A half sack of Granny Smith apples or green grapes on top of a BK Whopper w/extra onions are tough to beat for a good cheap 'Dutch Oven' treat though....Both have immense staying power, pretty much unfannible..must be the pectin? Anyway, it lingers and bow echos around the room at a Torcon Level 5 for days...
FWIW, my Beloved of 38yrs keeps a spritzer jar of Fabreeze on the nightstand, in her purse, and in the car as well...Ive got some good classics...properly 'Gerber Baby Food' jarred and catalogued from the 70's that will set sheets on fire...I only bring them out on special occasions though...they age well...like fine wine, not to be wasted on unappreciative plebes, a sensitive and appreciative palate for such things is a rare and welcomed guest though....(Here, take a wiff of this one! 1976 vintage!, Chicago Cubbies Stadium Hotdog base!.... Dr Pepper for the accellerant!)
Its a science to get it right, takes a lifetime of trial and error...I discovered you need a heavy accellerant and a solid base to build off of though...that and proper timing for full effect. A voluminous GI tract for storage/fermentation and a sphincter thats up to the task of course...to mete out airesolic colonic nectar in just the right dosages constantly and with volume is not easy!...Plus its dangerous to hold back!
Yeah, any old body can just 'blow and go' a standard Taco Bell submission on an elevator... getting it just right for everyones satisfaction takes tremendous effort and timing! Remember, 'BLT salad and green grapes' for an easy fast and fun longlasting fall back...like when the Inlaws are visiting, or you are being considered for Jury duty!...
Squelching off a perfectly timed blisterer in Church is the best! Balanced with both scent and sound! Ricocheting a tight bubble off the hardwood in a perfectly timed baritone, up to rattle the dust off the rafters, and then having it expand and cascade down its blessing on the entire congregation is priceless!!!
The kids in the Youth group will never forget that one!Nobody else thinks its funny though...just the youthgroup kids?....Looking innocent and serious takes some practice too...just comes with the territory and a bit of practice..then the damn Wife whips out the Fabreeze bottle out of reflex and blows my cover!

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. You do have a way with words!

I think Mud Puppy is really Dave Barry and Mud is just a pen name.

Hardest thing for me is dealing with my inexperience! I don't find even half of my targets. I dig, lose it, and move to the next one lol

Whats the big deal about "Cyber Bullies?" Its not like they can jump through the computer screen, slap your books out of your hand, steal your lunch money or give you a real life wedgie like what was commonplace and daily in the 70's?
I dont get it...Whats the big deal? Its not at all like a face to face in the alley with Scut Farkas...

1. Finding good productive sites.
2. SNOW !!!
3. Frozen ground.
4. Answering dumb questions, like what are you doing or did you find any gold rings. This is why I like detecting during the week when most people are working.

Even though it's raining here today and no hunting, I sure wish I could do a hunt with Mud Puppy. I would need some dry underwear because I think I'd wet my pants laughing.

Being relatively new to this hobby, I am limited in my experiences, but so far, my LEAST favorite thing is: ANTS.

They got me two weeks in row when mowing. Then I saw where they came from.. A gallon of gas, a match and two new eyebrows later, all was well..
