lostmypassworddude Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 As a former electrician I never wore jewelery or my ring do to safety concerns around electricityand being hung up by a finger on a ladder . Got used to it so for me it's no problem. But yes we all have days like that. 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
araratgold Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I remember many years ago ( 2001 ) when I was a relative new chum, I walked around with my GP Extreme / mono coil in cancel mode for about an hour. Somehow the switch had been knocked in transit. I wondered why my unit was running so quiet until I discovered why ! Gave myself an uppercut and didn't do that again !

Lanny Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 DSmith, If it wasn't for stupid/dumb things I've done while out prospecting, I'd have far less stories to share with others. You're now a member of a very large club of fellow gold hunters that have made similar mistakes. Life without mistakes would be very boring (that's what I convince myself of when I mess up). 😆 All the best, Lanny 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
