I'm looking to find out information about MD'ing in the parks and conservation lands that make up the Mass. Dept. of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). My first attempt was to contact the DCR and asked them what the rules are for using a metal detector (if some places are ok and others not?) The answer I got was one quick sentence "We don't allow digging, so therefore we don't allow metal detectors". I have a feeling that the person answering didn't want to be bothered with the question and fired off the response.
The only reason that I question the response, is that I have seen posts from people meeting up to detect within the DCR. Is this because they don't know the rules? Know but don't abide by them? Or (hopefully), it's ok in some areas?
Any information would be helpful.
Thanks,
Dan
