I was hunting a school in SoCal one time and this superintendent walked up and said, " Oh my god!! You're not going to dig up my beautiful lawn are you?"
I showed him my tools ( a couple of screwdrivers ) and replied, " Well I've been here for about 45 minutes hunting this area we're standing in, do you see any gaping holes in your lawn."
He walked back over the area I had just hunted, returned and said, " I don't see a thing, hunt on and come back anytime."
Seems he had some guys in there before who left the place looking like a battlefield. I've never understood why people have to dig a gaping hole to recover something as small as a coin. I had a park attendant take me around his park one time and show me holes two feet in diameter left by idiot beeper swingers. It blew my mind
Watched a guy with three small kids ( each armed with a shovel ) enter a school grounds and the guy ( who didn't know squat about detecting ) would wave his detector over the ground and with each signal the kids were ordered to dig. Fortunately they didn't stay long as the idiot found nothing, and me and my partner repaired the damage. It's these kinds of insensitive, disrespectful, goons - that make it bad for the rest of us. I still very rarely use any kind of digging tool.
