The bad side of town here is the area between what we call the Stop-N-Rob and the Murdermart...
I only get to hunt it about once per year...thats very early in the am on a day when theres big wind, rain and sleet/snow...usually in November, right before the ground or chips freeze...didnt have the right conditions this year...it was warm, then BAM, real cold...and everything froze...anyway, its usually good hunting for clad/jewelry...BUT, a fellow cant stay in one spot long, must hunt fast, head on a swivel...if theres a cop sitting in his car nearby, that helps...Nice job Z!
glad you made it out alive and with all your gear!

There is a school that was torn down in my old home town and I wanted to detect there, but they found a man who lived near there beaten to death and I took that as my cue to look for safer places to detect. Having that in mind, the Bible tells us there is no safety in this world. Keep your eyes and ears open wherever you are. If you have a hunting buddy, that's even better. Stay safe, GL & HH & God bless.
When hunting in a 'bad' area, we appreciate the risks as mentioned above in this thread.
However, we must also be vigilant hunting our regular areas, where we are more likely to have our guard down because of our familiarity and comfort with those spots.
So many times watching the news I've seen crime reports that included the obligatory microphone-in-the-face of a resident proclaiming ". . .but it always seemed like such a nice neighborhood. I never thought of something like that happening HERE. . ."
During my years as a criminal defense attorney I've come to learn how many crimes are crimes of opportunity.
Listen to your inner voice. If you feel uncomfortable in a situation, get out.
having said that, this is a hobby, and it IS supposed to be fun. No need to be paranoid, just don't make yourself an easy target. Keep your head up and do a 360 before dropping down to dig a plug. Making eye contact with those nearby puts them on notice you are aware of their presence makes the baddies move on to an easier target.
HH and let's stay safe!
Cheers
