guy before me runied it

[kenny1]

i have been looking to detect this house for a long time.i found the owner the other day and not two months ago some guy got to detect it and the owner happend by and the guy wasnt even trying to fill his holes.just left however he dug them.he showed me and the guy had just left the dirt to the side of the hole.this house was one of this first homesteds here well over 100 years old.made from hand hewn logs.the owner said he would think about it.so maybe just maybe here are some pics.

If the homeowner still has the "previous" hunters name & phone number,
it would be worth a call to set this jerk straight and keep him from ruining
potential sites for others.

Maybe a goodwill gesture on your part of offering to "tidy-up" this idiot's blunders
may smooth things over and garner you a nice site to hunt. . . plus, a new friend.

All the best.

I found that talking to these types of jerks is just that, talk. They did not have a clue before they dug and left those holes , and talking to them does NOT enlighten them one bit. They think they are going by the rules...THEIR RULES... and that is ALL they need to know about life.

I'm not trying to discourage you from talking till your blue in the face. But that slob is a slob, is a slob, is a slob and will not change for reality sake.

Communication and correcting other mistakes has helped. Hope you do well.

Kenny, great post. Nice to meet ya (in this ephemeral way). Followed it from when you started it. You've got the good Karma showing, treasures (as a rule) will follow!

 

[Curious The George]

Kenny, Did those coins come from the log house or from the site of the original old homeplace? Have you gotten to check it out yet?

You did real well on making things right with the home owner. Some guys are jerks or maybe he bought his detector from mail order and didn't get any instruction on how to retrieve a coin or fill in the holes. Many newbies are not inconsiderate, just uninformed. Some should be shot if they keep doing the mess.
