No, permission is not needed for public parks. But as magic-man says, not all are open to hunting. Usually the Fed. and some of the state-owned ones might have prohibitions, but rarely on a city-level are there any rules. Oh, and we don't refer to it as "digging holes in public parks" If you're discreet, and pack the plug back so that you leave no trace, then in my mind, that's not "digging holes" if you don't leave it in the state of a "hole" in the end, right?
You're saying that every single park, in all of England, is off limits? I mean, at all levels: federal, county, and city? Or just the federal? Because a friend of mine went over there to England, and .... in addition to the usual field hunting, also did a few parks for the fun of silver. No one said anything to him

:Hallo Tom, It was just a figure of speech about diggin holes. But you have to dig one before you can fill it back in.
concerning land, unless its your own, you have to get permission, otherwise you can be prosecuted for tresspas.
public parks,nature reserves,etc. are all out of bounds. The only place you can go tecting without any worry is
the beach,and with the amount of traffic on the roads, that is a 3 hour drive away. Your mate was lucky the gestapo
did not detect him hunting. Ask him where he went and I will give it a twirl.

Ray the Bluenose.Hi to Magic Man & Antsy,
Its not compulsary to report finds over here, but it is encouraged as it builds up the history
of the country. All counties have Finds Liasion Officers ,if you find something and you dont know what the hell it is,
theese people will tell you. If you find anything of value which is over three hundred years old it has to be reported
to a coroners court. If the find is classed as treasure the market price is then paid to to the finder, who usualy splits the cash 50 /50 with the landowner. simple ay it?
Best o luck

where do u get the permit 4 nyc parks and which parks are ok
Hey Blueray,
Where I live, in one of two adjoining towns of about 150,000 each, permits are required (renewed every 6 months) but free and easy to get. Surprisingly, the County parks are unpermitted and open. State parks, on the other hand, can get you arrested and equipment confiscated. they have a 'Red-Yellow-Green' designation. There are few Greens. The biggest problem I have found is official 'hole-size' specifications. The County has none, thank God. One city requires a hole 6" in diameter and no more than 6" deep. The other (get this) requires a max 2" diameter hole that can be 12" deep.....I do not know how to dig a hole of those dimensions.....forget about not scratching a coin.
Recently I have been doing a bit of study on British sites. It seems that MOST of your digs are huge farm fields that used to be battle fields or castle grounds. Everything else is like the 'Kings' deer" (remember Robin Hood?). The age of your finds is unbelieveable compared to ours....guess that has a direct relationship to your digs being a couple thousand years older than ours.

For that bit of information, nice of ya. Battle fields and castle grounds are classed as ancient monuments. No way Jos'e. The scale of finds are huge, from Celtic,Roman,Anglo- Saxon,middle ages etc.
A lot of rallies are held on farmers fields at weekends, all finds are identified and recorded. suppose every country
more or less is the same.As for Robin Hood, I was only a kid then and can't remember him too clearly.
