<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gacoinz, post: 149899, member: 6114&quot;]Well, couldn&#039;t stand it anymore, so this afternoon, charged up my batteries and took off to the neighboring town to see if I could find anything on the site where those old houses had been torn down.&nbsp; I asked a local guy who I saw in the area who the property belonged to and he said the city had condemned the property so since it was public property, I proceeded to start detecting.&nbsp; Found my first ever Indian cent, but it&#039;s so corroded that I&#039;m not sure if I&#039;ll ever be able to make out a date on it.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s soakin right now in some mineral oil.&nbsp; Found a couple of wheaties from the 40&#039;s and a few clad coins and of course, several Memorial cents.&nbsp; Then a cop came up and wanted to know what I was doing.&nbsp; I told him I was looking for old coins and he asked who I worked for.&nbsp; I told him myself and he asked did I have permission to be there and I told him that since it was city property that I didn&#039;t feel I had to have permission.&nbsp; He came up with some excuse about that area had been a drug area and crack houses and prostitutes and I didn&#039;t need to be there and for me to leave.&nbsp; Rather than cause a scene I told him that I&#039;d check with the mayor on Monday and see about getting permission to hunt there as it&#039;s an extremely old site and once something gets built there that there won&#039;t ever be a chance to look there again.&nbsp; All the crime in the world and the guy wants to bother someone innocently looking for a few old coins.&nbsp; Good grief![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
