Re: I was told there'd be cake!
Hey Einstein, I never said he had permission. I said, "if you have permission and to NOT hunt over graves". So continue to make yourself look like an a$$ its fun to watch... And this is the Comedy thread. Bring back the clown, it fits you great.af1733 said:I'm not speaking out of any animosity towards drummer here, but from personal experience.
I grew up in a funeral home and, as a byproduct, in and around cemeteries as well. There's a reason a lot of cemeteries are closed after hours and that lots are well-lit and maintained. It's because people that have their loved ones buried there detest the thought of those loved-ones final resting places being desecrated by people that don't have an ounce of self-control.
Yes, the thought of hunting an old cemetery brings visions of large cents and seated silver and whatnot, but you have to have enough respect for the deceased not to go digging up their new "homes."
And here's some food for thought for you. You may think. "Well, cemeteries are public places, so detecting is legal there." Could not be more wrong.
Each plot in that cemetery was bought and paid for by the family members of the deceased. The non-burial areas can be owned by a number of different groups, but typically they are owned by a funeral home or mortuary, or another private organization. Sometimes, but rarely, will you find a cemetery that is owned by a city or town.
In drummer's situation, this is an older cemetery that is owned by, in his words, "an old grouch" that refused to sell the land to his family. Does it appear to anyone, except maybe Lucky, that he has permission to be here?
So, given all of this, do you still think it's perfectly acceptable to hunt a cemetery?
