I wasn't supposed to detect today. It was going to be chore day. Problem is it is too darn nice out and it had rained over the weekend so off I went to a new site. Started out nice with the junk dolphin ring and the 20 cent Euro coin from Spain. Then the clad started coming and man was it coming fast. Lots of coin spills, lots of half dollar signals that turned out to be piles of coins. Surprisingly, very little other than clad. Here's the funny story:
I'm detecting along a path and there is this jogger (pretty girl with a real nice body) who keeps jogging by. I check her out pretty good and can't help noticing she is not checking me out. She ran by me 4 or 5 times and then stopped. About 15 minutes later a policeman came up behind me and asked me what was going on. I told him I was just metal detecting and that I had asked permission. He said that he had no problem with me detecting but that I couldn't harass other folks in the park. I had no idea what he was talking about and said so. He said he got a complaint from a female jogger and pointed at the pretty girl who said I was making lewd comments about her body. I told him that I didn't say a word to the girl and he told me to follow him. We approached the girl and discussed the situation and she said she heard me talking about the size of her breasts every time she passed me. I had to think for a minute but I finally figured it out. I held my 2500 up and imaged a fence post and she said "size D at 8 inches." The girl laughed, the policeman laughed, and I laughed. The cop did not take my detector into custody. I told the girl that we should go out because we would have a great story to tell if anybody ever asked how we met. She declined. Naturally. The cop stayed and bent my ear for a while. He went to his car and got a Garrett CSI detector. It's a 250 with a new faceplate, I think. He told me he had used it for 10 hours and had never found anything but junk iron. I told him I'd be happy to give him a lesson and I showed him how to detune and pinpoint. He found 3 or 4 coins in 10 minutes and thanked me over and over. He asked if I would be willing to give a few of his fellow officers training, I said sure, and he took my number.
I detected for 5 hours. I am tired, sore, and sunburned. I ended up 7 coins short of my one day record. I could go out and beat easy peasy it but I will probably stay home. 223 coins. 600 plus coins for the week-end.
