Mud, it's a completely different world over here. A 'snowflake' will get crushed over here. No mercy. Most of these guys have no jobs and no plan for a future. Just trying to find gold to put food on the table before the other guy does.
I would prefer them trying to push me around on the beach rather than robbing old ladies on the street.... for this reason I can begrudge them a little respect
Thats what I'm understanding from following your posts for years.....Over here, detecting is a retired rich old mans diversion or hobby...Gotta Class A parked at the beach, or a condo, and get themselves a rig to have an excuse to go out and wander around...Not so over there or in most of the World...Not when GOLD is involved and a guy has a family to feed with no prospects other than ransacking.....
Most Americans dont know a diddly dink about the value or history of gold, dont have to worry about making pay on the day to day...Never have had to ransack aggressively to find their daily needs....So yeah...Your posts regarding hunting in your AO put a hell of a lot into perspective...
We here do this for Fun, getting up and wandering down a nice beach, not a care in the World...But theres some people out there that do this Sport to Eat, and I doubt they enjoy it!....If you had to find enough gold to sustain a family on the daily, Who the hell would like this Sport?....
After about a week of Beach drysanding, if I had to support myself and my Family with my finds? Yeah..I'd be robbing old Ladies too...
