Alright....Who Did This?

[garren]

Me and my hunting buddies rarely hunt parks but today we were tutoring a new detectorist. We went to an out of the way area of a very old nearby park. I ended up getting a signal and when I dug down I hit a large flat rock. I checked the hole and the signal was still there. I pulled the rock out and underneath was a newish Craftsman work glove. It was all wet and muddy from recent rains...yuk...so I flicked it out of the hole and re-checked it. Now I have no signal so I check the glove and the detector goes off. I was pretty sure these work gloves didn't have metal buckles so I get out the Garrett Pro-Pointer. I give the glove a once over and it's the index finger giving me the signal. For a brief moment I got excited thinking maybe someone pulled the glove off and the ring they were wearing stayed inside...but then I thought what if the finger is in there with it? I reluctantly squeeze the index finger and, luckily, don't feel a bone but do feel something round. Now I'm excited again so I turn it up and shake it out. A modern quarter falls out! What? Who puts a modern quarter in the index finger of a glove, places it in a hole, caps it with a flat rock and buries it? ... I can think of a few guys that might have thought this would be funny....I'm guessing some wise guy detectorist realized he had lost a glove and thought to himself "hmmm what to do with this, now useless, left hand work glove?"

haha...who knows? The things we dig up!

Sounds like a crime scene to me... O.J. maybe

 

[DocBeav]

Maybe someone here will cop to it!

At least it wasnt in the middle finger!

Dang, that certainly sounds like an Intentional act. I do believe we have a real live mystery on our hands.

LOL...I was thinking the same thing...I would rather get a quarter from an index finger than a bird from the middle finger!

That is hilarious. Nice glove man, life time warranty there.

There are a few T hunters that I know that wouldn't even have to think twice about doing something like that. One of the names rhymes with Frito's

That might explain what happened to the other glove. When nature calls, he's been known to sacrifice articles of clothing for wiping material...

or worse yet...he might have taken the clean one home.

Yeppers! I can remember seeing one the Garrett Gimme ponchos hanging in a tree down at Kimbell Bend that had brown looking stuff that resembled Frito Pie smeared all over it.

That's kinda messed up...... But it is funny .

Hey, I was right with you until you mentioned the possibility of a finger still in the glove garren!

Hilarious post! Thanks for sharing that story with us.

I remember years ago reading a post here on Tnet where a guy knew where his buddy Scott detected. He engraved a token with "Scott is a H@M@" on it and buried it. Sure enough his buddy Scott eventually found it.
You got to have a sense of humor in life.

Now that's funny right there!

 

[unclemac]

could it be one of those GPS "caches"...i have run into those before...but not buried....

 

[mohawkman4081]

Would have been even funnier if it was a penney in the middle finger.

I have heard some disgusting stories about what some people have done in areas searched for gold nuggets, they will defecate in a hole and then throw a nickel in so you dig thinking there is a nugget and sure enough there is, but not the kind you were hoping for.

Another good reason to glove up.
