What a day! Got to meet the cops. - 11/14/2006 10:26:25 PM    Ace of spades   Posts: 184 Joined: 11/1/2006 Status: offline Goodevening everybody. So I decided to go probe a new area I have been scoping for sometime. I park the car grab my probe and shovel and start walking. I am walking the shore of georgian bay to get there, and I see this real old foundation of on my right. I go to check it out, find some good spots to dig, but before I start to dig I realize I am about a 1000ft from the spot that I wanted to check. So I start walking towards that area, it is real thick brush about 7 feet high, and then all of a sudden this guy jumps out in front of me, he cant be more then 4ft away, scares the F@#$ outta me, I back up and say " hey man I am just looking for bottles."  he doesn't say anything but "what are you doing." So I just keep walking and notice he has this little area set up, his tent is in a hole under a bunch of branches. You would never see it if he did not pop out. So I get outta that area and head back to my hole that I always dig. I gotta a couple of bottles then went home. I get home and tell my wife the story, she says to call the cops because the cops are looking for somebody in the bush. I call the cops and tell them my story. They send a cruiser out to try and find this guy, but they dont have a clue about were to go. They call me back and ask me to come meet them. I arrive and start explaining and pointing how to get there. They cant figure it out and ask me to show them how to get to him. I agree. 2 cops and me walking in the bush in the dark trying to find a guy in a tent that is hidden, It was crazy. All of a sudden behind us you hear "Can I help you?" They start yelling get on your knees, he does and they got the flashlights in his eyes, They question him and the one cop goes to find the tent. It is me and the "female cop" in the middle of the bush in the dark with this guy on his knees in front of us. I was scared that if something happenned nobody would be able to find us, it was her and I against him if it got crazy. So nothing happens, and the other cop returns. I can hear on the radio that he is clean, no warrants. So the cops let him be. And we walk out and go home. What a crazy day, I did get a nice ink well today, but I will start a new thread for that.

We get alot of tent people around here. They are usually harmless and always plastered. They will follow you around and point out every beer bottle they threw down. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to downeastdigger) Post #: 3
