I had a detect at a school yesterday and lost my probe, I spent a good 20 minutes looking for it, the probe is a motorbike spoke with an alloy handle so not difficult to replace but I thought what if some innocent child somehow fell on it and was injured or the probe was thrown and blinded someone, whatever the scenario I would have been partly responsible.
Holes are just as important to me, I always cut a circular plug, leave a flap so it looks pretty much invisible when I'm finished. Hate to think someone tripped or whatever. Better to be safe than sorry.
The unfortunate thing is that the people responsible give the good ones a bad name and I doubt they care. It's not just the parks, I've seen huge holes at the beach and also at fossicking areas in the river banks.
We try to be invisible so how do we get the message out that it's not ok and if we do will it sink in?
It is very rare for me to find others plugs and I would hope that the same can be said for mine, so to the person who dug plugs at the park down the road from the main Mornington park almost a year ago.... Well done plugs were complete circles so the grass died but you could see there was pride and consideration in their work. To the person who recently attempted to dig bomb shelters next to KVC shame on you, you need a swift kick up the rear end! Putting that on here and out to the universe may not do much but that's still better than nothing.
Permission is a funny one, just because you have permission doesn't mean the next person does, even though you have been responsible from the get go doesn't stop the finger being pointed if there is a problem.
