Hey guys,
So a couple of weeks ago, I went to the local library to do some research on my town in hopes of finding good places to metal detect. While there, I befriended an older lady that was there doing research as well. She is a member of the county historical commission and is also on the museum board of directors.
She told me she would try and get me permission to detect on a few places in the town. Just got a phone call from her and she said that I have permission to metal detect an old cemetery here in town from the 1800s where many confederate veterans are buried.
She got the approval of the City Manager, the Director of the Parks and Rec Dept. and the County Historical Commission.
Everything found would be presented to the County Historic Commission
Normally I would not seek out a cemetery to detect and I really didn't try to seek this one out, it just sort of came to me.
What do you guys think? Has anyone ever detected a cemetery? And if so, do you have any tips or advice?
