Mayor Abramson has received your e-mail.



Metro Parks is researching issues surrounding metal detecting in parks, and a new policy will be forthcoming.



It appears that state and national parks have banned the practice, and with good reason. Digging holes in parks is not something we can condone, and the removal of artifacts is prohibited by state laws dealing with objects of antiquity. We understand that many people operate metal detectors without the intent of causing harm, but it seems that the best way to protect valuable public assets (both the parks and the artifacts they contain) will be to follow the approach already taken by state and national parks, which is to prohibit the practice except in cases where a permit has been issued for research purposes by the state archaeologist, with all artifacts being turned over to Metro Parks or the state archaeologist, as appropriate.



Thank you for taking the time to write.

I am totally apalled. So just because others have....and they also did so without just cause and without any discussion with those concerned - it is ok to do the same stupid thing.

God help us all.


Oh yeah, someone with a video camera down that way be sure to video tape the people digging holes to plant flowers, trees, shrubs, etc. - for "they cannot condone anyone digging holes".

What do we expect from sinful people but this.....the Archaeologists are jealous and don't want anyone to have antiquities of any kind.....and they are antiques if older than 50 years....all you who were born 50 years or earlier are antiques...including me! A sad situation indeed, because I enjoyed the hobby so much! Let the iron, copper, brass and whatever all corrode away so the Archaeologists and gov't officials can go and find them! Bet they wouldn't like it if they had to do the swinging and the digging!

Roy Volker, who was a deep-sea treasure hunter and the one starting our detector club....and Mel Fisher and many others had problems with the Archaeologists and gov't taking their finds and after the courts all settled the suits, an Archaeologist had to be on board and see and study what is found! Are they God...NO! Are they GREEDY and SELFISH.. YES!!

Get ready everyone, it is going to get worse.....because the Bible says so.....In the Book of Daniel, Chapter 12...Verse 10....Many shall be purified and made white and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand! This is concerning the end of the age on earth as we know it! Our blessed hope is in our Lord Jesus Christ! Keep the faith everyone and don't let go of Him, for He is the way, the truth and the life for our dwelling in new Jerusalem City, eternally!! There shall be a great revival and this may be the way God is bringing the sinners and weak-in-faith Christians to accept and worship Him!

The Constitution is being cast by the wayside and International laws to go by which is a One World Gov't, One World Economic System, and a One World Religion....(And not the faith in Christ we understand and know) ! But look up, good and faithful servants the Lord soon will be nigh to catch His saints from off this corrupted earth! Praise God that we have a Savior! God Bless! Betty
