Just got into detecting again and got myself a Tesoro Vaquero, and my son a Compadre.
We went to a nearby park last weekend and found lots of pulltabs, clad, a bullet, keys, a token , and my first silver dime.
After my first silver Im excited to find more but dont want to get in trouble since Illinois requires permit for medal detecting.
I have a couple questions I hope some fellow Illinois-ians have experience with.
Can I email the dnr to get permissions or do I have to call?
If I was granted a permit.... how long will it be valid?
What about schools? They are public and paid with my tax dollars...am I allowed there?
Its sad.... theres nothing productive for kids to do anymore, Im trying to get my 10 year old son out of the house doing a hobby with me we both enjoy and all the regulations dont even allow it.
Any advice is appreciated!
