Never lie. Carry mace. Good hunting and good luck

Mace, All that does is make them mad.

I like to keep the sun at my back so I can see shadows coming from behind me. One kid did just that, then asked what the knife ( my digger) was for. I said to protect me from kids that sneak up on me from behind. I smiled when I said it, but I think he understood.

Iv'e always been a optimist and always try and find a positive way to do anything. Have you considered going to one of the local youth leaders in the area and asking if he or she would like to take a small group of inner city kids with you to hunt the park. I guaranty those kids would think it amazing to find anything buried all the while sharing your talents with them. You never know, you might spark a young persons interest that leads to becoming an archiologist
or even better, a metal detector enthusiast and new member to Tnet.

I think young black bears are the worst. Never trust them and don’t take your eyes off them. Very violent and dumb.

No that’s not me. I just want to detect this public park without getting killed for being a Caucasian.

Just wear a jacket with the confederate flag on the back and you will be fine.

Big black bears don't like confederate flags.

Big black bears don't like confederate flags.

That's just a myth

Well,here in Texas we can carry,however one has enough weight to carry around as it is.The tools I use to dig are weapons
in themselves.However I also know you don't carry a knife or small shovel to a gun fight.Nor mace.So your idea is a good one.
Maybe they will think you are just a worker looking for a water pipe or something.Maybe.
