...Over on Treasurenet,on the Michigan TH'ing website;there were a couple of Yooper Th'ers askin about hunting Fayette State Park up in the U.P.I told them to go to the MDNR website;and print out a copy of the Parks that are Open;and Closed to metal detecting-I also told them about my experience up in Burt Lake State Park 3 years ago(Came close to becoming a jail bird on that day;that park's CLOSED to detecting:nono:)and that I didnt even know the list existed until someone told me.THEN;I LOWERED THE BOOM:I told them Fayette is on the list of parks CLOSED TO DETECTING....and;I told them if you go you will be arrested;and when it hits the papers;every detectorist everywhere will get a bad rep-SO DONT DO IT!!! I sure hope this doesnt spur them on to do something stupid:sadwalk::wacko::sick::help:
 
Now they know better! :)
 
who had a motorhome and was going to vacation in the UP. They were from out of state and stopped to talk to Al about detecting in Fayette's ghost town. Al sadly had to inform them it would be a wasted trip for them since Fayette is closed.

How sad that people spend so much money and want to enjoy a hobby, travel to our state only to be told they can't do what they wanted to do.

I don't remember if they stopped to buy detectors or just talk but it is a good thing they did. Imagine being from out of state, accidently committing a crime of detecting in a closed state park, losing not only your detector(s) but your motorhome too..(anything used to perpetrate a crime can be confiscated...and DNR would do that just to get themselves a motorhome).
 
With DNR it wouldn't matter if ya knew or not, to them a crime is committed and they take it all. They like to use the 'ignorance is no excuse' policy...especially since now they have the website that everyone with a detector and internet access can get to.
