I can't even look at a lobster anymore without getting sick to my stomach... when I was lobstering I couldn't sell the culls so they went home with me... I was getting so many I had to buy a chest freezer for the meat, we would eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner.. I never will eat one again.. the restaurants and fish markets I sold to would only buy the 2 claw lobsters... I will eat King Crab but I don't use butter on crabs its rich enough without butter... I want to taste what I am eating.. I do same thing with fish..

Reminds me of when I was in HS. My sisters 1st job was at KFC. Every night they would throw out EVERYTHING in the dumpster. I'm talking all the desserts , coleslaw , gravy & potatoes , gizzards , butter rolls , every flavor of chicken , etc. So she would bring it home. Our fridge and freezer was stuffed for a year until she quit. It was gross. I seldom ever eat KFC now. My toilet says "Don't you dare."

All this lobster/crab talk reminded me of one of the best meals I ever had. We became close to WWII Navy vet who had privileges at the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey. Once a month they would have fresh Alaskan King Crab flown in for a Crab Feed and we got invited. Best damn crab I ever had and I was stationed in the Aleutians! Also I grew up here in Santa Cruz on fresh local crab.

All this talk made me go to the local casino. They have the best seafood restaurant in the area. Wife and I gorged on Alaskan King crab legs...with drawn butter to dip with.

Looks like those crabs are all swinging the new miniature blue Vortex Storm Garrett. You know calabash is gonna have a field day with this. Couldn't even detect a crab cage.

Wow. Sure glad my name is not Calabash. Is this the guy that lives in Myrtle Beach? I will have to pay more attention to the experts. I only have 51 years experience. I have a 3 Score coming today and have been watching a detectorist on utube go over in detail each setting on the Triple. Wish I could remember his name but anyway I was impressed with the detail and clarity of his presentation. No yelling, pointing, jumping around, wearing odd clothes. He just made it very clear. He, to me, is very good. He would make an excellent teacher. I don't remember him doing this but it drives me nuts for someone to show me how to unbox a detector.

You obviously haven't seen the real CD. There is a good reason he has the rep here that he has, and it isn't because he would be a good teacher LOL.

I used to watch his videos and thought the same as you until I one time called him on something I knew he had wrong. I even produced the proof. To save face, he changed the words I had posted and then straight out lied about what he had said When I produced the post he deleted my stuff and put me on the list to not be able to comment again.
 
I just saw his latest video bashing the as yet unreleased Vortex.
The comment section said all comments must be respectful. I asked if yelling "FIRE THEM!!" referring to Garrett engineers was respectful. His quick reply was that one more comment like that would force him to push the button and ban me.
I encouraged him to push the button, as it would be my first ever ban and he has been banned multiple times.

He has many videos bashing the Vortex. Several over an hour long!
What is his reason for spending time like this? How does it profit him?

He attracts people to watch his videos using controversial subject titles. His whole motive is to have as many people watch his videos as he can con. He gets free detectors by having so many people fall for his con job. Plus he claims he gets no money for clicks. I'm not believing that at all.

I made comments proving him wrong and I did get banned :hornetsnest: . sube
 
Calabash is taking down several of his Vortex comparison videos and is taking a timeout until the Vortex gets released. He is listening to his wife and family and I respect that especially if he is going to claim that he is a fair, unbiased tester of the Vortex when he starts testing a production model. That fair, unbiased approach maybe an impossible long shot after everything negative that he has already thought and said about it.

Are you serious?

Calabash has made many hunt videos over the years that were lighthearted and had zero comments about detector wars.

“One bad apple can spoil the bunch." That popular phrase is used to refer to a situation in which one person's negative demeanor can affect a whole group of people, influencing them to have a similar negative attitude. In this case "Toward" all of his video's and him.

I will from time to time watch his dive video's, which are interesting.

Now here is a hunter / tester that does all CB does but with a Positive view.

I have been Metal Detecting/Treasure hunting since 1973. Started out with BFO detectors where you dug everything with zero analytics. Now, almost 50 years later the detectors are computerized and even waterproof! Most of my hunting has been in the North East but the hobby has taken me down...

I really like all of Carter's content.

OBN, I don't dive but I do like watching CDs dive videos sometimes too.

The only reason I watch any of CDs hunt videos is for his information about low country detecting below the Fall Line where that soil is way less mineralized and where lots of historic targets remain to be detected. His Deus, Deus 2, Equinox and Manticore settings and info for those areas of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina are solid. Even though he is a saltwater beach newbie, his newest SMF VLF settings and results for the Myrtle Beach area are also what I see when I go there.

The rest of his videos that are detector war stuff are watch at your own peril stuff most of the time.

The guy outright admitted on video that he paid $1,000 to buy 8000 fake Youtube subscribers. It's very clear what his motivations are, and he knows manufactured controversy and drama gets him more subs (which is why he is constantly engaged in some drama with some detector manufacturer). He has several times in his videos lamented that other channels have more subs than him. His motivations are clear.

I dont know how he can claim to be unbiased when he is willing to do such 'hoodoo voodoo'. Considering people view subscriber count as a means of 'legitimacy', everybody who visits his channel is immediately presented with a deception. Any company who sends him a free product for his channel is doing so under a false pretense that he has a larger audience than he does. Doesn't exactly present as unbiased, if you ask me.
