<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DJP7x0s, post: 300410, member: 5336&quot;]I live in Rhode Island and Ive scoped out some really nice spots to try with my metal detector. But the spots I know of are quite the hike into the woods. I know a spot where theres about 7 or 8 old foundation holes, but its atleast an hours walk one way. Me and my buddy went out there once, but broke our shovel like as soon as we got to where we were going. Its a nice spot, you can kinda tell how it was set up, alittle community out in the middle of nowhere. Theres prob more foundations that I havent found. And I have another spot thats alot closer and alot easier to get to. The only prob with that spot, is the fact that its an old cemetary. Ive always wanted to metal detect that but Ive always wondered aout the morality of that. I dont think its bad to do as long as I dont dig down more than 6 or 7 inches. What does everyone else think??? Is it morally wrong to metal detect in a historic cemetary if I dont disturb anything and dont dig deep??? All the stones out there are 1850 and older. some of the really old stones are weathered beyond being able to read. Its on my grandmothers property and noone else knows its out there. My grandmother never wanted to let the historic society know that its out there because they have the right to take the land and call it theirs. Not just the cemetary, but the road to get to it. Anyhow, does anyone have any opinions about detecting a historic cemetary??? Oh and a guy I know found a 1796 Silver dollar while metal detecting. That was in great shape too, prob grades VF[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
