Similar situation happened to me earlier this afternoon. I was going to hit a rather small tot lot, more checking it for potential than actually doing a "serious" hunt. My wife, wonderful woman that she is, often goes along for the ride; sometimes to cheer me on, usually to tell me how rich we are becoming after I dig my latest pull-tab . 
As I'm pulling into the lot, I see another car, and think "crap, someone using the park". My wife then tells me that it is another MD'r. I walked up, keeping my distance, and saw him working in the wood chips with what I thought was a screw driver. I offered to get my digger, and he glared at me and said "this works just fine." The lot was small, so I wasn't about to compete with him. I told him about some luck I had at a park about half mile down the road. He grudgingly thanked me, but then told me he had already hunted the heck out of the place, and that he was surprised there was anything left. I won't say he was actually rude; but he certainly wasn't friendly.
I went back about 2 hours later, and still found another dollar in change. (this was a very small lot so I was actually pleased). My wife thinks instead of stealing the little kids lunch money, (tot lot) that he thought I was trying to steal his

! So now that counter is gone they can do what they want! Also this guy always having to outdo everyone. I have heard another person in a club say exactly the same thing! Or there is the guy who finds silver all the time, or an extreme amount of coins all the time, or a key date, or always reports a day that should be sent to a magazine... goes to show don't always believe what you hear or read! But hopefully it is just one or two on each forum, continued good luck and great point!
