California- Breaking the law, when you aren't breaking the law.
Metal detecting here in California has come to a point it's getting ridiculous- too many rules, and laws. I metal detect at night because I am allergic to the sun. 9.30 at night I have the cops pull up next to my truck in the parking lot. They tell me I need to leave because they just kicked out two guys that were smoking dope, and it wouldn't be fair if I was allowed to stay, and they weren't. I'm in an all night park, no postings to say it closes at a certain time, and I'm not breaking any laws, but I pay the price because somebody else was breaking the law The good thing is I haven't come across a city, or county park thats bans metal detecting, or you need a permit, but for crying out loud let the law abiding tax payer do his favorite hobby.
