[TheFrood]

Douglas Adams fan. Taken from the footnotes in HHGTTG...

“Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is."
(Sass: know, be aware of, meet, have sex with; hoopy: really together guy; frood: really amazingly together guy.)”

Oddly enough I do carry a towel (or 2) with me when detecting... Usually just a small shop towel though.
Mainly posting this here because everyone's life would benefit from reading the HHGTTG trilogy (all 6
books of it).

 

[HeavyMetalDetectinPassion]

Most probably, we use this nickname..because it's true

Ok. love Heavy metal music.. butafter you dig out some pretty deep and heavy stuff from the ground... it seems logic too

 

[hunter1]

I hunted pretty much all my life, Started when I was 12 for small game, then 14 for big game. I hunted all over America. I stopped hunting about 6 years ago. So people started calling me hunter.

S

Mine was made up by me in 1999 and since then used several times over, stolen by a games card manufacturer and miss spelt to avoid me suing them and an artist who thinks he can still use it and forget he stole it.

It was basically to say a thing that changes its shape in a dark and menecing manner....something to be weary of but also something to be admired.

Also sounds good for a dark cartoon or comic hero

Sounds like my first ex.lol

Thought this would be interesting for everyone on the forum. Explain what your username or avatar means. My username, Trickworm, is my favorite plastic worm.

Man I just love hot work it's the reason I was able to obtain the highest codes for a welder doing API american petroleum institute B31.1/B31.3/ and API 1104 code the first are absolute codes 100%perfect X-RAYS if I didn't love doin it idd never hung in there n put the work in to be called the best of the best.i like to make things instead of buying it if at all possible and if it don't exist create it myself.i like casting my own bullets love watching that dirty old lead become shinyer than spit shined silver as I slowly flux all the trash out n skim it off I like pouring big smelting pots of iron into a one of a kind mold that I made and knowing imm the only one on the planet with what comes out I have obtained my 4 M degree (master manipulator of molten metal ) the only thing I like more than a hot steaming bowl of gumbo is a hot fiery furnace heating up a big ol smelting pot when everywhere I look fire just fills the air n flying everywhere I know imm where I belong.

 

[Flipperfla]

Most Folks think Flipper, the Dolphin in the TV show………The true story…….
My Dad was a Hard Hat Diver in the Navy in WWII. When I was a little kid he gave me his dive knife and I was hooked.. had all the gear, mask, snorkel, flippers later in life evolved into Scuba.
The great part is my last name is Finn! Guys at the dive shop loved it, picked up the nickname Flipper. To this day I think some people don’t even know my real name, lol.

[OldManDetectingMetal]

I'm hoping mine is self-evident.

 

[Chasin' OneWays]

Elbie. My initials (LB) pronounced.

My initials pronounced are Emptee (MT), that's also how I feel inside

My username speaks truth. Listening for those faint non ferrous one way signals right on the edge of detection. It's fun to "fix" the signal and see a honker pop out.

 

[Dangerranger60]

When personal computers became a thing, I was working away from home, I came home for Christmas with a 286 for the family.
While I was away my wife and kids set me up an account and username. since I was driving a Ford Ranger, I got Dangerranger and it has been the same since. DR

I never dig one way signals. Have you had decent luck doing that?? I’m always looking for ways to improve!
