Digging in parks play grounds?

i agree 100% "if you look for trouble,it WILL find you!"
i cant emphasize too strongly,the absolute NEED to practice
good recovery procedures!.in other words,LEARN how to recover a target properly,and
leave little or better yet,NO trace of where you have dug! if ANYONE fails to do this,then this
is "tantamount" to hobby suicide,and we will ALWAYS be hassled no matter where one goes to engage in our wonderful hobby!
just sayin'

a lot of what you have said is 'couched" in common sense,but
definitely should be considered "required" reading!..just sayin'

your "key" sentence IS the last one!
'generally" it's been MY experience that no one cares,OR knows!
THAT in,and of itself,IS a solution,in that just go do your thing,but just make "damn"
sure you follow proper digging procedures,and you should be ok!..if not?and ya get 'tossed?
go to your "secondary" site and resume your hunt!..just sayin'

So park departments consider metal detecting to be a recreational activity. My local park department gave me a free card that shows that I have permission to detect in the city parks.
I don't abuse this privilege and always do the best job I can to make my digging invisible when I recover a coin. I also pick up trash and take it to the barrels located in the parks.
