The craziest thing you have ever been asked while detecting?

What is the craziest thing you have ever been asked while metal detecting? Like "Are you METAL DETECTING?, Have you ever found human bones?"....LOL like a bone is going to set off a high tone and give you a great # on your VDI... So whats yours? tell us what the craziest thing you have ever been asked while metal detecting??

From the land of the Bluenose.....did in fact find a dead guy while detecting...heard a crash and when Landmine Wade and I vacated the field to have a look he was dead. Motorcyclist who we found out later was dead of a heart attack before he hit the pavement.

Craziest thing...a gold tooth in bridework...fellow lost it while swimming...found it in 15 minutes!

that is one small target..LOL was he going to try to have it put back in?

Someone told me you cant put that (my metal detector) in water when I was in the water metal detecting. I looked at them and I got a signal. It was pretty funny. I think if it was getting a signal, it can go in water!!! Haven't really been asked much, I'm just asked what I found.

LOL couldn't have asked for a better tie to get a signal..

Are you looking for pennies, Did you lose some thing, Are you digging for dinosaur bones? My funniest experience was detecting a park and there was still snow on the ground and a guy was watching me detect an all of a sudden he comes running towards me yelling something carrying something in one hand and a knife in the other. So I quickly take my headphones of and I hear him yelling I found an old quarter. I thought he was just being stupid and at the same time I was nervous because he had a knife. Now they guy has made it over to me and he is yelling so loud that he is making a scene. He starts telling me to look its a real old quarter how much is it worth he just used his pocket knife to pry it out of a piece of ice hes telling me. So a little leary I rerach for the quarter and I see that its a new state quarter I started to laugh a little as I broke the news to em. Man he was so embarased it was to funny.

one time a lady at the beach asked me if my detecor was a uni-cycle!? I said no it is a metal detector and it find metal in the ground. Another time i was aked if it was to find fish??!?!?!? I said nicely, no. some people asked the weirdest questions.

I was detecting in front of a middle schol in my town and this older lady came out and asked " Are you spraying weed killer on the dandelions? cause i hate those darn things" Then i told her what i was doing then she did nothing but turn around and go back into her house.
