Decided to hit a little area next to a sidewalk across from a YMCA. Was having a great time till a little old lady hobbled out and started shouting at me.
Old: "What are you doing!?!?"
Me: ....well i am metal detecting of course.
Old: You cant do that here!
Me: Actually this is City property and I believe I can detect here.
Old: I know it is city property but I pay a fortune to have it maintenanced
Me: Well you don't need to worry about that, I am very careful about the holes i dig. Infact if you look around you wont even see the 25 other holes i have done so far.
Old: Oh....well ok....what are you finding?
From here it turned into one of those times when you have the little kid following you around asking if you got something every time you stop for half a second. In fact I thought she might even get down and try to stick her hand in the hole like a lot of little kids try to do. After about 20 minutes of telling me about tearing down the previous house on the lot she got bored of the nails i was finding and wandered off.
Now when I say old I mean no disrespect to anyone that is not exactly young, But this lady must have been about 85-90.
Anyways I found a couple goodies. Not the silver I was hoping for, but I think my Machine is really getting ready to take a dump. Which would explain why I was having such problems.

Thanks Leon. Again no disrespect to age but if 85 or 90 personal opinion is you're burning daylight. When these types of situatins come up you either grab the brass ring or wish you had somewhere down the line later. Good luck and HH
A bit later I asked her about some of the other houses on the block that were still standing in their origanl form. She started telling me about one across the street, and I thought I might really get some good dirt on the place..... But then she says "and when we tored down that house we found a hotwater tub that was older than me".
