[QUOTE="SCROUNGER, post: 177561, member: 4820"] I'm the same. If somebody's already there i go somewhere else. Sometimes only a few hundred metres away but i would always check that they are fine with that first if it was that close. I was detecting on Sunday last, head down, bum up with headphones on, i'd parked, and there were no other cars around and about an hour in i looked up and saw another bloke detecting. I called out, got his attention and then walked over to say hello, he was about 50 metres away. I said hello and that i hadn't seen his car, he was parked on another track and it just happened we were detecting the same slope. We had a chat, and i said i was going back to it and asked if he was cool with that and he was, so all was good. I think the main thing Filthy is to not crash in on an area people are obviously working without at least saying hello and asking first. But in the end it's just as easy to drive a k or so away and take the pressure off yourself and the other person detecting. [/QUOTE]
