So while i was digging in my hole, a police SUV came up behind me and pulls up alongside me.
The officer (A) on the driver side asked, "What are you doing?
I : Metal detecting.
Officer A : "Do you work for the parks department"?
I : no, sir.
Officer A : "Well, you cant do that here."
I : Well, I have a permit.
Officer A : Let me see it, *Gets out of the vehicle.
Im thinking, here we go again... *gets up, pull out my wallet and dig out my MDing permit, unfolds it and hands it over to the officer.
Officer A: is actively looking over my permit.
Officer B came over from the other side. both looking at my permit,
Officer B : reads out half of line 7.
Me : I fill in all my holes and leave the area like i was never here. while gesturing with my hand to where i had been. I then inform Officer A, who was still looking at my permit, that the parks department added a whole list of new parks to the allowed list for metal detecting, it's on the back. Officer A, flips the permit over and says "Brooklyn".... "XXXXXX Park". Officer A then flips the permit back over and continues looking at my permit, say something of the sort "Look at how its just written in" to officer B. He then asks how did i get the permit, I said I mailed the application to 123 something in the city, the parks department office. Officer A : and this is what they maill back to you? I, yep.
Officer A : alright Im going to have to look it up with the park's official, because the permit dont look official. while handing me back my permit. They then get back in their vehicle, I said you can always go to the parks department website and look it up.
Officer A : That's not the thing, I still to have to check with parks official.
Me : okay, have a nice day.
officers drives away.....
about 10 minutes later, a park staff person comes over and say "Just make sure you fill in your holes" I reply with I always do.
Why do i get the feeling the Cop was thinking This guy is going to get a summons today! but The law was on my side and he felt bitter, that i got the better of him, because when I said "Have a nice day", he didnt say anything back, and I got the impression he was not happy or pleased.
Anyways i scored silver early on today's dig, two rosies from one hole, and a nice small sterling silver ring to end it...
