50 coin day: Druggies take to the field!

[Leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose.....Monday was a super day where one could almost wear shorts and a tank top. Thought I'd take advantage of this before old man winter creeps up and bites me on the butt. Had limited time and was actually quite excited as that evening I was to report to my new shift commander for regular duties. With this in mind I hit the ball field behind the Super Store where I had umpired many a game. Um! Was still busy this time of year as there were cars in the parking lot and folks coming and a going from all directions as you can see by looking at this photo of the field.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7df30b3127cce8160a5ac733000000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

Someone suddenly opened the fridge door and the light came on as I saw a group of young men in the woods. You know the type! The ones with the hats on backwards and their pants dragging in the dirt. Of course once I cranked up Land Baby and tuned in my Garrett ear it wasn't long before I found further evidence of what was taking place by the multitude of little baggies scattered all around the fence line outside the field. Be dammed and pickled if I was going to let these "gentlemen of leisure and free enterprise ruin my dig.

Of course they probably thought I was mentally challenged with my frog boots, lobster gloves and dirty old Garrett hat on the right way not too mention that most of the field was a quagmire. Did direct one question at me, " Yo homey watzup?" Thought about this and put the phrase through my "universal translator" and replied that I was looking for a ring that I knew was lost here. After this they left me alone and went back to their office in the woods to conduct business.

Field was indeed very wet but this gave me extra depth and in an hour 25 had my quota. Did hit a first on this field but didn't find the ring Think this find from deep center field says it all about was was going on around me although I felt safe.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7df30b3127cce8160a5aa733600000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

one never knows 'what' one will find while detecting. BTW their hats were on straight, its their heads they don't have on straight.
Nice finds. Too bad ya didn't get the ring but a nice haul anyways Leslie.

Do I foresee a drug bust in the woods one of these days???

Maybe after they get busted ya can detect in the woods and see what they lost - roach clips and other paraphenalia, money (be nice if ya found a cache of bills in an ammo box or something).

Good going Leslie.

BTW we have white stuff on the ground here in upper lower Michigan and cold winds blowing hard. But I see drips coming off the roofs so warm enough to melt.

Question for ya Leslie - police scanners - you guys running digital like everyone in the United States or still on an older 800 mhz analog type system? If you are still using old stuff and not digital let me know.

Maybe you should have told them that you were an undercover drug agent. That would have made their day and cleared the field & woods for you to detect. Drugs are going to be the downfall of our future generation.
