Wear an orange vest... Cover your holes.... If anyone asks.... You're looking for Survey points...

Usually it is public property, check to be sure.

If there's no signs saying " no metal detecting" then I'd just start detecting and see what happens.

It looks like a commercial area. If you're somewhat apprehensive about it, hunt it on a Sunday afternoon or evening.

Curb strips are a grey area detecting wise. In the majority of locals they are actually owned by the city, but maintained by the home owner and realistically are ok to detect. Most home owners, however, consider them their property. I hunt curb trips around apartment buildings and some commercial buildings and vacant lots. Don't like dealing with home owners even though they don't actually own the strips in my city. Many won't question you, but some will. HH jim tn

In Colorado you would ask the county clerk. They keep the records of property owners.

Typically, that is on the "right-of-way", so it's technically/legally fair game most places. The homeowners do tend to get pretty possessive, since they do maintain them, so asking them isn't a bad practice.
On the normal 2-lane road the right-of-way extends 33 feet from the road center.

Who do I ask?

Call the police department. They are very helpful. Last time I called a detective called back and said if you treat the land like you treat your own have at it leave it like you found it . No big deal . Respect is of the utmost. Just ask.

 

[autopilot42]

Be respectful and you will find many places.

 

[autopilot42]

I said you will never know someone was there. That was Darby PA nice fellow. Respect is everything
