Starting to get frustrated with northern Il. I spent the morning calling and talking with individual towns and counties checking on MD ordinances. Every county forestpreserve Lake, Kane, Dupage, Will, Cook, Mchenry etc do not allow metal detecting. We live in the suburbs the reason its called a preserve is it is the only older non fill areas around. Out of 23 cities the majority had no ordinances but 5 said you can metal detect but no digging or removing items. So I stopped calling cause that answer peaved me off. Don't bs around it like that, just ban metal detecting or would it look too much like banning a simple hobby.
