Again I got booted from the Picnic Grove that I have Permission to hunt.....
Now the phone calls begin again.... I have a committee that granted me permission and the I have some guy who just uses the place to have parties kicks me out..... I might add that it wasn't in a nice way either. Put a big damper on the day...
Any ways...
I invited Kimsdad out for the second time to the grove...
My first signal was a 1939d Washington Quarter ( I scratched the back of it ) It was pretty black so I polished it up a bit when I got home.
After about an hour and some wheaties this guy approaches us telling me that it's the last day I'm going to be out here.. "Your Done " "No more" ..... I told him I have permission from the committee.. I just got off the phone with the committee and "Your Done"with this out here... Look at this your digging holes Blah Blah......
I finished finding my target in the hole so Neil and I left......
On the way out I said to Neil ,Here's my last coin I dug from here.. My last wheatie.... I rubbed it and to my surprise it turned out to be a 1901 IH
Sure put a damper on the day.....So we headed to a park....Then Lunch...Thanks Neil for the Lunch....Sorry Things turned out the way they did..... I have to keep a level head about it....
Here's my lucky finds...

Is this guy a regular at the place or was he there having a party? Even with permission, if you have one or more detractors then it'd make sense to make sure those people are not there when you go, right?

Sounds like a raw deal Bob, but you'll hit better ground anyway.

Nice finds, Bob!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

If you never get to go back, at least you left in style! :o

Too bad that guy's mama never taught him manners.

The E and I were not understanding each other today...
 

DP Bob,
Sorry to hear about your loss of such a good hunting place. It's a shame that some people who are busy bodies make trouble for us. At least it was cool that the penny turned out to be a I.H. and you got a nice silver today as well.

GREAT FINDS HOPE YOU CAN GET BACK IN!
 

If I don't receive a call about the crazed guy by the middle of the week then I'm going back.....

Thanks guys.....
 

At least you struck silver and ended your hunt with a cool Indian :thumbsup:
I don't think the committee will take him that seriously if he exhibits the same attitude with them as he did with you.

Take care,
Mark
 

Yikes!
That place is sure a roller coaster ride. Worst case, at least you guys got back in there for a few more finds.

Nice finds Bob! Maybe things will work out there again. :thumbsup:
 

Good luck in being able to get back to your spot. Nice finds!
