laws

[diannecal]

Just wondering if anyone can tell me any clear set laws/rules about detecting in the following areas:
playgrounds
ball fields
town fields/parks
state parks
federal parks
cemeteries (no digging, of course)
Regarding private property, how would you go about contacting owners?
phone, mail, in person? Also, do you offer a deal such as splitting finds?
What are some of your experiences in these areas?
Thanks
Also, are there any clubs in the Northeastern MA area?

As anywhere, remember to cut as small a plug as possible and fill your holes. On ballfields,wait until it is the off season for the sport-ie, baseball wait until fall or winter. Property owners will likely be more receptive of a visit in person. Hope this helps some.

Just wondering if anyone can tell me any clear set laws/rules about detecting in the following areas:
playgrounds County playground should be okay.
ball fields always best to check before digging
town fields/parks Most will let you,
state parks Must call them to see what the rules are
federal parks NO
cemeteries (no digging, of course) This is one I would not do, If a old home place, talk to land owener
Regarding private property, how would you go about contacting owners?Knock on there OWENERS door only, You can call but is better to meet person to person. I always get it in writing also
phone, mail, in person? Also, do you offer a deal such as splitting finds?
