Explain your Username

[Silversmith45]

I've been doing silversmithing since the mid seventies, about as long as I've been detecting. I tried to get Silversmith but it was taken so I added 45, the year of my birth and my favorite handgun. I served with the 101st Airborne Screaming Eagles in Vietnam.

[sllingshot47]

I had a golf teacher who was years ahead of his time. I had trouble grasping some of his concepts so the told me to make myself into a slingshot.. The arms were the cords and the clubhead was the pouch. I immediately grasped what he was saying.

[metaladdict]

Im addicted to metal detecting,never cared about the avatar..

[rob00000]

Wow! Mines a tough one to explain. Let's see, where do I begin? Ok, rob00000. rob is short for robert. robert is my first name, at least that's the name that's listed on my birth certificate. Course, who knows if my certificate is legit, just look at the controversy over Obama's certificate? I mean, ya' know, there may be something my parents didn't tell me about? As far as the five zero's go, well, I figured rob might be taken as rob or robert is a common name so I usually add something onto my name to increase the chance of choosing a username that isn't taken. So that's it. That's my exciting username story. I trust you all enjoyed reading all about it & can now rest comfortably at night, no longer tossing & turning in bed wondering where I got the idea for my username from. Glad I could help contribute to you all getting a good nights sleep. Now, if you'll all excuse me, it's late and I must be getting to bed myself. Good night!!

[achaios]

Achaios was a Seleukid empire usurper whose coins I specialize in. When captured, flayed alive and crucified in the skin of a donkey. I don't intend to end that way myself, I just think the coins are interesting.

Nickname is Scuba Steve at work after big daddy. Xdm is my first handgun.

[SandInToes]

I grew up on a beach, and do a lot of detecting on beaches. And so, for a lot of my life, I've had sand in my toes.

My avatar is a photo of the weirdest road sign I've ever seen. I see it every day when I go to work.

[rfjuice]

rfjuice=

When I was in high school, I ran long distance and took liquid creatine designed for endurance. So my teammates started calling me "juice".

The rf part is from "red faction". It's an online first person shooter game, that I got introduced to when I started working after I graduated.

Thus I became rfjuice and have been for almost 10 years.

[Spellingcounts]

My username is the answer to the question I am asked before every exam my students take: does spelling count? Yes, I tell them. It counts on the exam, and it counts in life. My avatar is a picture of one of my son's green army guys. I was delighted to find a detectorist in the squad.
