Drove around town for awhile yesterday looking for some places to detect. Got to the first place I was looking at (a lawyer's office) and got the green light. It's an old house and I was hoping something good but I think there had been some top soil brought in. Oldest coin was a '65 quarter. Altogether though, it wasn't bad. 25 coins for a total of a 1.50. Plenty of zincolns. Earlier in the day I had asked at the local animal hospital. The Dr. wasn't in but the receptionist said to ask when a red truck came back. So I did. Got permission. Unbeknownst to me she had asked the Dr. that doesn't own the house (There are two vets). I didn't dig one plug before the other one pulls up and yells "Hey there. You. Did you ask permission to be doing that?" I replied, "yes sir. I always do." "Who did you ask." he questioned. I told him that I had talked to someone inside who asked the other Dr. He said "put it back." So I turned off my detector. THen he said "no, the dirt. just put it back when you're done." I ended with, "always do." Just an awful exchange. I can't believe that someone wouldn't assume that I had asked permission if I was going to dig on their property. Always thought this guy was half decent. We take all our animals there, he co-sponsered my dad's softball team for three years, and his kids both went to my the pre-school that my mom is in charge of. Unreal. Well, I was really looking forward to at least the VERY SMALL front yard of that place. However, after he was short with me I just left. I don't want to be anywhere where someone isn't 100% excited about me being there and happy to have me find cool stuff on their property. I've met plenty of friendly landowners that are great about me being there. He just wasn't one of them. Made me put up my detector for the day I was so blah about it. Oh well. 25 coins and my best clad day of the short season. Sorry for the long post. Just had to vent.
