I could not stay in town today after work so after I came home and took care of the dog I headed to a nearby park lawn that I have worked twice before scince I moved here 3 months ago ! It is a big ash dump covered over with anywhere from 4 inches to a foot of top soil over it . I can punch through the soil in places and I have picked up a few nice relics out of here already ! I was in plain site to the road and saw the cop car pull up ! Here we go I thought ! She walked over and I had a pretty big deep hole going and she told me there was a complaint about me digging there ! I proceded to fill the hole in while I asked her if there was an ordinance against Metal detecting on city property . She said it was one thing to find a coin on the ground and pick it up and digging a good sized hole in the lawn ! I explained to her that I was not really looking for coins per say and certainly not modern coins on top of the ground . I told her about the ash dump underneath the top soil and that I was looking for items in the ash and I asked her if she could find any evidence of damage to the lawn ! I also showed her all the trash I had put in my bag and explained to her that I leave the place cleaner than before I hunted there ! She said ok that should satisfy the complaitant and told me to have a nice evening and went on her way ! Only 3 wheaties and some clad today ! MaineRelic.
