OK, You found a dead body in the woods.

[RGINN]

Archaeologists and relic hunters have done that to my ancestors for years, so maybe direct your question to how they handle it.

The last time I found a dead body it was in a local picnic area, he didn't have any jewelery on but he did have a nearly full can of beer in his hand. The guy's mouth was shut so I ran the coil over it and got the best mid-range gold signal ever, has got to be a gold tooth I thought, no way it's not gold! Then upon prying his teeth apart I found the poor guy had choked on a pull tab.

You know I really hate myself for this kind of thing, but I just can't resist.

Need more info. How much jewelry and how fat is the wallet?

 

[JUNKER]

Well ha ha ha you must be bored out of your minds but this subject is rough if you need to rob the body knock your self out but it does come back to haunt you.

Their were these people that were grave robbers for the gold and jewelry with in two years they all died mysteriously.

And as far as calling the cops you are right they want to blame you for it it just aint right so do what you want.

By chance or bad luck that you do find a body you will never forget it as long as you live.

The people that need to be locked up there isn't enough room for them all.

With the new trend to be over sensitive and offended by everything, it can be pretty easy to bait em in.

There's 'history' on Treasurenet with idiots wanting to detect graveyards, etc.
There is no doubt in my mind that there are people on here who are not 'just kiddin!!'

Jeff.. I live in the part of Tennessee that Tnmountains lives in... does that tell you anything!?

Yep you are not far at all.
They found a car in a creek called Battle creek. They pulled it out and it had a body in the trunk. When the cops were walking out of the woods they found a suit case that had washed down the creek from the high water. It also had a body in it. The cases were unrelated thy said. We speculated it was outsiders. The locals would never dump bodies where they live.

I guess it's just common sense to search a body you find, and to look for gold teeth and such.

My question is, what if you found a body that was mostly dead? Would you wait for them to die, give them a whack with your shovel, or just search them while they were still alive?

I don't know if I could take stuff from a body that was still breathing. That just seems wrong somehow.

Now I'm afraid to go on vacation. There are waaaay too many bodies where you people live!!

Karma is real.

 

[MuckyBottles]

I was just kidding about jacking a dead body, however if it had Mr. T gold, forget about morals and standards..

 

[Limitool]

Every time I find a body out back I check to see if their wallet is full of cash. And I check for gold teeth also (always carry chisel, hammer & GPS). Also... always check for an ATV key. I've picked up 15 extra ATV's over the years. It takes awhile to find them usually... but what the heck their FREE. Not bad for only finding 48 1/2 bodies. The dogs and vultures help a lot (gotta learn to read the signs). The GPS is for when their "mostly dead"... got to know where they'll be for later return. Picked up a few full size trucks also... but their hard to sell without the title. Got to part them out... but that's a lot of work. Well gotta fix breakfast and head out back... vultures are circling again.

I'm not sure what I would do. Probably cremate it since I don't carry a shovel.

 

[JUNKER]

Well now if it was a fellow detector with full gear and a new high end detector. Now what would I do __ _ ______ ___ ___ ___ ___

 

[FFARL]

This has actually happened to me. A buddy and I were fishing in MI on the day the ice broke enough for us to get our canoe in. We came around an outcropping at a golf course, and there he was. We named him Eddy, rowed back upstream to a pay phone and called the cops. Kirk wanted to check his wallet, I wouldn't let him. Not for moral reasons. For hygienic reasons.

Yes I imagine it would be pretty grose even a fresh body would give me the creeps

I love karma - it means that I can treat people any way I want, and assume they deserve it

 

[Bitpusher]

Why not? Do you only hunt parks or something?

I guess you're right though - it would take forever to dig a hole that big with a Lesche.

But dead bodies have had my best finds!
