The other day i posted this:
I asked about detecting at the county fairgrounds. The people there were friendly, but said to talk to a member of the county commission. So i talked to her secretary. Next day the secretary was nice enough to call me back...but she said detecting is not allowed on any county property. So that'd mean the schools are off limits. I didn't mind the fairgrounds so bad, but i've hunted the schools in the past. Would make one wonder if it's sometimes better to ask forgiveness than permission at least with the county government.
Someone posted "are you sure the secretary was right."
So, today i went to the courthouse and asked to talk to the county commissions administrative assistant. I had to talk to her secretary again, but i said is there an ordnance that says you can't hunt on county property? She said she didn't know, she'd have to ask the administrative assistant....but she was on the phone. When she finally got off the phone, the secretary went in to the admin Assist, and i followed her in, and asked her myself, is there an ordnance that prohibits Metal detecting on county property. She said no, but if the commission says it's illegal you can't do it. She gave the excuse about the underground wires at the courthouse lawn and the fairgrounds. I can understand the courthouse lawn, but the fairgrounds is acres and acres, can't believe there's underground wires everywhere. But i did at least find out that the schools don't come under the commission's jurisdiction. She said to ask the Board of education about the schools. I'm not about to do that. I'll just go. And as far as that Administrative Assistant...she happens to be running for the county commission. I'll be sure to vote against her...because i didn't like how she said "if the commission says it's illegal, you can't do it."
I did get the phone numbers of the actual commissioners. I didn't recognize any of the three names. I'll have to ask around to find out who's the nicest one, then call and ask about the fairgrounds. I'll update later.
