It would figure you would get Large Cents next door to a police station. ITS LOADED WITH COPPERS

Man oh man... that's pretty good... lol

Man, great work coinnut! I would take large cents over mercs ad barbers any day. I wish we had those things in our parks out west!! That's just awesome thumbsup01

As for permission for public parks, I've always found leaving well enough alone to be the best route. I mean, it seems like if you start asking questions in bureaucratic circles that have no official answer, sooner or later someone in an office somewhere, not understanding what we're doing, will say No just to be on the safe side. And since it isn't officially codified into law, well, maybe we should do it, just to be safe. I think it's natural to be paranoid, but I think the sooner we act like, and truly believe, that we have every right to responsibly metal detect, then it becomes more acceptable. I think I've only been asked to leave a public park twice in my 6 years of detecting, and only then because a passerby (who didn't watch the entire recovery process) complained and the cops were forced to respond. I actually detect very often at 2 local parks with police stations across the street - never in a million years could I imagine them thinking anything negative about it!

Of course there are times when permission is necessary and the correct thing to do. However, in regards to public parks, I think the the less attention we bring to ourselves among the bureaucrats the better.

Just my 2 cents thumbsup01
