Treasure Hunting

Well folks, it’s just like the headline says, a Canadian man was arrested for metal detecting…

In a cemetery!

Around 8:00p.m. police received a call about a suspicious man in a cemetery. When they arrived, they found a man carrying a metal detector, a shovel, and several sentimental items covered in soil. There were fresh holes throughout the cemetery and one burial plaque had been dug around and damaged.

The 36 year old Canadian has been charged with mischief under $5,000, theft under $5,000 and possession of stolen property under $5,000.

Remember folks - Have fun out there, and respect the places you hunt. We don’t believe it’s ever a good idea to dig for gold in such a sacred place, and apparently neither does Canadian police officers.
