Metal Detecting Schools

[JmCraz8]

Should I ask permission from the principle? I'm only going to hunt it, on the weekends whens school is not in session. Is generally schools public property or should I ask permission?

A principle part of obtaining permission would be to talk to the principal.

Thanks everyone, just wanted to make sure before I go, I don't want to get in trouble

I've never asked and never been told to stop. I go when kids aren't there.

Ditto what BosnMate said....no problems. I have also hunted our local college campus (400 acres) with no problems, and with "Campus Security" driving by me and waving.
