This law has been effect since 1983, and I knew about it back then. But it only related to public land, federal and state. The state does require a permit to detect at the beach, but that's a different story, unless you are diving on an old wreck or recovering artifacts over 75 years old. But I just found out the law also applies to private property. On your own land in Oregon, it is illegal to knowingly dig an outhouse that is over 75 years old, unless you hire an achieologist to over see what you are doing. Yes sir, what ever happened to freedom in the good old US of A. I reckon the state cops best put a tail on me 24 - 7, on account of this is a law I won't obey. What part of private property don't they understand.
No wonder Portland is called Moscow on the Willamette. The news paper article is from the Medford news paper.
