Still waiting for my first detector....In the mean time, I've been looking for convenient places to get started and trying to learn as much as I can about anything MD. Ran across this earlier about a local county park less than 10 min. from my front door....
the commission:
•Voted to permit the use of metal detectors in county-owned parks. Before Tuesday's vote, park visitors were not permitted to use metal detectors out of concern they would dig holes and damage property.
Hutchinson told the commission he has seen how metal detector users tend to make only small impressions in the ground when they are alerted of possible items, and they replace the soil after looking for the object. He said he has had requests from people to be allowed to use the devices." I don't really have a problem with them doing that," Hutchinson said. "It's no different than a divot in a golf course. "The commission agreed to allow the use of metal detectors but if damage started becoming a problem, the ban could be reinstated.
This was voted on in 2013...Can't seem to find anything where it has been repealed...I'm sure I'll find out one way or the other if security shows up... LOL
