I just remembered this one I posted in 2013... It actually happened around this time of the year..
Last night dark out,7:30, middle of my friends front yard, Toledo, close city lots...
I was just flipping a huge frozen plug, as she pulled into her drive..
Her headlights made a huge shadow from my plug..lol..
As she opens her car door I say a friendly, "Hello"....
She looks angry... She asks, "what are you DOING!?"
I smile and said, "metal detecting"
She said, "Oh no you're NOT!" I smile and point at the house that is in the yard I am detecting and say, "I know Jason..." She said.. I don't care, I'm calling the police!!"
LoL, So Jason comes out of his house, and assures her that he knows me, and is fine with me MDing..
She said "I don't care WHO YOU ARE! Get away from MY PROPERTY!! (he was still in his yard) I have CHILDREN!! I'm calling the police!!" And she stormed into the house...
I could hear her on the phone "Um yes, there are two guys in front of my house digging, with flashlights, could you please send someone, please, RIGHT AWAY!!" Then she storms out of her house just long enough to say, "Just so you know, the police are on the way" I said. "Good, I hope they take YOU AWAY!!!" LOL!
So 20 minutes later, two cars pull up, they get out, I say "Hello" they asked "What is going on here" I told them what happened, the one officer asked "who lives here?" I pointed at my buddy and said "Him" they almost cracked up. They looked at each other and then back at us and then the one said, "well you guys are well within your rights here, what is her problem?" My buddy said, that is only the second time in two years that she has said anything to him.. Then they started asking about my ATP, "Does that thing work good? How deep? Etc..." Then the one said "Well good luck fellas, I guess we will head over and get her take.." I thanked them, and nothing else became of it... I thought it was funny, turns out, her kids are around 14 and 19 and don't even live there, and she doesn't either, she just stops in to check on her mental brother that lives there...
If it was summer time, we would still have had at least, 2 1/2 hours of sunshine..
All types, folks, all types...
