I am a school bus driver and was given my Ducky for Easter by a little girl on my bus. Since starting detecting last June I have found four beautiful, shiny little bits of gold (Ducky is holding them) and consider myself lucky for my finds

My user name is an old cricket nickname.
I used to play cricket at Moore park, and had one rise off a length and hit me on the head. In those days I used to bat without a helmet, even though I was opening, because the artificial grass was pretty predictable, but not on that occasion.
The boys told me that they thought I was alright, as while the ball went high into the air after hitting my head, I just stood there for a while. But then I fell flat on my face without putting my hands out to break the fall, having blacked out for a few seconds, and was pretty woozy for a while. Should have gone to hospital to be checked, but did not.
For the rest of the season I was stuffed if the ball was on a similar line or length, and put together the highest number of ducks in a season in the 70 year history of the club. They were good with nicknames, and that's how I got the nickname Dr Duck, a combination of my year of ducks with my academic title.
Prior to that I had the nickname "the wall of flesh", because I always got behind the ball and did not mind being hit! There were always lots of flashy players, and my job in those days was to open the batting and hold up an end. I carried my bat through the innings a couple of times.
Luckily I came good the season after that, but always wore a helmet, a couple of which had to be retired due to being cracked by bouncers. After I moved to Goulburn, I played second grade for a number of years, and even got a few runs in first grade, playing at Bradman oval twice. But it is safe to say I was not a genuine first grader!
Cricket can be a dangerous sport, and I have seen plenty of blokes hit while batting or fielding close in over the years.
After the infamous Inner Circle OP rum incident at Tuena, I thought of changing my user name to Wobbly Boot, but that's another story.

I like to dig up gold and move a lot of material so the name Golddigger was apt and Art was added on because of my real name Arthur... Golddiggerart... :Y:

Maybe its a reference to five - oh like Hawaii 5-0
Kind of funny , when I worked in pubs and clubs as a young bloke we used to get undercover cops coming in to mingle with the gangsters.
You could always tell who the cops were because they would wear floral Hawaiian shirts the same as the cops on the TV series because they just knew it made them invisible.
This was in a town where nobody wore Hawaiian shirts except cops who watched too much TV.
Well i can't say much LW, and who really knows, you may well be involved in the same line of work, hence the perceptive comment So way back in the early day's i was working across australia as a woolclasser, and i'd been working with this particular shearer for quite a number of seasons. Well, one weekend it happened that only myself and this shearer were the only members of the team hutting it, the rest hsd headed off to various towns and cities for the weekend. At some point over the weekend, during one of our many conversations this shearer told me about the extra curricular work he had been doing without anyones knowledge over the years. He noted that my position as a woolclasser provided me the opportunities to seamlessly mix with people of a higher social standing (like the McBrides & McLachlans etc) than his title did, and that it would be most beneficial to the country and the company if i was to come on board. Needless to say, i accepted the offer and worked for the company as an agent for the next 15 years. SS was my codename.

What kind of wool did you have to spy on ?
Was it dangerous work ?
I was entering Maitland Courthouse and as I opened the door I spotted a bloke in prison green heading towards me at a great rate. I closed the swinging door and took hold of the handles and braced myself. He hit the door to push it open to no avail, and then tried to pull it back - no luck. By then the Corrective Services officers were on top of him, the Police Prosecutor came through a second door, asking where he was. I just said he didn't get past me ( I was a fair lump of a bloke). After that I got the occasional nickname Blocker. When I needed a 'sign on' name I thought of this one.

I was/am a fan of DJ Tiesto and I did a heap of online gaming years back. My character was always Tiezto because the first time i used it Tiesto was already taken so I added a "z" instead.
Its pronounced Tee-ez-toe.
I did have a ton of nicknames growing up as I am 6ft6 and thin. Stretch, lurch, lanky, sticks (loved that one as i am a Carlton FC fan), and many others. Oh and the boys as cricket called me Victor as i supposedly always cut their grass when we were out on the town lol
