Thanks for the laugh Mud-puppy I really needed one this morning .
Some old Lady up here in my little town was found dead out in her backyard this past week, out in the snow...All the neighbors and cops said she was a real screaming swearing troublemaker..always looking out the window and running out to bust everybodys balz, calling the cops on her neighbors for some sort of infraction, leaf blowing, grass cutting, kids making too much noise, dogs barking, you name it......you know the kind, Neighborhood WatchWitch...theres one on every block...pretty common, hates everybody and completely insane...
Anyway, her neighbor, some old Man who had no criminal record other than a speeding ticket, Looks like Santa Clause or Grandpa Walton..even...gentle old guy,...evidently didnt know how to plow his driveway right or something, snow was pushing over onto hers or some damn thing......So out she comes to give him hell once again for about the umpteenth time, screaming right up in his face like she got away with for so many years before....He just couldnt take it anymore I guess, caught him on a bad day, up in his face all swearing, and stabbing at his nose with her finger...Peaceful old guy snapped...So he impulsively killed her dead and left her body out in the snow bank, probably punched her teeth right through the back of her head......as far as I know, he's not a detectorist....
This should be a warning to all the old crazies out there, peeping out their windows looking for somebody to bust on...not that they will take heed and settle down a bit..but damn! chill! That old curbstripping b'tard aint hurting anything! ...Old men can only be pushed so far....I dont know what leads people to this advanced stage of insanity to bumrush an Old Man and dish out hell with no thought to their own safety?? ? Cats?
Silver lining to this whole tragedy?? At least the neighborhood can shoot off fireworks on New Years Eve at Midnight, and the curbstrip in front of her house is fair game ...I hope I get called up for Jury Duty on this one! Not Guilty!

Hunting in front of someone's home without asking permission is just wrong. Even if it's City property.
.... he said lets just move on to another spot, i said ok , well we hunted a few blocks up the road, a cop came, and talked to us, than he left to tell the old man it was legal , ....
Your kidding, put me in your will, as your asking for it, shot , robbed either, by a robber, or cop that thinks you might have a weapon instead of a detector, i do the beach at night, but not side walk strips
This is exactly why I do 90% of md'ing at night nowadays. NOT because I think I'm doing anything wrong, but ONLY because I've learned that .... in this hobby which has ... uh ... connotations, that you are NOT going to please every last person on earth. Sometimes in this life you just avoid spitting in people's holy water. Instead of trying to convince them "the water isn't really holy"
