This was more embarrassing than funny, even though some found it hilarious. I had gone out to Suffolk metal detecting at a small park and found some nice coins. When I went to leave I couldn't find my keys. I looked everywhere. Then I looked in my locked van and guess what I saw hanging from the ignition. That is also when I found out my van was almost burglar proof. I had to call a locksmith to get in and go home.
I literally went to scratch my head and saw the silver ring on the end of my finger!
I had permission from the owner to detect some apartments. I was going along digging some good things when a nosy woman came out and asked me in an offensive voice "what are you doing" ? I replied "driving up snakes" and she ran inside screaming No more problems, steve in so az
Not sure if this is funniest thing or the most stupid! After stopping to talk to a fellow detectorist, I was off and swinging again. After about a half hour of no signals at all, I glance at my display and realize I had forgotten to turn my detector back on!!!
