[QUOTE="Daggy, post: 327329, member: 9035"] Me and a mate were out detecting an old cricket pitch next to the local hall today and got abused by a local cane farmer who is the president of the hall committee. We were having a great time, I found my first florin and my oldest coin yet, an 1879 three pence. Pat (my mate) found four nice silvers and some interesting artifacts. About beer o'clock 2pm Pat heard some bloke yelling. I couldn't hear anything but threshold noise until he was a couple of meters away. What happened next was a very heated conversation with the old d""khead trying to tell us that we were ruining the hall grounds and me trying to tell him to show me where I'd dug but he wouldn't stop yelling and listen to anything we were saying. In the end, Pat's Italian passion kicked in and the old bloke thought he'd better back off. I told him to call the police but he refused to do that and instead threatened to go for backup. We made a point of swinging for the next hour while he circled us in his vehicle to try to intimidate us. We will be back to go over the rest of the area in the not too distant future. Has anyone else had problems with people on state land before? Even the old mayor "Ray Duffy" told me that "it's council land and no one can stop you from using it as it's a recreation reserve". Any advice on legality's or how to deal with ranting idiots are welcome. Daggy [/QUOTE]
