I stopped today and got permission to detect the grounds keepers home at a local cemetery that was started in 1834.
All found was a couple of wheats so I decided to knock on the door and tell him thanks before I headed home. When I did he suggested I go out and try in his back yard,The Cemetery. I told him i wouldn't feel comfortable detecting there, but thanks anyway. Then he suggested just do along the narrow roads then. So I walked out there with him and saw that there was about 6 feet of unoccupied ground along the road. Long story short. I Walked 15 feet along the road. dug 2 wheats in one hole ( a 1920 & 1911) and then got an 1898 Barber quarter at 10". It was getting dark so I left.
So, here is the Question, would you detect in a cemetery if the guy in charge not only said it was ok, but was pushing you to do it.
