So while the earth is frozen to the core this week, I've been spending some time on maps planning out my spring. I happened across a very large piece of property that had two home sites in the late 1800s. The area appears to have lost a bridge over a creek in the early 1900s, and the whole area seems to have been abandoned. It's all wooded now, not maintained at all. From what I can tell it's been wooded and growing now for a good 50 years.
Checked it out on auditors website, and it turns out it is all owned by the City! Yes! City Property!!! But here's the catch. . . when you drive by the area, the trees are just RIDDLED with "NO HUNTING" and "NO TRESPASSING" signs.
I feel like this was done because of hunters. And feel like there's a chance that just detecting could be permitted.
So. . . what would you do? Obviously I need to get permission from the City or Park Department. Would you write a letter? Would you call them? Visit their offices in person?
Anyone have any similar scenarios?
