    And once again that park is a little bit cleaner. All good finds but that dime looks really good even with the dirt on it.

    I had a little bad incident with an older lady (Karen) early in the morning. She asked me if I was supposed to be detecting in the wooded area I was in because there was a fence. I pointed out to her that it was an old fence and that it was open on both sides. Also I told her a had a permit from the parks department and that I've been following the rules for 14 years. She blurted some other craziness out so I told her to relax because high blood pressure kills. She didn't like that I told her that and she called me an a**h*** :(
    Then I told her she shouldn't say things like that. I also said "God loves you and you shouldn't curse at God's children which I am one of" she was furious and walked away :hilarious:
