Went to a river site today to locate a ring my brother in law's wife lost. Took about 45 minutes, but success was reached with my Tejon. She was so happy. Suddenly three other adults were at my car laughing and talking about what they had lost in the past. Then the oldest man, I guess 75 years old stated, his wife had lost her class ring many years ago at a local private cemetary. He asked what I thought about hunting for it, but I wasn't sure. But it just so happens he's the person responsible for the up keep. There are graves dating back to before the civil war there so I might just take him up on the request. It's hard to say what I might find, beside her ring.

I would say graveyards are off limits from an ethical standpoint. Personally I would never consider it, Could you imagine a living relative seeing someone digging in a cemetary where their loved ones are interned. It could literally disturb someone for life, just wondering if their grave was violated..Just my opinion....There are lots of other places to hunt that have more traffic and potential..

I apologise if this sounds rude , I don''t mean to sound like that but this subject really disturbes me.
I cannot understand why anyone would even think about entering a sacred resting place (GRAVEYARD) for other than the obvious reasons, my god man I don't care someone paid me to look for something in a graveyard .They have staff in there to find lost articles and if it is in the ground it belongs there

I would not hunt in one just personal opinion.
I grew up in the country. We had a fair amount of "family" graveyards around the area. One was located on one of my dads farms, (still is). We put a fence around the site and to this day do not disturb it. We do not even know the family to who it belonged, Beale.

I would think City, County, State laws would have"Desecration of a grave sight and or grave yard laws in place...
And I really have only one question..Not being a jerk..Why would you want to dig in a sacred graveyard.
You could set metal detecting back 50 years................. "Just think if it were your relatives cemetery you were digging in:.. Come on, find another place.
Some places are just off limits..even if it's self imposed !! Your intentions are honorable, but is the man that asked you..Maybe a widow buried that ring for a reason near her loved one. Maybe he didn't loose it at all...just heard about it...and wants you to find it for him...Just a thought. I also think you knew the answer from a lot of us before you looked was" No Way"..I think you were thinking "No Way" and just wanted confirmation.

I have hunted a few grave yards and in my opinion it is not disrespectful at all, just my opinion. For the most part, my own past away family would turn in the grave if there were coins on top of them not in someones hands after very hard poor lives. As for myself I would have no problem someone md'ing my grave. I do not md around graves that are after the 60's for respect of their loved ones.
