"That sounds a little ghoulish to me."
I've heard metal detecting called alot of things...usually it is called weird by my friends...but ghoulish? Is she nuts
Last night my DH finally secured permission for a new site I scouted out in Swarthmore. Anyone who knows the college or the area will really understand...Swarthmoreans...tree hugging academians...a little different ...is what they are known to be.
We were minding our own business, detecting the yard of this property when i noticed an older woman watching us. Then her husband was watching. Then she asked, "What are you doing." So I explained that we were looking for old coins and that we had permission from the builder who owns the property. She expressed her opinion that any finds should then be turned over to him and I sort of laughed and said, "well you've heard of the finders keepers rule haven't you?" She wasn't laughing with me. Well I explained that dug coins aren't often worth much anyway. She walked away from me saying..." That sounds a little ghoulish to me."
So I guess she is entitled to her opinion. Do you think detecting is ghoulish? What do you think she meant My DH thinks she might have a body buried in her yard.
