<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Old Detectorist, post: 2353768, member: 77430&quot;]My dad and I used to go detecting in Texas when I was a kid in the late 1960s. We used BFO detectors from Bill Mahan&#039;s company out of Garland, Texas. Occasionally, we would go to a cemetery and dig around. We ALWAYS covered our holes and tried to make the ground look like we had never been there. That is what my dad taught me no matter where you dig.</p><p>As far as the issue of defacing property, disturbing the dead, robbing the dead, etc. A true &quot;detectorist&quot; would not be considered &quot;defacing&quot; property. My dad and I had witnessed many very sad situations where people had painted horrible things on headstones and used big round marble balls found on some headstones to destroy other headstones by using the ball like a bowling ball. This would be more disturbing to me than any detectorist in a cemetery.</p><p><span style="color: #ff0000">Edited:&nbsp; Religious comments are not allowed by the rules,</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
