It was -13 the other day and we got over a foot of snow...so detecting is off the docket.
Chris Digger_O'Dell told a funny story today about the police interrupting his frozen water hunt.

So I was wondering if others had police involved with their hunts. I know I have.
My fav run-in was showing up at a local school to find 12 state troopers surrounding the building. As soon as I saw them I turned around to head out. I figured there was a break-in and they didn't need me around detecting. 3 cars put their lights on and stopped me. License and reg handed over. They asked what I was doing there and I told them I was going to detect. After 10 min the officer told me my "friend was in the back" and that I could carry on detecting. I asked him what he meant...he said there was ANOTHER DETECTORIST behind the school (who was giving the police trouble) and they thought I was his friend! One of the few detectorists I've ever encountered at a site. I just took off.
You folks have stories?
