And I am not being sarcastic either!!
Well I have talked to the local police in Thomaston and Rockland about using a metal detector on public land. No problems whatsoever. My wife advised me for the town of Rockport I really should ask since some residents there and in Camden tend to be stuck up types. So I called the town office for Rockport. They were unaware of any laws against metal detecting on public land, but said to contact the police dept. So i did and he said "Why would it be illegal?" I told him I just wanted to make sure. He thanked me for calling. I still have to call about Camden, but I figure it won't be a problem there either.
I just want to cover my bases. I had one guy who said he was going to the police because I was ruining public land. nothing came of it cause I was doing nothing wrong. (Police didn't even show up) In a twisted way I hope I get others to do the same thing. I will calmly tell them I am doing nothing illegal. Even if an officer shows up I can show him or her I am being responsible (filling my holes) more than likely they would be more interested in what I have found.
