Metal detecting in a foreign country?

[DetectorGuy]

We can turn this into DIR... thats ok. I think its a solid plan. I work construction and we have a lot of catch phrases in the industry... some that stick out and can be applied to most anything you do, like diving are:
1. Use the right tool for the job.
2. Plan you work and work your plan.
3. Be pro-active and not re-active.
4. If you need you need help... ask.
5. The stupidest question is the one that doesn't get asked.
6. Try to engineer out the risk.
7. Most accidents happen for a reason
8. If you cant take the heat get out of the kitchen.
9. Be honest with your self. can you handle it?
10. If you are unsure get a third party peer review.

I am one that likes to have all the tools and just pull out the ones that I need for the job. I never was one to rent a tool and if I needed it I would just try to buy it. Money wasn't always easy to come by so somethings had to wait. I am a believer in not "getting in over your head" (unintentional pun) but I am also a believer in the fact that none of us is getting any younger and if you really want to do something in life then you better get on it before you are to  old and frail to do it. Life is short with a lot of cool things to see and do and someday that trick knee or aching back will tell you that enough is enough and it will show you where the rocking chair is.


Boy I must have had some bad coffee cuz I just went off on a tangent. Sorry... John
