<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 338661, member: 4552"]You now have been told. Best to be safe than sorry. True in some areas you can get into a lot of trouble with a metal detector. naturally if you do it at night, stay in the shade, watch for the cops, you might get away with it. It's the shovel, spot lights, metal detector noises that are a problem though. :smile</p><p>During a construction site where the area under contruction was from about 100 years without being disturbed, many of the construction workers had metal detectors for old coins. Also, old cans, jars, bottles, old wood, etc. were found. Then one day a back hoe hit a cable and many workers were standing there with their metal detectors to see what it was made from. It was not on any documents. Suddenly a mass of cars appeared. They showed ID's as FBI, conviscated the metal detectors, drawings, any photos of the area and told everyone to leave and remember nothing happened here. </p><p>The moral of the story is ask if it's OK first.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
