Well i was told i can metal detect on all general purpose state land, but i was also told I cant take any artifacts... by law artifacts are 100 years or older... they seem to think items dropped yesterday become artifacts.
I am trying to clear this up because if i do start detecting with their understanding that i know the rules and some archiologest tries yo say i cant take items that were dropped before 100 years are illegal i have plenty of evidence that its not the case... Or i will have them work with me to get a permit.
Also the gold mine i will be metaldetecting is right next to state historical park land so it will be nice to know as trespassing ok on the land i will be on. If i'm away from the buildings or a tourist reports this i don't need any hassles.
I know there are other people on this site that went through the same thing i am going through now so please chime in.
