Update on school.....

Got there bright and early this morning.what a nice day...I was planing on hunting it hard today. There was the usual noise...electrical noises....very hard to detect but managable...found few pieces of scrap iron...some sort of reed thing....2 shallow dimes....and then a silver chain and sterling St.Christepher metal....it feels heavy....then I got a quiet silver coin hit again like the other day...this time I upped the gain from 7 to 8 and what a diff. it made. I could hear it alot better...7 was a whisper to me...dug about 5 or so inches and hit lots of rocks in my way....I was getting in to it trying to pry the big one out when I looked up and met the eyes of a police officer....Hi :wave: he said I can't dig for treasure on city property....I told him I looked it up on internet and state law says I can hunt public schools and playgrounds and parks.....and he said " I don't know where you got your info but there is no digging on city property....and he even offered to give me a summons if I wanted to contest it.....WHAT A NICE GUY!!!!!I declined his offer cause I really want to protect my investment in my Treasure hunting equipment. I have never had this happen to me before in a school yard..esspecialy one that is boarded up......In Maine an officer actually was very interested and asked me lots of question about it and said good luck and left me be.....I am baffled...needless to say I never recovered the silver coin....:rage:
 
especially a boarded up school...who cares...it will probably be bulldozed soon enough for more shopping or parking...that kind of stuff burns me up beyond what I can post here...HH
 
School property is owned by the school board.............Now they may have sold it to the city and that would make a difference.
If I were you I would ask the Mayor if it's so and see what he says...........Some officers over step their bounds only because they do not know where it stops.
I am not suggesting you cause a lot of problems and become arrested just to prove a point..but he could be wrong.....IT WILL NOT HURT TO MAKE A CALL !!!
 
you need to have James ND, park his van in this park; I hear mindless, stupid, animals seem to have a bazaar, magnetic attraction to it and like to beat their skulls against it. :wiggle:
 
Aaahhhh Mattockman,
Sorry to hear what happened ...

Happy to see you got such a nice St Christopher medal though!:cool:
