Hello!
I have not posted much of anything lately. I have been on posting hiatus, although I have been detecting regularly for the last few months. I started a new job, yadda yadda yadda, and I get behind in posting. There will be a catchup post coming soon, BUT, there is something that I just had to address right now and this very minute.
There is a new detector in a few of my regular areas. I know they are new, or inexperienced, or just plain stupid, because of their style, or lack thereof.
I am no detecting god, or anything. I barely pass the grade
I have dug some ugly plugs in my day, but this loser takes the cake. I came across a park in Madison, just across the street from an elementary school on University st., and I spent a MINIMUM of 45 minutes just cleaning up some moron's holes! 
The sod was UPSIDE DOWN!?? and was about the diameter of a pizza pan? Oh, to add insult to injury, the pulltabs/foil/trash/etc was just sitting on the ground next to the holes.
I laughed it off, after I found a ring, and 3$ in clad RIGHT NEXT to the bum's holes. I decided to hit another park up the street a ways, and found the SAME HOLES! Trash and all! I was furious! Whomever is detecting in that area that is new (I assumed that they wouldn't be on this website, as most people old and new are at least versed in the basics of plugs) I hope you find a mentor, or some sense, as this looks TERRIBLE for our hobby, and I was physically embarassed at your total lack of tact in cleaning up your mess. You are supposed to leave the park in BETTER shape than you found it, not make it look like a cheezy slasher flick.
Sorry to sound off everyone, but this was bad. If I had my camera with me, and taken pics, it would have made you sick to your stomach. I didnt want to have to be the one to do it, but I fixed each of the 30+ hotes as best I could...
Thanks for listening.
