Layering Historic Places Over Google Earth

Properties listed on the National Registry of Historical Places are places to stay out of...this video may help someone keep from going where they don't belong. Remember we have enough problems without bad press of people with detectors trespassing and getting arrested in places they should not be. People have been known to go where they shouldn't, They lost not only the detecting equipment, but the vehicle they came into the property with and the feds have even tried to take their homes as evidence relating to the crime. They also had to suffer legal expenses and more.

Hope this helps. As mentioned before Ignorance is curable (stupidity though is forever).

HH and be safe.

Fantastic! Perhaps not as helpful in California as on the East Coast, but a good research tool even here. Thank you.

national parks means Federal....breaking any law in one of them is a Federal crime.

I do have a question. I'm not talking about National Monuments, Military parks, National or State Parks. My sister lived near Wheeling, West Virginia, and owned an old 3 story brick home. This property had been occupied by this or another home prior, dating back to the 1700's. She and her husband restored the house and got it listed in the National Register of Historic Structures(?). This was still her private property and she told me she knew of no restrictions placed on it. Are the places in the Register of Historic places all "controlled" by the government after being placed on the list. If still privately owned, I don't know how they could be. Anyone give me some help clarifying this for me? Thanks.
