<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pocket Change, post: 301304, member: 8012&quot;]The poster says that streets and streams and other things have been named after these &quot;famous&quot; people and NO ONE knows about graveyard?&nbsp; These people have no descendants?&nbsp; Oh, there are people who know where it is!!!&nbsp; I&#039;ve done family research for years and this story is, to be perfectly honest, unbelievable.&nbsp; A graveyard of 90 tombstones filled with &quot;famous&quot; people is known - even if it is overgrown and off the beaten path.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find this whole thing a little funny.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>However, detecting in a graveyard is a legitimate question.&nbsp; I more or less agree with Coinlover - but I would add that you should only detect around the perimeters and paths leading to the area - not between the graves.</p><p><br /></p><p>As someone else said, it&#039;s really a moral question.&nbsp; I do know that in Minnesota is is illegal to &quot;deface&quot; a tombstone or grave.&nbsp; Don&#039;t know how that might apply to someone digging a small hole 6&quot; deep over a grave.</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT:&nbsp; If what you say is true - that a town founder is buried on your property and no one knows about it.&nbsp; You really have a moral obligation to let the leaders of that town know about it.&nbsp; If the town doesn&#039;t exist anymore, than the you should notify the county historical society.&nbsp; Not a LEGAL requirement, just a MORAL one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
