we got out today first we went to the next town over, seen they had dug up some ground for new underground electric lines at the county couthouse ;D was there for about an hour or so and found just the normal clad. A couple bucks so it wasnt so bad then decided to head back to our hometown about 14 mile away, we stopped at home then went uptown about a mile at the high school, the pics are of the courthouse didnt get any of the highschool cause while we was hunting Barney Fife happened to stop by with lights and all to tell me to cease and desist ! i said isnt this public property ? he said no its private and i cant hunt at the park, or along the river in town cause of army corp of engineers archie stuff also ! I said i thought this high school was public property? He told me no it was private ! i know its public but i didnt say much since it seemed he was looking for a reason to get worked up over. i asked him where i could metaldetect and he said my own property or the woods ! He took my info and called it in to check me out ;D he is kinda new and all the other police told us to detect there and around the police staion if we wanted hummmm. Well i didnt say much as he was asking if that was my truck and looking it over at the same time figured he'd come up with something if i said much, so today we found $4.86 in clad and wife found a nice 1944 wheatie and a locket with a pic in it that we cant make much out of ;) and since the wife knows the mayor (who is a female friend of hers ) we are going to pay a visit to her monday at her office 8) thanks for looking and wish us luck !

Re: out today and runin with Barney Fife !

Ok heres the update ;D wife today explained to the mayor how we pick up trash an dont leave holes and bother no one, wife told her what happened and the mayor called police chief and told him she didnt have a problem with it and the chief said he didnt either ;) but told her to call the board of education and ask about the school and get it in writing if we can to detect on school property , So we've got our close by detecting again and the guy with the chip on his shoulders has to take his bullet out of his gun for now ;)
 
You da Man Weasel.
Thanks for the update.
-MM-
 
Thanks MM ! actually it was the wife that got to see the mayor, I had to work :'( just glad that we can detect in our hometown again :D
 
I never did understand on what grounds he told you couldn't detect. Some towns have vague laws concerning parks that are hard for anyone to interpret let alone a Barney type officer. For instance there is a law her that forbids: "The molesting of park plants." So it begs to ask, Is grass condidered a plant for the purpose of the law? How about weeds? And molesting? Does that mean sexually molesting? I can just picture some buck naked dude fondling a geranium in a lewd manner! :D
M ::) nty
 
;D Monty ! he never gave me a reason why just said we couldnt ! I took it he just didnt like detectorist ;)
 
Nice day hunt'n. I guess I'm in a good spot. Hunted at the playground behind the house today and the police just drive by and wave. ;D

Man I hate when "the man" throws his weight around for no good reason. I hope your visit with the mayor gets him straightend out.

Not much it seems to be harder and harder to find. I'm actually thinking of buying some stratified seeds and planting some.
