[@DirtDiggersUK]

I said F it I'll comment on this video before me. It's not about the habits. It's about that song in the beginning. What kind if hillbilly, Donnie and Marie, heehaw jingle was that??!! 🤣 at least you're keeping it real . Educating is a good trait. You earned a point today. Cya around, maybe.

[@helenleary1327]

Worst Bad habit (and disgusting at that) is spitting on your finds. Just saying!

[@TheManWithTheHat]

But that doesn’t impede your discoveries. Just saying.

[@helenleary1327]

@@TheManWithTheHat So long as everything is adequately disinfected before passing over to the FLO... Discovering is one thing, but the respect we give to the finds after that, is down to individual responsibility. :) :) :)

[@milsub59]

Not as bad as people rubbing the mud and grit off a delicate coin/item !
