finding a body?

[omnicognic]

laying here still trying to recover from the plague, I had a wierd thought, what if someone was digging a ring signal and found the ring still attached to the hand? Have you personally, or have you heard about finding a body while MDing?

i have never heard of it happening, but I'm shure it could if you were in a cemetery that the geography has changed a bunch in. There could be a bone hand with a ring on it right below the surface.

When I was in high school a guy in my class was with a friend near Loch Raven Dam in Baltimore County. They were walking the stream and found what they thought was a manequin. NOT! They threw a couple of rocks etc...Wound up they went over and found a girls body that had been missing for a week or so. They were never the same after that. Don't know why, but I have always remembered that.

A few years ago a cousion of mine was detecting an old hospital for thre criminally insane. He found the renains of a body.
It had been there for a long time, not sure if they ever ID'ed it, or not. It was on the news, and there was also an artical about it here on the web, but I can't find the link. The hospital had been know for it's creul and inhumane treament of it's patients since it's beginning. It went into opperation back in the early 1800's, and was eventually close in the 1970's. There are probably still bodies ( bones ) in there today.

That gives me the creeps because across the road the neighborhood psycho picked up a few old stone grave markers so he could plow the area for more bushels! My brother-in-law saw them while hunting deer sheds, they are leaning against the fence that borders on my families' property. I've thought about turning him in but I doubt anything would be done.

A friend of mine was on a routine reservoir inspection once, and in about 40 ft of water he found a snowmobile helmet.. And, it wasn't empty... You know, it's difficult, but you 'can' actually blow chunks through the oral/nasal of a Superlite, and right out the second stage exhaust...

Hunted a friends house site a few years back. Was interesting for a while. Was at one time a hotel, brothel, and a mortuary. Just west of the house started pulling up small metal pieces w/wood attached-turned out to be pieces of casket. Just said a kind word, reburied pieces in hole and left, don't know if bones were next-but decided that there were greener pastures elsewhere

GunFarce, I once spewed while diving, that IS a scary event: 1.) remove regulator. 2.) spew.
3.) reinsert regulator. 4.) clear regulator. 5.) breathe. 6.) repeat steps 1-6 as necessary! but hey the fish loved it!

Actually,

this is a big fear of mine while scuba diving!

Haven't run across any drown person laying on the bottem yet (and hope I don't)!

I don't like this information thats being put on here.? Though if you happen to bump into a persons body.Very Important!Do not touch anything or remove anything including around the area of the find also! Items found could be part of a crime seen! You could mess up finger prints and any thing that could lead to the persons reason of death!
Call your local Police and let them know where it is.The other reason is you could end up being part of the crime seen and you would also be in big trouble for obstructing the law ....Period!
Note: I am not a police officer or that of..I took a class that showed what police do and some of this kind of information was presented as part of the class.

The serrated edge was put on the Leshe tool for a reason. Bloated fingers, what else. Drop the whole thing in your pouch and throw it in the tumbler when you get home.
