Went metal detecting in our county seat town hitting the side walks and parks. Was having a enjoyable day until I wondered too far into a grassy area of the county 911 building. A lady comes out carrying her cell phone and runs to my truck and takes a photo of my license plate then she approaches me asking me "Can I help you?". I told her I was just out enjoying my hobby of metal detecting and she immediately says "You are trespassing and need to leave!". I told her I thought there was nothing wrong with metal detecting on tax payers county property (I being a tax payer of the county) and that I had been metal detecting all day on the streets. She proceeded to lie telling me it was not county property even though I checked the property data of the area before I started and knew it was. I didn't argue with her and just moved on. I've been waiting for the sheriff to come to my house since she did take a photo of my license plate but so far they haven't. Some people can really make a good day of metal detecting turn bad. I'm going to check with the county clerk about getting a permit before going back.
