Hey all,
I live in a small town here in Tennessee and I noticed that my local ball// soccer complex is owned by the city recreation department. I looked at the rules (on the city website) I didn't see anything about about metal detecting and also didn't see a city ordinance against it.
Its a fairly large complex with 2 soccer fields 2 softball and one baseball field. I am wanting to go detecting here.
Finally to my question: Should I just go and apologize if I run into the law.. after all it is public land and I live in the city.
or Should I get permission first. This being a small town I could see that an email or call might be answered with a prompt no..
I am leaning towards just going. Especially since its getting colder and I would be there in the off season. I make sure I never leave traces behind and throw all trash away.
