Only when I see people I went to school with. Happened once :-)

Also not a fan of the chavs who want to know how many gold rings I've found today, because they know I've found loads, because the videos on youtube say so :-)

Hopefully you'll feel less of a plank when you're unearthing all the goodies folks!!

[kopparberg]

just don't worry what they think at the end of the day hopefully you are the one with the full finds bag

[sandman]

Have you seen the bermuda shorts and the sun cream .....and people who are obese ...that think they are slim ...dont worry about it ......at least we dont have to keep our tummy in ....phewwww lololol

[Davedarcy]

I actually can empathise with how you feel there,i remember the first few times i was down on a busy beach i just thought wow everyone must think i'm such a sad .... you know what.But then i'd stick my head down and get so into what my detector was doing that i stopped caring. At the end of the day i think most people are more interested than anything else and i think all the blokes watching are just envious cause they'd really like to have a go! All my mates laughed and took the micky when i first bought my detector then after a few weeks i found a nice gold coin which i sold to a collector for £200 then a few weeks after that i found two 18k gold rings which i sold for £250 and upgraded my kit.Now my mates are asking if they can come out detecting with me and i laugh at them!

Well I not been to the beach yet, but this is exactly what I fear and putting me of going lol. I am thinking i will perhaps go very early in the morning when they will be nobody around for a bit or later on in the evening, at least till i get some experience and hopefully find a few things.

One of the reasons i like to go to the beach at night some times i will spend more time talking to people than beeping, when there in the day time

Those are the best times to go
nobody to stop you with chat when all you want is to get on and find the "goodies"
