So I am brand new to MDing and will be getting my detector here soon in the mail. I have a few random questions.
1. My local park district allows permits to MD all the local parks, just not "uncut vegetation". Does this exclude creeks and or walking trails in the woods? Also, when you all hunt parks do you hunt the actual playing fields as well?
2. Speaking of parks, do you randomly hunt parks that are around without looking up rules on it. A lot dont specifically address MDing.
3. How often when at a school, lot, park, abandoned house with no evident owner etc. do cops show up? Has anyone in a non state park area been in serious trouble from detecting, like getting your stuff taken, or do they just tell you to leave? Speaking of abandoned houses with no apparent owner or anyone around, do you risk it?
4. There are a lot of farms around me, do random farm fields yield much? Also random woods with no evidence of houses having been on them?
5. As I am just getting into MDing my time is limited with family and work. I work nights at a hospital and watch my son during my days off as the wife works days. I also work every other weekend and the wife cherishes those weekends Im home. So, anyone, with permission, hunt at nights? How is that in regards to someone allowing you to hunt at night?
Thanks in advance. I ask because Im new, curious, and want to do what is right....oh and have fun doing it!
