Ten Commandments of Metal Detecting

I was doing a little research this morning and came across this. I am sure someone has seen this before. I did a search and didnt see it posted before, so here it is. It cracked me up when I finished it. Enjoy

Ten Commandments of Metal Detecting

These are the statutes, judgments and edicts which must be obeyed by all those who wield detectors of metal:

1. Thou shall not leave behind unfilled excavations.

2. Thou shall not trespass or defy in any way the lawful decrees of thy city, county, state, province or country.

3. Thou shall not harm vegetation, the creatures of the field, natural resources or the personal property of others.

4. Thou shall not covet the finds of thy companion. Nor shall ye covet his metal detector, digging tool or the hallowed place in which he diggeth.

5. Thou shall not ignore nor neglect thy family and friends whilst in the endless pursuit of thy hobby.

6. Thou shall assist the distraught owners of lost goods and the archeologists and the enforcers of law and all others who may need thy skill as a metal detectorist.

7. Thou shall return found treasures to the proper owners whenever their true identity can be rightfully determined.

8. Thou shall report to the proper authorities any find relating to criminal activity or of archeological significance.

9. Thou shall be considerate of others on the beach and in other public places whilst waving thy search coil and digging holes in the sand and the soil.

10. Thou shall speak out against the unjust laws and stand firm against the Philistines who would cast out all those who would use detectors of metal.

And if thou dost not abide by these Commandments, may you be plagued with mineral - bearing rocks, hard packed soil, pestilence, serpents, locusts, poisonous vegetation and great multitudes of pull-tabs, bottle caps and rusty nails. May ye spend the remaining years of thy wretched life digging signals of false origins, for thy iniquities shall surely bring the overzealous wrath of the ignorant, heathen bureaucrats down upon those of us who are innocent.

For we are the righteous and the just for ye who do not obey the Ten Commandments of Metal Detecting shall be doomed to bad luck.

Thee couldn'test saith it betterest. That reminds me of an Amish joke. Why did the Amish lady divorce her husband? Because he drove her buggy.
