Interesting story about trying to gain permission to detect a yard

[treblehunter]

I went for a ride today to a place to try and get permits for state WMA's, no luck! On the way back I stopped at a old house to knock on the door. This is where I'm starting to have second thoughts. A older lady comes out of the house a little combative at first after I introduced myself as a hobbiest and all around great guy. She says "well what makes you think you can come on someone else's property and keep what is rightfully there's"? I just told her that I never said anything about keeping anything. She went on about, why are you doing this? what do you think your going to find? Have you ever found anything really worth allot of money? I fielded all her questions, telling her that I just like to pass my time doing what I do digging up other peoples trash hoping to find old coins that I think are pretty and are worth at most 20 or 30 dollars on a good day. She then said go ahead and do it, do you have your equipment? I come back with my stuff and she asked if I had a card, when I said no she says how about some ID? I hand her my licence (this is where I made my mistake and should have run) she goes up the steps out of the sun and takes a pic of my ID?? She hands it back. I start detecting and she says, "if anyone says anything, the owner didn't say you could detect here. I turned around and said who is the owner, she says " my boyfriend, but he is working so hurry up and do your thing" I just turned around and detected around the corner, around the front, down one side, back out another all the time thinking is this a good idea? I finally after about 20 minutes decided I better beat it. I said goodbye and thank you, and she was like"hey you didn't do my back yard yet, why don't you do my back yard?" She then started chewing my ear off about Lyme disease and Jessie Venturie and the Plumb Island conspiracy and I finally broke free running for my car, ha lol.

I spent a couple hours at one of my other permissions in the morning, finding this neat looking brass pendant.
Here are some pix, enjoy and happy hunting

Heard this the other day. "They are using cell towers to project parabolic beams, that's how they project those images you see on the news"

I hate those parabolic beams, they give my AT Pro a headache and infect my ticks with parabolic Lyme's superfly
