I was surprised to learn that some people have no idea how a metal detector works and what it can and CAN NOT do.
I was recently approached about detecting a large park in search of a container with a list of 22,000 names of Floridians killed during WWII. It was buried when this park was dedicated in the 20s. (Why was it buried?). They want to use it for a Veterans Day celebration.
I explained they would need to provide me written permission to hunt this park. Also because I thought this was a government group asking, I wanted protection in the event there might be any damages since I was going to ask for volunteers to help since it’s a large park.
Well it seems they thought I could walk around and see objects underground with my machine (see letter).
Well this helps me understand how to explain what we do better when asking for permissions.
