...anyone else had had something similar happen?
I work at a program (Mental Health) that's about $20 in gas (Round Trip) from where I live. I work 17 and 11hr shifts
on any given day. Yesterday I got off of an 11hr shift and had to be back to work (For a 17hr shift) about 5hrs later.
I didn't see any reason to drive home and back (A $20 bill) between shifts for the couple of hours I'd get to be there
(Home) so, on days when THAT happens, I usually hunt the parks around work (Corvallis, OR).
I'm hunting some old parks yesterday (In Corvallis). I'm digging a pretty good "hit" (mid 80's to 90
on My ATP with the 5X8 coil) at about 8 inches and my pro-pointer is goin' nuts in the hole. I'm diggin' it for a few minutes
(Fantasizing that it's some really cool.....SOMETHING! lol), look up suddenly and here's this little old Asian (I "Think" She
was Korean [?]) gal leaning over me (I ain't got a clue where she came from
!)!
I about jumped out of My skin! lol She was pretty much right on top of me and staring at the beeping pinpointer I
had in My hand. She said "something" to me in "Korean/Mandarin/Japanese" and then laughed. I didn't have a
clue what She was saying so I said...."Yeah, there's something metal down there" (Brilliant huh? lol).
The ol' gal followed me around the park for the next hour (I let Her listen to the ATP through the 'phones
and showed Her how the pinpointer worked [She got a kick out of that and I got another burst of some language
I didn't understand
])
Anyway,....anyone else have that happen to them? I thought that is was pretty cool that this Lady and I made
some sort've connection (Despite an almost complete language barrier) over digging up stuff in a public park.
It was pretty cool IMHO.
