We went to our normal hunting spot in a Chicago public park like any other day. Everything was cool.
I found a 1920 Merc, that is the end of my 71 day silver coin drought so I was happy.

I was detecting when I saw Goio saying something to me. I took off my headphones,
when I say a young guy maybe 16 - 20 years old throw a bottle at him. It missed him, but not by much.
The guy was like 15 feet away from us. I guess Goio was diging a plug when the first bottle came sailing
right passed his head. Everytime he threw a bottle he tried to rush up on us. He prolly thought we would
drop our detectors and he could run up and grab it. Well he got really close like 10 feet from me and whipped
another bottle at me, I saw it coming right for my head so I blocked it with my forearm. Just as before he tried
to rush me. This time I raised my shovel up and said "I'm gonna cut your %$&*@# head off!!!" well he took 1
step forward then ran off. He had another buddy off like 100 feet or so. Prolly ready to call his boys if anything
happened to him.

I wish I could of got my hands on him, I would of messed him up good. But my luck, he prolly is underage and I
would go to jail!!! He was whipping those bottels hard like he played baseball or some thing. The bottle that hit me
didn't blowup on impact, it bounced off. But now I have a big lump on my forearm, but that better than a broken
nose!!!! God I hate thiefs. The thing that bothers me most is that he tried to smash a bottle on Goios head when
he wasn't expecting it. Coward!!!! I atleast knew that a bottle was coming at me.

Oh yea, we still have all of our gear - he got nothing from us.

here are the pix that I took of todays hunt.

You should report it to the cops!
 
being a chick and carrying around all this stuff never know when a punk will come up and try to overtake me for it. :starwars:
 
keep an eye out while detecting for this type of thing. Also never go to the "bad side of town" without a buddy.
Glad your ok

ok for you both - for the most part. There's always some scum bag around to start trouble. WTG on the Merc, Steve in so az
 
There a few spots in St. Louis that I won't hunt at unless there at least 4 of us...and I always make sure we stay close together. By 2:00 in the afternoon...it's time to move on:rolleyes:
 
Praise God that you both are okay and still have your detecting equipment. There was an incident in one of the parks here many years ago and a man was robbed of his detector....rather it than getting hurt badly or his life! What was really something though is that one of the members of the club I used to belong to had a detector shop and had already heard of the detector being stolen and knew what to look for! Well lo and behold the thief came into his shop and tried to get money for it.....Jack kept the man there and had notified the police who knew about the situation and they got him, but don't know whatever happened to him! Really have to be careful while out :detecting: or even enjoying the park for jogging or ?, as a woman was attacked while running and was lucky enough to escape without harm! She informed the police who warned others and kept an eye open for the attacker! Women have to be especially careful and have a husband, friend or a gang round while outside! :sad:

Sorry world we live in because most morality and common sense has gone out the window or are out in the world causing sinning which causes harmfulness! Lord have mercy on Your children! Amen! :angel:

God Bless!

Thanks god for keeping us safe and thank you all for your comments. My arm is cut from the blunt force of the bottle & is sore but I am fine. We are going back to the park tomorrow, but in a populated part only. Where we were it was totally empty, we were the only ones there. But right in the next field it was packed with people watching a league baseball game. We couldn't find any cops, which is weird because usually they are all over the park on bikes, walking, and in squad cars. I am going to get some bear spray (its I guess 10 times worse than regular pepper spray) If I spray somebody with that, even if they are on drugs that will stop them long enough so we could get away. and it shoots up to 20 feet. When that guy hit me he was about 10 feet from me, so I could of got him.

Last night when I was trying to sleep I thought I should of grabbed one of the bottles for finger prints, but I smashed them with my shovel so he couldn't use them on us again. When we go tomorrow, we are going to report it to the first cop that we see, I hope it doesn't happen to anybody else, but I hope they will put a few cops in that section of the park.

I hope people will still go out and hunt, but just keep an eye & ear open to your surroundings.
