Hello-
I just check out the garage sale recently and noticed that few metal detectors (Garrett and Whites) to sell. I asked the owner about why they sell it. He said "Before I read the treasure hunter magazine and I think that is pretty cool, then I purchased the metal detector and now, I can't find anywhere to do with it for not work out the permit. It is very toughest now!"
He give me the notebook and I read it...
Visited many history old houses on the private property - NO
Visited several Civil War battlefield sites - NO
Asked several private property by the Civil War battlefield sites - NO
Visited several city park - the city hall said NO
Asked the permit to use the high school football stadium - the school office said NO
Asked the permit to use on the high school and college campus, the office said NO
Visited the old houses torn down and clean up the site, the owner said NO
The biggest lake, the metal detectors are allowed only in the area shaded, just like 300 by 400 feet at the swim beach only, not allow to do anywhere by the lake. If you get the items as value of 25 dollars or more, must be turned in to a park ranger or the project office.
Hmm, I believe that somebody did the metal detectors on the field or park before, I mean, they dig the hole and found the item, then they didn't put the dirt back to the hole or look ugly as look bad spot, cause the owners were angry to see the mess on the field or park. Other things, some owners were very upset, if the person permit to do the metal detector on the field, then they find some value items on the property and sell to the pawn shop.
You know last ten or twenty years ago, you guys were lucky to do with metal detectors on any field you want, then today, it start to change and very strictly, then next ten or twenty years later, it might be very hard to find the place for use the metal detector!
