I found a park in a nearby town that looks very promising. I always check the city codes just to cover my butt. This is the first time I have ever found anything written into a city's code about metal detecting. I was surprised because I have not seen anything in any of the other small towns around here regarding metal detection. Here is the law directly from their code of ordinances:
47.07 PUBLIC PROPERTY. No person shall in any manner deface, injure or remove any
tree, shrub or plant standing or growing in a City or public park or pick or destroy flowers or
seeds growing therein. No person shall cut or remove any wood, turf, grass, soil, rock, sand or
gravel from any City or public park without permission of the Park Commission. No metal
detectors shall be allowed in any City or public park.
What a bunch of BS. I was really looking forward to giving this park a try and now I am just ticked off. Sorry, had to vent.
