This time out Twenty Questions with Girls Rock Metal
Detecting has decide to harass Brandon Neice aka Dr. Tones of Dirt Fishin America fame. Dr. Tones’s background
uncovers a life time of experience which began at a young age prospecting with
his father and eventually expanded into a full grown habit of metal detecting
and relic hunting. He’s an integral part of this fun-loving group of guys who,
when not fighting fires and saving lives at their “regular jobs”, are digging
for treasures all across the United States and beyond. Dr. Tones also brings some super-talented
video editing skills to the table that make the rest of us YouTubers want to
hang our heads in shame. If you haven’t
checked out these videos yet, you’re in for a real treat!
1. Pretend you’re doing an interview for the coolest page on
Facebook (Oh, wait, we are the coolest page on Facebook!) tell us, who IS Dr.
Tones?
Dr. Tones is my (Brandon
Neice’s) alter ego. He’s an adventurer. A mix between Indiana Jones and a
Goonie. The name was a silly pun on words that I used for my forum handle. It
carried over into my YouTube channel.
2. What did you want to be when you were 10 years old?
Pretty sure at age ten I
wanted to be a comic book artist or a baseball player.
3. If you could go back and talk to your 10 year old self,
what would you say?
Focus on your education!
It will make your life easier when you become an adult!
4. What would the title of your autobiography be?
I have so much ahead of
me, I don’t even know. "The best is yet to come” ??? ;)
5. What has been your strangest life experience?
I’m a firefighter
paramedic. I can’t begin to tell you how many strange experiences I’ve had.
Every day is stranger than the last. Right when you think you’ve seen it all,
someone blows your mind.
Sexy is when you get
dirty… really dirty.
7. Here at Girls Rock Metal Detecting, we’re really into
music – what song would you say best describes your metal detecting technique?
(Explain)
The Smashing Pumpkins
“Today” Because “today is the greatest…” every time we get to go detecting.
8. If you could bring one musician back from the dead, who
would it be and why?
Kurt Cobain. So I could
give him a hug and tell him that he’s not alone and that there’s help for him.
9. What do you think about when you’re alone?
When I’m alone I think
about why how nice it is to be alone. And then I miss having company and get
lonely.
10. A billionaire offers you a million dollars to launch
your best business idea. What is this
business venture?
Chicken-Mike-Nuggets.
Chicken nuggets shaped like Evander Holyfields ears that come with ketchup.
11. If you could be anyone besides yourself who would you be
and why? And you have to choose someone
else, you can’t cop out and say “I wouldn’t choose anyone, I love who I am!”
--because that’s just BORING!
I would be Einstein so I
could know what it’s like to be ridiculously smart.
12. Is the glass half empty or is it half full?
The glass is half full
but could always use a refill
13. If you could change ANYTHING about the world we live in,
what would it be?
I would give all the
parents in the world a chance to watch their children live full, happy lives
free of pain, disease and abuse. After having a son of my own who is healthy
and thriving, I can’t imagine being a parent having to cope with some of the
aforementioned.
14. Now for the detecting questions, this is a detecting
page after all. What does metal detecting mean to you?
Metal detecting to me is
a fun way to learn about the past while preserving it. Most important, it gives
me memories and gets me out exploring.
15. If you could
spend an entire week detecting one single location, anywhere in the world,
where would you be digging and why?
Somewhere with land
mines so I could feel like I made a difference.
16. You are six miles
deep into the woods and you dig up 100 gold bars. You only have access to the property for 24
hours and there is no way you can carry them all out at one time. The terrain
is such that you cannot access it with any vehicles of any sort, what do you
do?
Do I have cell
reception? If so I’d text all my friends the coordinates and tell them to
hurry! You can keep what you can carry!
17. You have found
the perfect digging spot, turning up lots and lots of goodies, do you invite
your friends to join or do you keep it to yourself?
Refer to the above.
18. You’ve asked a
farmer if you can detect his property.
He says, “No, the last person to dig here was a real jackass and left
holes and trash all over the place. What
do you do/say to convince him to allow you to detect his property?
I ask the farmer if he
has the name of the individual that ruined my chances of detecting his land so
I could put my T-handle upside his head!
19. The only
predictable question that everyone wants to know so we have to ask it: What is your all-time favorite metal detector
and what do you love about it?
CTX 3030. I love it
because it just clicks with me. I have spent so much time with her. She has
found my best digs.
20. What do you think about Girls Rock Metal Detecting and
if you could change anything about it what would that be? (Note: If you’re mean
to us well throw rocks at you and call you names.)
