In new jersey,Yes!!! The hunters and quad riders/hikers etc use it also.Always check the area because it could be off limits to due hunting permits only or persevere land which means do not take anything of nature home.If you not sure call the town and ask them.

Thanks for the reply, it was the reference of "cornfield" that threw me off as up here if the field is tilled it's usually private land-meaning that somebody owns it and it's not public so permission would be needed.

Same applies for here in nj but there are many field that are not owned or abandoned or left for hunters or deers to eat away.

Just because a field isn't tilled doesn't mean it's not owned, you stated the field was a corn field so in fact it was worked, being worked is to have permission or ownership of the said land, and that alone requires a permission to hunt. Just because there's no signage, somebody living on, or if others are using it for game hunting, walking, trail riding, does not give me the right to assume that I'm welcome to dig for finds. If I don't own the property then I come to the simple logic somebody else does and until I know, and have that permission, I don't detect. Anything else just is wrong and it gives a lot of others that do the same (that gain permissions) a whole lot of heart ache as it puts us all in the same basket. That's the way I see it and to stop detect a field because it looks abandoned isn't the way it should be played, I can drive by hundreds of fields that have the characteristics as what you describe in a hour drive from my home and they're all privately owned. I find it really strange folks are just walking away from the lands and basically abandon them. Just in a 5 minute read about NJ it states the following: The spread of industry and housing since the late 20th century has cost New Jersey much of its farmland, which has become the most valuable per acre in the United States.
