Took a walk with my wife in park this evening.It was dark.I was dressed in woodland camo,carrying a boot knife,a asp baton and flashlight.Park is not safest environment to walk in at dusk.So I don't advertise myself with bright clothing etc and I take precautions.My wife says I'm paranoid,and I tell her just because she grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth.Anyhow she said she saw this person with a metal detector enter the park also.from the apartments we live in. We are walking the park and its getting pretty dark now.And we made a circuit of park,and there is a stream that runs through the park.And in the stream I see this guy setting up big big flashlight lanterns. shining in the water.So I get curious,and go over there,figure I would strike up a conversation with a fellow metal detectorist.Wrong its a teenage kid I'm guessing,in the water sifting the sediment with a food strainer.When and ask him what kind of detector he's got he becomes nervous,belligerent,and non talkative.And he keeps saying that he can be there the park is his.I got this much out of him ,he had a radio shack metal detector and he said it works. I did pick up what little that he spoke that he was mentally handicapped.I don't know what he thought he was doing,he was making himself very conspicuous there.What was he doing in park by himself with out adult supervision.He obviously didn't know about no metal detectorist being in the park digging.he had a dang shovel.But the kid had the wrong idea,in a wrong place to be at night.And I hope I don't hear about him in news tomorrow dead.I tried to warn him,as I walked away.AND where the hell was his parents?
