    Picnic Grove hunt with Kimsdad We got kicked out....

    Again I got booted from the Picnic Grove that I have Permission to hunt.....
    Now the phone calls begin again.... I have a committee that granted me permission and the I have some guy who just uses the place to have parties kicks me out..... I might add that it wasn't in a nice way either. Put a big damper on the day...
    Any ways...
    I invited Kimsdad out for the second time to the grove...
    My first signal was a 1939d Washington Quarter ( I scratched the back of it ) It was pretty black so I polished it up a bit when I got home.
    After about an hour and some wheaties this guy approaches us telling me that it's the last day I'm going to be out here.. "Your Done " "No more" ..... I told him I have permission from the committee.. I just got off the phone with the committee and "Your Done"with this out here... Look at this your digging holes Blah Blah......
    I finished finding my target in the hole so Neil and I left......
    On the way out I said to Neil ,Here's my last coin I dug from here.. My last wheatie.... I rubbed it and to my surprise it turned out to be a 1901 IH
    Sure put a damper on the day.....So we headed to a park....Then Lunch...Thanks Neil for the Lunch....Sorry Things turned out the way they did..... I have to keep a level head about it....
    Here's my lucky finds...

    Re: Picnic Grove hunt with Kimsdad We got kicked out....

    Is this guy a regular at the place or was he there having a party? Even with permission, if you have one or more detractors then it'd make sense to make sure those people are not there when you go, right?

    Sounds like a raw deal Bob, but you'll hit better ground anyway.

    If you never get to go back, at least you left in style!

    Too bad that guy's mama never taught him manners.

    The E and I were not understanding each other today...
    God bless our veterans! Thank you for your sacrifices!

    DP Bob,
    Sorry to hear about your loss of such a good hunting place. It's a shame that some people who are busy bodies make trouble for us. At least it was cool that the penny turned out to be a I.H. and you got a nice silver today as well.

    -Jon

    At least you struck silver and ended your hunt with a cool Indian
    I don't think the committee will take him that seriously if he exhibits the same attitude with them as he did with you.

    Take care,
    Mark

    Yikes!
    That place is sure a roller coaster ride. Worst case, at least you guys got back in there for a few more finds.
