Vent: The one customer who thought I was digging up buried treasure
Had a job last Tuesday out in Maplewood where I was running a new line under a front yard. The homeowner came out and asked if I was looking for old coins or something. I told him no, I was just burying cable, and he got real quiet and went back inside. Later he came out with a metal detector and started scanning the lawn while I worked. Took everything in me not to laugh. He didn't find anything but told me he "had a feeling" about that spot. Anyone else get folks who think we're up to something weird?

Gotta love when someone turns a cable burying job into their own personal treasure hunt. I bet that guy went back inside and watched a whole documentary on buried gold after you left. At least he didn't try to dig his own hole and hit your line.

Not gonna lie @tyler_hernandez, I'd be out there with a shovel too if I thought there was gold under my yard.
