So, here I am driving through the decommissioned section of Fort Devens. There is this really nice field in the middle of this area. It was an early WWI staging area, and no doubt has seen its share of parades, drills, and general chicanery since the early 1900's.
I noticed a sign on the side of the park that I figured would give some additional history to the park (all 44 acres of it). At the very bottom of the sign I see the most dreaded words of all...
"National Registry of Historic Places"
Looks like I won't be detecting there.
Anyone familiar with Devens? Who do you talk to about detecting the area that is not Rogers Field? I can't figure out if the open land belongs to the state or to the town of Ayer. There are lots of curb strips in front of abandoned buildings. The building all have "No Trespassing - State Property" signs on them.
