Got up the nerve to go to the local park yesterday.
I'm shy and nervous about digging in public, but I needn't have worried. Overcast and cool, only a couple of kids and their adult units.
Wound up talking to a guy who has a very historic property, where a VERY historically significant local woman was born, and he said there's a dump next to it from the 1800's. Said I'm welcome to detect- hopefully that will happen!
Wound up digging the usual junk, but also surrounded by little tykes fascinated by what I was doing- they all wanted to dig and use the carrot, rather than use the playground! What is the appeal of digging in dirt?
The other bonus? Handed out some business cards, and practiced my turf digging technique!
