Something Stupid

[Dryland]

I went out this evening for a couple of hours , I found 48p and 4 pre decimal grots. My main reason for posting this is that while detecting in some woodland and getting a good signal I dug a hole and using the probe I found a 1/2d.  I then moved on and and at the next signal I again dug a hole, but on pulling out the probe from it's holster I had a stick in my hand. I must have picked it up instead of the probe . I had to re trace my steps and luckily found the  probe. This honestly happened. Surely I can't be the only one thats done something like this

Eeerrrr..............Yes,  only you Dylan, only you  

we've all done it rushing home from work gone out with my work boots on after a night shif machine playing up took me 10 minutes to realise

[Val Beechey]

Got to admit there was this once     

 I changed out of my new detecting boots before getting into the car, drove home and realised I'd left my boots behind.  Shame I didn't think to take the camera back with me. They looked so forlorn and lonely sitting on the track all alone   

So no Dylan, you're not on your own.

Don't worry Dylan, here's mine..I was out with the CTX put it down to recover a signal picked it up went to walk of and it didn't feel rite looked at it and saw the arm rest was missing so I spent 10 minutes back tracking to see where it had fell off only to realise the bloody thing was still attached to my arm via Velcro strap on my gortext coat....needles to say I made sure it was properly tightened

a few years ago i drove 10 miles to a new cut corn field and was looking forward to a good days detecting

i went to put my boots on and found i could not get my feet into them ?

in my haste to get out i had picked up my wifes size 5 boots instead of my own

i then had to detect for the rest of the day with a pair of crocs on ,the sharp straw stubble kept sticking through the holes in the crocs

by the end of the day i had loads of cuts on my feet and no hammereds

The biggest stupid thing I ever dig was in 1966. (yes I can remember that far back)  I went shopping, got back home and started putting the shopping away. Then it hit me      OMG I'd left the baby in his pram outside the shops.
Something I'll never forget.
The stupid part was me remembering him    I might have been driving a Rolls Royce now if I'd left him there

the other day I decided to nip out detecting in between  rain showers for an hour the day after my wife decided to go for a walk with her mate so she went to the shed for her wellies after 10 mins emptied the shed and said they  were not there so could she use mine out of the car so she went and got them and came in laughing I had used her wellies sad thing is they were tight on me but didn't tell her that

About 16 years ago, I went on a boozy 4 day ferry trip to Spain, and forgot my passport, I asked if I could go into Bilbao without a passport, and then was arrested and held in the ships cell, the Spanish police captain on board, gave me a note allowing me to go into Bilbao, but told me his job was on the line if I failed to return, on returning to the ship, at the top of the gang plank was the Police captain, who greeted me with hugs and kisses like a long lost family friend...
