I ended up staying till about 9am, and once again attracted some attention from a "concerned" resident from across the street. He actually came over and asked if i was from the council and when I said no, asked why i was digging holes in the park. His attitude at first was a little pompous in my opinion, and didn't even take my offer to show him how the process of finding a target / digging it / replanting the plug works. I know i wouldn't approach someone with an attitude like he had, from my own residence, without knowing how the person he was approaching would react, or retaliate to what felt like an unprovoked attack on someone minding his own business. Each to their own i suppose. My patience is wearing thin with people like this tho, the next one i get may just get more than a nice reply offering to show what i am doing.
I didn't find any old coins today, but the few interesting bits and pieces, $13, couple old NZ coins, meeting another detectorist and the interesting chat i had with the local were well worth the early wake up ;) HH!
