Once as a kid I put one of my baby teeth into a cage trap as bait for the tooth fairy. Caught her during the night when she tried to exchange her coin for it. Tied a kite string around her ankle and let her go. Followed the string back to her lair and took the whole hoard of tooth money for myself. The tooth fairy was very upset but she couldn't do anything to stop me because she was the size of an insect and could barely throw acorns let alone pebbles larger than a few grams. This is why children no longer get money for their teeth, it's all mine now. 😁

Seems they could hide easier than Bigfoot so why not.

I've seen them all detecting the beaches of key west.....and south beach Miami !!

Nope, I never did.

Only after eating a half dozen psilocybin.

😅 That's what lets you see the world as it truly is and not this false sterile world we normally see (thanks to all those chem trails blocking our perception of the true whimsical reality).

One time after digging a nice 14 k ring as I looked my find over I started hearing a wired giggle then a bush began to shake. Finally I heard it- “where’s Me Gold?” There’ll be a killing if I don’t get me shilling”. I had to run for me life.

Don’t know about Wee Peeps but I’ve encountered a few Leprechauns. It’s why I carry a net. Ya capture one of the little bastards they have to turn over their treasure 😁

PS... gnomes and all that are just fairy tales... you should have asked about werewolves and vampires if you wanted some stories on this.

Start a thread. Also include banshees while your at it.

Whenever I dig a bean pot fragment or Dutch oven fragment at 12 inches that sounds just like a super deep copper, I curse the Pukwudgies for messing with me. The local Wampanoags tell stories of these mischievous little people of the woods. I swear I will hit it with my shovel if I ever see one.......unless it gives me some more of those special mushrooms.

Hi.
So a little over two years ago, my wife and I decided to buy my parents cottage and move here.
Last October, on the anniversary of my Dad passing away, I decided to try and find a set of keys he lost up here one year while up for deer hunting season.
Keys dropped in snow vanish like a fart in the wind!

Anyways, a bit of back story.
When I was a kid, I bought a small concrete Garden Gnome for pop's birthday.
Dad loved those Gnomes!
So when my parents bought this place decades ago, Dad planted an apple tree for mom and that particular Gnome became guardian of the tree.

Fast forward to last October.
I prefer to use my detectors at night.
I only have and use old analog detectors.
Preference.
Those old detectors are affected by the UV radiation from our Star and work better at night.
It was rather dark at around 10 pm.
I got my gear and put my headlight on and went out the door.
The apple tree is right by the door so the familiar Gnome greeted me with his blank stare. I headed down by dad's old deer blind and started detecting.
After finding about twenty spent .44 casings, I got the sixth sense feeling of being watched.
I've always trusted my instincts and my situational awareness, and they were screaming at me!
I turned on my headlight, which is a super bright LED.
I looked around and just couldn't see the source of what was making the hair on the back of my neck stand up!
Then in a silly moment of childhood stupidity cursed myself for being a doofus and went to turn around and my foot kicked something that wasn't there a minute ago.
I looked down..
Dad's Gnome was standing there in his typical defiant stance staring at me!
I nearly jumped out of my skin!

One of two things must have happened.
Either some smooth operator snuck up on me just to put the Gnome there, or the little bugger possessed by Dad's spirit followed me down there himself!

Miss you Pops!

Great story! I vote the Gnome followed you.
