I got out last Monday to a local public playground/park and had a guy pull up in a maintenence truck and told me I needed a permit he said he was the Borough Code enforcer and gave me his card. I was finishing up anyway and we had a talk, He said there was a person out the previous week digging up the ballfields and leaving ruts, etc. He had a valid point and I told him I only hunt tot-lots, benches and around trees, not on baseball diamonds or the middle of soccer fields. I'm going to the Borough hall my next day off and ask for a "Recreational metal detecting permit" ,They'll probably look at me like I have two heads. "Metal detecting prohibited" was not on the park rules sign. About 2 years ago I ran into this idiot at the same park hunting the tot lot, all he had was a cheap detetector and a brick hammer, no headphones, making noise and hacking up a tot-lot if you can believe it. He gave me some B.S. about how he found all the gold and silver and the Crown Jewels. If I see some idiot like this again, I'm not gonna be so polite. "comments please..."
