anyone here around the knoxville area??
See if your area has a Park and Rec website, usually the regulations are posted there. Most city parks and public schools are fine for detecting.I'm located in Crossville and have been looking around this area without to much luck. Have even taken advice of others on the forums and posted ads on www.golsn.com. That got a few hits for people into MD as a hobby and one hit for a place to detect. However without a club or organization behind me I just sound like some schmo that wants to dig up there yard....lol
I can't even get a straight answer as to where I can detect on public land without problems. Some people say county parks and school track and football field is fair game. Not even sure who to check with to verify this.
I've never heard of anyone actually getting "in trouble" for detecting a city park or school, the most they'd do is say to leave, but that's not too likely. If the site isn't registered as a National HIstorical site, I'd just do it--it's your park and school.I have checked the parks and rec site...lol its a joke. The area I live in is kinda back woods and 3/4 of the citys web sire has been under construction for the past 2 years. I sent an email to the email address listed on the site for info but no response yet. Just a little leery to take a chance without knowing and end up in trouble.
