Why Do YOU Like TreasureNet?

I've been a part of TreasureNet (off and on) since the beginning.

I've visited the other forums and belong to more than I even recall just now.

But I find that I spend 99% of my treasure forum time right back here at TreasureNet. For me, the others just don't get it. Some have some pretty nice folks but often it's only a few good ol boys. Every time I visit those forums I almost feel like I'm there uninvited and unwanted....know what I mean? Like I just walked into some private little club where I don't belong. Now, I know this isn't really true but it sure feels that way some times.

Here at TN we're sort of like family. You know, we have this love/hate relationship which is a beautiful thing!

Nope, for me there's no Treasure Forum like TreasureNet! 

NOW...Why are you here?

Why do you like TN?

Do tell all...

Fast, Friendly Service 

No, really some of the best people in the world are here...couldn't ask for anything better.

Right now, I'm baffled for words...others will pop up with some good answers.

Michigan Badger,

the fact that your here

Iam here for the beer  aa

I'm here because of the knowledge and expertise of all the people here... most I can confidently call my friends, even if we may have differences. The people on here are some of the most amazing and genuine people I've ever met. Though I agree with the "good ol' boys" comment, I have several very awesome lady friends on here as well.
I have to admit, I sometimes laugh over most of my friends on here being easily twice my age. I doubt it's very typical for an almost 25 year old guy to be associating with adults that aren't closer in age to him... but I wouldn't change a thing! I love you guys (and gals)!!! 

Bran <><

I am here because it is comfortable here.  Like a broke in pair of shoes or a favorite chair.  I post on other forums every now and then but most of the time I only come to this one.  I like the people on here, the willingness to share tips and secrets, the friendliness of the people that post here (most of the time) and the range of topics.

I did become a charter member because someone promised me peanuts but I never got them.

Seriously, this place is awesome.

smart folks --interesting finds--lots of knowledge on tap for whats its? whats not to like (cept a few folks fussing at each other at times)  --- Ivan

Well for one thing its open 24hrs a day and all Holidays....I do like that.

Oh yeah, I forgot another good reason I love this forum.  Gypsyheart.

Where else can you get info or ask questions and get real answers? aa

Oh yeah, I forgot another good reason I love this forum.  Gypsyheart.

Yeehaw  

And another reason I like it is because this was the first metal detecting  forum that I saw  where the guys treated the ladies like equals. I love this place....its like everyone is in a big neighborhood.  

Lots of pretty ladies..smart people for the most part and great discussions...

I use to think that God brought me to T-net, because I love treasure hunting, but now I'm starting to wonder if I didn't need some being nice training.

Heh... well you seem to have it down now! ;)
And I really do think He had a bunch of us come on here for a reason...

Bran <><

I came in to do research and never left...

I've laughed.  
I've loved.    
I've cried.      

T-Net celebrates "Talk like a Pirate day". Arrrr.... !

T-Netters post pictures... lots of 'em. (Even tho I only read the articles)

T-Net has a great administrator, and great moderators... those four guys keep this place squared away.

T-Net has forums out the ass that appeal to everyone... on some level...

What's left to say that hasn't already been said?

I love reading everyone's post and seeing the amazing things ya'll dig up! I may not respond to all...but I read them.

I like to help out where I can in researching some of your finds...I love researching!

Even learned alot from ya'll ... (and I really thought I already knew it all ) LOL

Ya'll are just so "Groovy!!!!"

Happy Hunting Everyone!
Annmarie

Are you kidding me......Tnet is like the yellow pages for detecting enthusiasts.

let your finger do the talking lol

I hear Jeff of PA gives lap dances at 5000 posts.


 That reminds me, I gotta start a new profile soon..... ;)

30% are cool as hell
65% are dull
3% undecided
2% indifferent

oh and strike it rich with his in depth deep cerebral questioning pffft african american please

I hear Jeff of PA gives lap dances at 5000 posts.


 That reminds me, I gotta start a new profile soon..... ;)

  woo hoo Jeffy....You 're almost there.....I will be counting down your posts

Is this a new policy? Because I didnt get mine

By the way, a "lap dance" isn't what I'm thinking, is it?

When i first came here, almost two years ago, i had pretty much lost my passion for metal detecting. I was going out maybe 4 times a month and not finding nothing. I MD'ed outside an old house and found what i believed was my coolest find yet, a lead toy indian. As i was researching, i cam across this website and thought someone might be able to help or comment. I got a lot of replies and stuck around. i love then encouragement, the help in identifying finds (aka pbk), and the great advice. Before i joined this site, i have one silver nickel and some worthless junk. The year after, i got my first and second gold ring, first and second silver dime, first seated and large cent, and countless relics and clad. That year was a real turn around.

