Here we go again with a person thinking they need a 100 page document to have permission. If you called the park department and they said they do not know then hunt it. I would not even have called them, that was your first mistake. It detecting is not allowed then it should be posted in the park somewhere. I'm just giving you some !!!!(LOL) but it seems like a lot of new detectorist think you need permission for every place on the face of the earth. If you start asking and the person doesn't know then they will probably give you a no. It is better sometimes to just hunt some public property and let them kick you off and just apologize for your mistake. The main focus is on making sure you leave it like you find it and cut a nice plug. This is just on public land NOT private. Hunt and have fun and do not worry about having permission for every little place. Good luck and HH.[/QUOT
"Here we go again" listen all we do is preach ethics of our hobby, in my opinion they did what is posted all the time , ASKED for permission.
