Gettysburg

[ghost]

I was getting cabin fever, so I decided to drive up to Gettysburg this morning. Took some pictures and had the whole battlefield to myself. Was tempted to take my detector out of my car but kept on seeing signs that posted no relic hunting. I knew that anyway. I should have asked some those home owners that live on the battlefield if I could check their property. Ground was frozen over anyway.

Also, remember just because you don't see them, doesn't mean that they don't see you. When I drove through Gettysburg, I witnessed 2 rangers setting up a spotting scope on Seminary Ridge. They had the entire field between them and The High Water Mark. Perhaps, they were looking for field mice?

Hey those are my best detectors. Lol
I live outside of cold harbor battle field. I know of someone who just had a machine in the car. He was arrested his machine was taken, there was a threat of taking his truck as well. He was also almost fired from his job due to where he works. IF IT IS PARK IT IS ILLEGAL TO BE ASSEMBLED!!!,

IMO ,Just having a MD in your car/ trunk is a stupid reason for you to get into any trouble
( tho I can see a ranger Questing you)
IMO -One should be arrested/ charged if you attempt to use your machine on the property.

Example , last year we went to visit some family in Tunnel Hill Ga , & I had my machine JIC.
And on the way home we stopped by the Chickamagua Battle field ( just for a short visit) & DEF, NOT TO HUNT.

Ill be Darned If they tried to charge me with a crime just for having the MD in my trunk.

Just my opinion.

There used to be metal detector dealers outside Chickamauga in Fort Oglethorpe. Johnny Rebs was his name. Major Hwy through the park and we travel it often hunting surrounding farms. But I agree I would not even stop in any park with one.