TreasureNet is like going to a convention of detectorist and not having anything you need to do but, talk, share, and show your adventures and finds from metal detecting. They are like a family. Including geeks, freaks and closet cases. Yeah! Just like a family!

Ed D.

I'm new here on TN, but i feel welcome everytime i sign on , the people are all great and helpful, and there is a lot of very knowledgeable people here to help anyone who asks just plain and simple A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO ALL ENJOY THE SAME HOBBY!!! and a great way to spent "down" time

It's like reading "the greatest adventure novel ever". . . it's always full of mysterious plots , colorful heroes , beautiful heroines   and, the endings have pictures!

Simply the best forum, around this world !!!!

Best place to share everything !!!!

Digman.

Where else can you see a rusted blob that needs to be identified and find that its exactly that...?

Where else can you see a misshapened tree is beleived to be a potential treasure symbol and find that its really misshapened due to an infestation of nemotodes...?

Where else can you go to see someone getting their thrills from finding a 52D penny after digging thru 6 inches of snow, 4 inches of ice and 10 inches of permafrost...?

Where else can you go to at 1 AM in the morning when all of the bars are closed?

OK, here's where as shown on the following list...

Darn, ran out of room

I just love this place and the people here

I also think the great variety of topics is what makes this a great site....but I think the actual reason I like it better than the MD'ing sites is due to its layout and format...the other detecting sites I've visited seem...how do I say it?...sterile...the graphics here are more inviting and seem more "homey"...as someone said..like sitting on a worn sofa..instead of a steel bench....Kudos to the web page designer..

People here are friendly and helpful, Always willing to give advice on their experiences.
 And i come here for HOPE, Whenever i go out detectin and dont find nothing and start to doubt that i ever will, I come here and see that there are others who have been thru dry spells and then post  a find of something cool.

All the cool kids hang out here!

First of all, Great mix of people!
To me it's just a fun place to pop in & see whats going on. To see what people are finding or just what people are talking about. You also feel like you know some of the members here that you have never even met. 

The people are great, but not just the people.  The fact that these folks have helped me become go from a Metal Detectorist to a Treasure Hunter. 

You folks have taught me alot!!!!

Hookers and booze!

I like it here because I can tell my stories and someone actually reads them.  Everyone here at home has already heard them ......several times!  And I want everyone to be assured that they are all 100% true and factual except for the parts I make up. M ;) nty

Hookers??....don't hookers get paid??  Dey ain't no hookers here!

It comes in all sizes and colors. One size fits all. Batteries not included.
I do like the stories, pics, adventures and encouragement.
Not big on the long winded bickering though....

i come here cause kirk is here......

I come here to look at all the photos of the bikini babes on the beaches and an occasional magazine cover.....

30% are cool as hell
65% are dull
3% undecided
2% indifferent

How do we know where we fit in?  I was thinking maybe I was in the 3% but not sure.  Then thought maybe I was in the 65%, but realized that couldn't be me.  Was pretty sure I had to be in the 30%, but to be honest I really could care less. ;)

I think we need a post of who falls into which category...KirkPA can you help us out?

 

I'm sure I'm in category A_ _  _ _ _ _. You can fill in the blanks.

Nick

You got it Nick, that's exactly what it is.

I love the relaxed atmosphere....the goofy posts....and the goofy clowns that post.  Some nights, I laugh so hard that I'm crying.... 

And some nights I cry...because of the posts sharing heartaches and tragedies.  I love it when we all pull together to help someone out.   

I love the yakroom.......talking to people from all over the world has been an eye opening experience for me.  I love the different personalities who all come together in that room.   

It's one-stop shopping for all my needs!  ;)

Ihave been reading treasurenet now for allmost two years.The people on here are a lot more friendler and will help any way they can.They will never give you stupid answers.That is the reason that I joined up.I really enjoy the reading.I have learned a lot from you folks and I appreciate all of you.       



                                                              Jerry

It's simply the best detecting forum I have ever seen to date. I do sometimes feel it's a little too much brand oriented Whites/Minelab , but aside from that its truly awesome , hence my Charter Membership 

Doozis

i come here cause kirk is here......

I come here to look at all the photos of the bikini babes on the beaches and an occasional magazine cover.....

 I sense some ambiguity here..... are you two sure you don't mean you're here because Kirk is here in a bikini? Ohhhhhh, I forgot, he's topless!

 Here's one for the Kirkster- 


 

               Aside from all (The obvious reasons), I found there
         were more 'people like myself' in the world, Adventurer,
         Treasure Hunter, nature lover, explorer, seeker of wisdom,
         Lover of Life.

             Thanks for including me.

                                       Fossis..............

