Got out today

[free2Dtect]

I got out detecting today. Ran into a friend we both knew of a site and shared info. One a comdemned house the other one just torn down. I gave him a lift to get his equipment, and to detect the torn down one. We just got out of the car and were getting ready to detect. The house was an old brick one, but it was gone, nice black dirt the kind that looks tempting. Funny thing about the house is it was known as the BOTTLE HOUSE. The little old man decorated his whole yard with these pin wheels and twirling things and dodads all made from bottles and other junk items. When the wind blew his whole yard was in motion. The city was pushing to comdemn on the basis of it being a eye sore. City won but it took years. Back to the detecting story. We were just going to start and a car pulls up and asks what are you doing? I said we were going to detect the yard. The person said you can't do that. I found out they did not own the property even. He said there was one down the alley comdemned that we could detect. He didn't own that one either! So i figured if he could give permission to detect one he didn't own. I decided I'll just go night hunting here and if asked I'd say down the alley they said i could detect this one. What a day!

HI ,
So did you get to swing in the first yard at all. You should have told him that he was doing the same thing as U, minding your business......some people kill me...Later, WW

The guy in the car probably has a deetector and searchd the 2nd one but hadn't had a chance to detect the 1st one yet. Anywhosit have fun and HH. Know you'll keep us posted.

The man that ran you off has prob heard stories that the man that owned the house use to hide money and he just don't want anyone finding it if he can't.
I have ran into a few of them.
Or when turned down to hunt an old place ..Howmany times have you heard ..I'm going to get a MD and hunt it myself some day and then ask how much a MD cost
That might be a good one to tell someone if the man turning you down wasn't already 70+ years old.

If the city was condemning then place then he should have taken better care of it. Nothing wrong with night hunting. I see where you're coming from-by the time they check out your story you're already out of there and home cleaning yiur finds. Just be careful. HH and keep stirring the pot of right and wrong.

That was me in that car. Stay out of that damn yard, i got first dibs!

Guy claimed he was the nephew of the old guy, and i believe him, the city condemns places and it gets torn down at owners expense. Thats why the bad attitude.

You handled this thing the right way. You never know who you'll run into out there.

My son is a police detective and the horror stories he has to tell make one wake up to reality. Most of us never hear one tenth of what goes on in our towns.

Play it cool and I'd make sure I had a partner with me during those night hunts.

Have you ever considered a trained doberman?

Understood lonewolfe but the way she was talking the guy emptied each one of the bottles by himself. HAHA Sorry couldn't keep that one bottled up.

I keep a Kimber close by when things get bad. Don't have to clean up the droppings like with a big dog. Don't have the PMS so that isn't an option, not sure I would it if it was...lol. No one sees the Kimber unless it is really needed. Gives you a nice warm fuzzy feeling having it pressed to my side. .

Keep safe, it is a jungle out there.

This house was built by some guy who emptied all the bottles and built the house with his own 2 hands too! It's now a museum since he sold it to the city 10 or 15 years ago before his end. I've been inside of it and read the whole story behind it
