visit from the police

[kenfleenor]

Hi all. I just got my medal detector last week and have been anxious to get out. Well tonight after work, it was still around 40 degrees, so I ventured out to an elementary school playground. Well. I was having a good time and all, found a few clad coins when about midnight the police show up. He was cool and all. evidentally the lady janitor called them and said I was making her nervous. So he told me I would have to leave because she was nervous. I said that is cool. He was like " just go somewhere else for the night, I know you aren't up to anything, but shes the boss of the schoolyard at night.

Anyway, it only took me a week to have the cops called on me. LOL

You did right...there are always other places to hunt...I would hit the school in the early morning hours like 4am til 5am...before the kiddies get there and before the lunch ladies show up...Better to walk away to hunt another day...

My 5yr old son and 6yr daughter go to a local school, I approached the principal the other day and she is drafting a letter on the official school letterhead so I am allowed to detect at night and on weekends! (cool). Apparently there has been graffiti attacks etc so security has been stepped up, and I'll need to produce the letter if needed. I am going to approach some other local schools in this area too, hope to get the OK from them as well. Live your dreams! HH regards Nugget.
