Whovtakes charge of curb strips

So a small town one town over from mine has some great curb strips, but what town department would I approach for permission to detect? Would they be under the highway dept, parks and cemetaries, or do I just talk to the police in this case?

I would check tax maps at the town or village clerk.

Might show whether the property owner actually owns the strip.

Just go and detect for gods sake ! If you get tossed say you’re sorry and leave .

It’s one of those things where people probably don’t really own that strip but they think they do since they have to mow it and maintain it. Depends on the area, but if it looks like well manicured lawn I would probably pass and go onto the next one that’s not as well kept. Also I would probably not detect a strip that has cars parked right next to it in front of someone’s house just because if they look out and see you crouched next to their car it might look suspicious and they would definitely come out and confront you and be in a mood which you don’t want. That being said, curb strips in the right area can produce an awful lot of nice silver coins in my experience.
