Howdy Folks!
I decided to do a little late night metal detecting so left the house around 10pm-ish. Travelled to a spot where I've found gold jewelry before, hoping to repeat that performance again. So I'm busily working my way to a coin when I am suddenly bathed in light. I glanced over my shoulder to discover an Aurora police officer has detected my presence. I turned off my metal detector and straighted up and walked toward the light
(Go to the light.... where have I heard that one before???)
Anyhow, he gave a real friendly greeting.
"How's it going? Having any luck?"
"Only a few coins so far." I replied. "But you'd be amazed at what I find."
He then proceded to ask if I had seen some nefarious activity going on at this location. Seems they have issues with kids getting on roofs and breaking out windows. I told him that I had not seen much, apart from a trio of youngsters, one of whom was on the roof, but nobody was breaking out windows. He thanked me for my time and left me to go back to detecting.
On the way home I stopped at 7-11 hoping to find a specific sort of munchie. 4 of Aurora's finest strolled in and set about to getting coffee and sandwiches. They were all real chatty as cops go, and friendly in demeanor. None mentioned the 1911 on my hip, and what they said to me was the general sort of light conversational stuff you'd get from anybody on the street.
All in all, quite the non-event.
In fact, the only noteworthy part of the night was that I found a silver ring (.925) to add to my pocket full of coins.
Blessings,
