I called and asked our parks dept. if metal detecting was allowed. I saw no signs, but the lady on the phone says no, not anymore. I asked why and was told they used to, but some bad apples left holes uncovered and ruined it for everyone else. She made me an offer to speak with the parks director and I accepted. It was a polite conversation that went back and forth. He asked if I found a $100 coin would I give it back? I said that was a little unrealistic. He said they don't allow anyone to conduct business in the parks and make money, and I would be making money in the park. I said yea maybe a small amount but I'm not billing and no one is actually paying me. Kind of silly right? Anyway he said give him a chance to think and talk about it the rest of the week. Then to call him early next week and we can have a chat about it. I threw out the idea of possibly making permits available. I think that would cut out some of the bad apples. Anyway, anyone have any ideas or experience about this.
