I was detecting a rather small Dekalb County park. Had one totlot, a few trails, one nice open to anyone (not locked) baseball field and one basket ball court.
I parked near the totlot, hunted it and then moved downhill to the basketball court and hunted it. Came back to the car and found a county parks truck parked by me. oh no some Karen must have called. I went over to his driver side and introduced myself and told him what I was doing, hunting the totlot and basketball court but not the baseball field.
We chatted and he said I could hunt the dirt part of the field and dig and cover holes since they dragged that every week. Plus he said I could hunt the grass in the outfield, but only for recent drops, no digging. Well that was pretty nice. He then said a church leased the field for kickball once a week in the evening and that I should hunt it for recent drops the follwing day since the kickball players wore lots of bling.
a prince of a guy.
No need to ask the county desk jockies, the guys in the field working outside seem to be nicer and more agreeable to this hobby.
Plus he gave me the same permissions in two other county parks. This is the second time in that county (that states on its park's web site "no metal detecting allowed").
