Well,,,
Maybe I should 't be talking here,,,as I have not been detecting 40 years.
But in my mind,,,detecting is juat detecting.
Some folks can be selfish,,some folks generous.
I would hope the hobby would be about making friends,,detecting together,,,exploring,,talking,,,laughing,,and learning.
I'll take anyone who wants to come to my area,,,,I will put them on a site,,,even sites with good detecting history.
I may well be doing this this Friday,,,for a couple gents.
And you know what,,,,I hope they find the find of their lifetime.
I sure won't lose an ounce of sleep over it.
Maybe it will be me,,that does.
Sneaks,,,now these are the folks I don't like.
Just be open and honest with me,,,,and I can live with that.
I agree with what you are saying, but there's all kinds of different scenarios/things to consider.
I have been on hunts with others at their sites as well as being on hunts with others at my sites. Here's a couple of incidents that I've encountered on my sites (places that I've gained permission to hunt):
I brought a guy to one of my sites and he would dig a plug and instead of putting the tab/can slaw in his pouch he would drop it in the hole and cover it up, and he wasn't covering the plug very well.
Another time with a different guy I took to one of my locations: a couple of days after we hunted my site together I drove to the site to hunt solo and he was hunting there with one of his friends.
Don't take me wrong, I don't mind hunting with others at all, but when there's a possibility of someone screwing it up for me, that's not good.
I agree with you. Poor behavior I will not tolerate,,,,if I invited someone and took to a site,,and they are doing stupid Things,,,game over.
Now if I took a new detectorists,,,I would be expecting to monitor them,,and try and teach and tell them the no nos as far as proper conduct/behavior.

Nobody wants to hunt with me because I can literally spend hours swinging and not find a thing. One guy that hunt with me sometimes usually takes his ride because if he isn't finding anything worthwhile he won't hang around.
