Boston area hunting?

[Joe G]

I'm going to be in Cambridge for a couple of days and figured I'd take the MD's with me, you know, just in case Anyone know anything about MD laws in Mass?
I'll be staying at an 1840's B&B but I doubt I'll be able to hunt it. There doesn't appear to be a lot of land and it's a landmark site to boot... I'm going to google earth the area and see what I can find. I'll also try to contact some local clubs. We'll see. Won't be able to put a lot of time in but I just want to make sure I can hunt without getting arrested

Thanks!

Dear Dr. Grim

Here is the information you requested on metal detecting in Massachusetts. I hope this is what you need for your book.

304 CNR DIVSION OF FORESTS AND PARKS
12.08 METAL DETECTORS:

No person shall use or offer for use any device for the purpose of locating or removing metalic objestd or any artifacts from the peoperties of the Division with the exception that such deviced may be used at the discretion of the ares supervisor, on designated swimming beaches with following provisions;

(1) That prior permission is requested from the area supervisor or his authorized representive/
(2) That such use be confined to the sand beach only:
(3) That any holes dug for the purpose of locating coins or other forms of metal shall be filled in immeadiately theresfter:
(4) That such use shall not conflict with the use of the beach for swimming of sunbathing.

This document is reprinted from the Code of Massachusetts Regulations and cointains the following

304 CMR 1.00-30.00 all regulations of the division of forests and parks

This is all that was in the book of laws. Hope this will help
