<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Night Hawk, post: 1731314, member: 2731&quot;]Not totally correct, it all depends on what state you live in.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here in Oregon most state parks are off limits, school yards are another story. As long as you are not on school property during school hours or during school activities they <i><b>CAN NOT</b></i> make you leave, it&#039;s public property and as a member of the public you have a right to be there. I&#039;ve gone nose to nose with more then one soccer coach/teacher/wannabe enforcer and I have always won. The last time I had an encounter was when a soccer coach called the cops on us and tried to have us arrested for trespassing, when the officer showed up the only thing he said as was &quot;find anything good?&quot;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>You are correct though that each city can have different rules covering their parks, always check before digging.</p><p><br /></p><p>Private schools are private property and can&#039;t be detected on unless you have permission.</p><p><br /></p><p>County parks, it all depends on the county. Half the counties in Oregon don&#039;t care as long as you leave no trace.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any place considered historical, just assume it&#039;s off limits until you can get <i>written </i>permission to detect there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again the key is leave no trace, learn how to dig a target without pulling up a giant plug and learn how to put it back so that it looks like you were never there.</p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone happens to come through the Eugene/Springfield area I would be happy to show them the proper methods of detecting, in an hour I can shave weeks to months off the learning curve.</p><p><br /></p><p>And one last thing....Get a <a href="http://www.kellycodetectors.com/accessories/index.php?model=14-1166000&amp;gclid=CPSXmb2i-bcCFWXZQgoduEIAng" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.kellycodetectors.com/accessories/index.php?model=14-1166000&amp;gclid=CPSXmb2i-bcCFWXZQgoduEIAng" rel="nofollow">pin pointer</a>! It makes retrieval soooooooooooo much easier, I won&#039;t even bother detecting without mine.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
