Hey Guys, I apologize if this question has already been beaten to death.
This Summer while scouting out fishing locations, I found a lake in a remote area, in one of those towns if you blink while driving through you missed it. On one side of the Lake their is all houses, the other side is a nice park, with a sign that says something along the lines of, site of old conservation club from the 1930's. I thought wow this could be an interesting hunting location. But, I was concerned with all of the houses facing the lake and park, there would probably be someone that would not be happy with someone metal detecting. I would only use my Lesche digging tool, and do my best not to leave a trace. I prefer to hunt in locations where I do not have an audience, but I cant help but not think about this site. Sites such as these is one reason I purchased the Cortes, hoping to limit the amount of digging non treasure items.
I would have no idea where to begin to ask for permission to hunt this public site, as it is in a remote location, with no government agencies and no signs for contact of any kind.
Am I worrying too much?
What do you guys do in this situation?
Anyone ever have the Police called for Metal Detecting?
Thanks for Advice.
