<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bonedigger, post: 302138, member: 4367&quot;]Ruben, you&#039;ve hit the nail on the head.&nbsp; Property ownership is an absolute thing in every imaginable sense depending entirely on which state you&#039;re property is located in. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????</p><p>Western SD Rules</p><p>Here are a couple of answers to questions I asked today when I drove into town to visit the courthouse for other business today.&nbsp; Here in South Dakota it&#039;s unlawful to detect within 100ft of any (public or private) known or otherwise burial ground or in any National Forest or Grassland.&nbsp; It is however permissible to detect in the common area of a church, school, public building, or park as long as the hole dug is 6&quot; or less and filled in.&nbsp; It&#039;s illegal to detect in the flood-plain of Rapid Creek along it&#039;s entire course to the Cheyenne River (approx. 40 miles) since that is considered to be a (grave area) due to the 1972 flood and those bodies which were never recovered.</p><p><br /></p><p>When detecting around a church DO-NOT enter the graves area with the detector and what exactly constitutes that is up to the determination of the arresting/investigating officer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, one can be reported for violating these rules by anyone who has a cell-phone and can dial 911...&nbsp; It is a $250 fine and there are several issued each year to tourists and others who aren&#039;t aware of these restrictions or feel like taking the chance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take Care</p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
