Well, it finally happened and I'm quite surprised it took so long. I've been detecting about 5 years now and today had an officer roll up on me investigating a "911 call".
I was out hitting some curbstrips in the hoity-toity historic district of town. I dug a couple impeccable plugs in front of the entrance to a house (even though the grass was in not so great shape), chasing ghost signals and zincs giving beautiful silver signals after the rains, then walked a few houses down.
The officer said someone reported that I was "going in people's yards" I said I never go in yards without permission and was only doing the curbstrips. He said ok and left.
The thing that gets me is that someone would call 911 and lie!
I feel more like a veteran detectorist now that I can say that I've had someone call the cops on me,
