<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 982618, member: 3726&quot;]Well - as mentioned the cemetery I help run is private owned and we could let someone metal detect it if we want.&nbsp; The cemetery was founded in the 1850&#039;s and most of the oldest graves are abandoned - but a few from around the late 1800&#039;s still get flowers(I guess from older relatives in a family section).&nbsp; Again as mentioned our cemetery was a social gathering site and still is.&nbsp; It was used more for picnics and other festivities up until the 1930&#039;s or 1940&#039;s.&nbsp; Since then not so much.&nbsp; Plus - do not think if you bury something on a grave it will stay underneath the soil. And if you ask us - we will tell you no you can not do that(so don&#039;t ask and don&#039;t get caught).&nbsp; Little things like that can be a hazard to the caretaker when cutting and trimming.&nbsp; We have the rules posted clearly - and we will cleanup and discard stuff that gets in the way of maintenance.&nbsp; Our caretaker would probably allow surface detecting, but nothing else.&nbsp; Personally I see nothing wrong with it as long as it is done with respect and the caretakers(or owners) permission.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