It makes me feel good to know what I have to say is important, never feel stupid asking a question, people are great at responding, love the sharing that takes place, helpful hints, and a wealth of knowledge.  Most important I do feel like you are FAMILY.  The support, encouragement, and real desire to see each of us succeed as well as pulling us up when we are down. 

I stumbled onto this site in June 07 when I was researching the purchase of my MD and getting into the hobby.  Only regret, I didn't start this sooner.  You are all GREAT.
Roy

I lik TrezureNet cuz of th purty gurls an hopin that sumday I kin getta meatum.

Oh yeah...that and Doy. Where else can you get that type of high caliber entertainment?

Oh yea...and EDDEKALB. He's cool.

Oh yeah...yeah....and my Buddy Bob is here.

And I forgot....

Oh...no...I already mentioned Doy.

wait.....Nick and his wife's food (even though I have yet to be invited to actually EAT any....looking at it is pissing me off)


Oh.....and Grubby's gold supply.


And the old coinage....and the rings...my GOD the RINGS!!!!!

and while we're at it...the lack of verified meteorites has me scratching my head...hmmmm

And the sheer vast unadulterated volume of clad found convinces me we will never run out! (although in 50 years finding an intact zlincoln may be damn near impossible)

and did I mention the variety of forum topics?

And the general attention paid to detail?

It would have been a LOT easier to post the things I DON'T like about TNet.

Well we already have a post called "What to Watch Out For on Treasurenet".  This is close, to what you're suggesting Dan, but no cigar.  LOL.


All the Best,

Buckleboy

I enjoy the freedom of shared knowledge available on the site.

I dislike the censorship of one of the moderators.

I've enjoyed many shared conversations, both agreeable and disagreeable.

A little drama is good for the soul!

I like the idea that everyone is treated as an equal.
as a friend .... whether they have one post with a pulltab and a couple nails or a hand full of Spanish D-bars.

Where else can a not so often MD using old fart like me enjoy the company of kids like Kirk and Zboy, and pull Buckleboy's chain at the same time.
And enjoy the company of old friends like Grubstake and MesaBuddy and others.

And of course best of all....
Get before hand skinny on Gypseyheart's yard sales !!!

Life doesn't get too much better than that!

The Jokes aren't too bad either.

All nice and comfortable !!!

This is why Tnet is the best:

1] If you find a pulltab or a gold coin, you are encouraged the same.
2] I love you all, the people are great.
3] The site is a book of interesting facts.
4] The Moderators etc are the best.... They are very fair.
5] I have learnt so much from everyone. Every topic a history lesson.
6] Love the pictures.
7] It was this site that got me started... the gift of my detector  ;)
8] Even my stupid questions are answered with respect.
9] I laugh, cry, and sometimes feel sorry with the people every time I come here....
10] Where else do you get such beautiful lasses that can take a joke and laugh with us men?

God bless
Peter

Great source of information.
Lots of friendly folks. Like family.
Willing to help each other when they need it.
Tough love, when they need it too.
Like seeing what others find from different parts of the country and the world.
Can always get a good laugh.
Chat room, when I have the time.

Thanks Badger.

Where else on the net will you find a forum make GOOD friends and be able to give them such a hard time one minute,,,,, and the next minute get the most accurate and sincerely honest information helping you, from the same guy?

Good bad or indifferent, you must admit... the help offered by anyone on TN is honest accurate and sincere.

Will,
Any chain pulling you get from me is at the very least for humors sake, and never meant to offend.

Thom,

Don't worry.  I won't be offended.  But if you ever mean to offend, you should make it super-nasty so that I'll know 

-Buckleboy

BB,
Gotcha.

LOL

I also like the fact that the members do back their posts with facts, or ask for help in doing so. Shows not only honesty but integrity.

I really like that everyone lets an old desert bum like me participate as an equal.

Thanks,

IT GOOD

BUCKLEBOY HAPPY HERE.

OLD DOG TOO

     I like it here because everyone is very friendly and helpful. Even though I have not found great things yet, I am still welcomed here. The chat room is great. Everytime I enter, everyone says Hi. The folks here are just awesome and I just wish that I had the time to hunt with you. I post on several other forums, but the bulk of my time is spent here. There are people who are very knowledgeable about all fields of treasure hunting (detecting, cache, prospecting, etc). When the chips are down and life has kicked you in the gut, you can come here for support. Great site. The mods are top notch in my opinion.

You can still smoke stogies while you read.

I like TreasureNet because of all of you. Detecting is secondary thank you family.
Burdie

I am here because KirkPA is here.

Seems I left out a lot of people when I mentioned a few....
Joe Curry and Nick P. and MANY more....
especially the ones who encouraged me to sign up.
even my partner Doug ,,,,,

Awesome folks all.

didn't want to hurt any feelers
I was generalising at the time.
