In my case, a few times recently when detecting i have been accosted by various people asking what i am doing on this field or that field in some cases shouted at from a great distance.

To start with i had always been polite and walked over and told them nicely i have permision of the relevant farmer bla bla, now  its happening so much that my first question now is  " who are you ? " and if they don't come up with i'm the farmers son, relative etc  or something similar i (still politely) tell them to b.......off and what's it to do with them. i always have a chat with the farmer after to let him know  a nosey neighbour was well being nosey and they are always fine .

                                Not had that problem yet. My pet hate ( if you will pardon the pun ) is dogs that are not kept under controll. They mostly
want to help me dig; or they try to wee on my bag!  Shocked

It is annoying but you never know who you're talking to, my nightmare situation is to find out the person I've just told to bugger off has the 500 acre farm next door with the old medieval village on it that no one knows about  Shocked so I grit my teeth and try to be polite. I get annoyed when you get a cracking field and manage a couple of hours on it, only to find the next time you go there the farmers filled it with bulls that stay there for the next 6 months!!! His right of course but annoying all the same.

Traditional small dairy Farms.  And there's a lot of them round here.  I have had permission on a few and they are all the same.  You just never know till you get there which field you can get in and being small very often you have to go through a field or two to get to the one you want and guess what...........the Farmer has moved the heard into the first one since the last time you went.

My biggest gripe is electric fences. I have an x terra 705 and no matter how I try and tune it out, I get regular pulsing beeps every second or so.
It can pick them up from fifty yards away and drives you nuts.  Angry

All machines suffer from them John and as you say they can't be tuned out as they are essentially working in the same way as a coil Wink

Being told to Bugger off, by some bloke in a field, after my dog has slipped her lead, having just got a electric shock off the fence, leading to my detecting site.
