On the beach?
In the last year... What are the stupid things people have said to you, and your clever responses!

I can do that in the Winter. In the summer, I run a Z-Lynk box to my AT Max, and just plug in my apple headphones. It's a little harder to do (people either buy it fully, or just look at you like you're an idiot, if you point to them... either way, I'm fully committed, and just pretend I can't hear. LOL)

I always have people say “If you found a ring today, it was mine!”
I simply say “THANKS!”
Or “I found it yesterday. Guy at the pawn store only gave me $6 for it. You need to buy better jewelry!”

I had a Lady approach me and she appeared to be very concerned. She asked me if I was able to make a living with that thing. I stifled a laugh and explained that it was just a hobby that I enjoyed. Her concern kept me from making a smart Azz answer.
At least they were concerned and didn't just kick ya. Lol.
Poor lady.

That was very nice that she was so concerned and also very good that you appreciated her concern enough to give her a simple plain answer.
Now IF it was instead some smart aleck asking in a demeaning way you could have replied (kidding in fun) something like "you didn't see my Corvette parked back there ?"

It's only June so there's plenty of time left this year for some "dope" to ask me a silly question or make a rude comment. Haven't had one in a long time so I'll repeat my all time favorite...……...While out detecting one evening a guy comes by walking his dog and makes the remark : What are you looking for, money for your next meal? This got me really P.O'd so my response was: No, I'm looking for the key to your wife's bedroom, she gave it to me the other night and I lost it. He took off without another word.

1) I hate when kids come up and ask if they can have the coins I find.
2) Several times I've been asked how many arrowheads I've found.
3) One time on a Panama City, FL playground I told a woman she shouldn't let her kids run around barefoot in the sandy playground and I showed her the dozen nails and screws I had collected that morning. She replied, "Don't tell me what to do with my kids...why don't you keep using your magnet to lift the rest of the nails out."

That's too bad she treated you that way. I do that where I'm at.. lots of rusty nails in the totlot sand but I don't say much to anybody around here cuz this is the West Coast and they just don't care or they are just nasty.
