Private land near Gettysburg

[PArebel]

Hi fellow MD'ers,
Have a question about private land in the vicinity of Gettysburg and whether relichunting is allowed. I am not looking for someone to invite me to relichunt with them. I have permission to relichunt private land near Richmond and have a "lib" at work always spouting off about me "desecrating" the land because of my relichunting. I know one does not relichunt on National Battlefields so that is not an issue.
I have told him that it is private land and I have permission. Doesn't help. He starts spouting off that relichunting isn't allowed at Gettysburg and should not be allowed anywhere. I brought up the fact that it is private land and the landowner is the one who should make the decision. His next rant is the government should prohibit it, private land of not. You can tell who he voted for last November.
Thanks for reading and HH

Normally if it were public

He Is. (Harassment) .
is he also Trespassing to Harass You ?

so in this case advise him of this

& ignore him

Happy Hunting !

If it is private land and you have permission, then go for it before it becomes a Walmart parking lot............

TH is on the money there, better get to the Wilderness battlefield before that happens. Next step will be an airport

Thanks for the replies.
I now live in PA so it is not a problem with him following me to VA to do any harrassing on the hunts.
I would still like to know if the government has outlawed relichunting on private land around the Gettysburg Battlefield. Would be great to have some extra "ammo" if I can find out that relichunting is still allowed on private land. Next time he starts his rants I can politely tell him he is wrong.
Thanks again.

No the governement has not outlawed it. Least not yet but with this whacked out socialist regime it may not be long. Long as you are outside the park boundaries you are OK.

Private property is just that. The owner has the say so. Go for it. If your lib coworker has a problem with it then it's his problem.

Ask him what his hobbies are and whatever they may be tell him they should be outlawed. Turn it back on him and have some fun.

Hi PArebel

Do you need the governments permission to dig holes for a fence? If ya do you might have a problem with a detector on private land but somehow i dont think this will be the case. The government I am sure will have marked out what they consider historically signaficant and bought the land for a national reserve. I cant see how they can make the rules on private land to prohibit metal detecting when the property is able to be farmed. As for the guy who dosnt own the land telling you not to detect, tell him to bugger off!! simple!! if he dosent like it tell him to ring the coppers to shut him up once and for all, After all you do have the owners permission right!!

my grandfather taught me a important lesson long ago -- you can not win a arguement with a moron (period)-- it simply waste your time ,effort and temperment to try and do so -- since even if you can "prove" without a doubt that you are 100% correct--- a dolt is not man enough (or woman enough in some cases) to admit that they are in error (wrong) and your correct --- plus often their simply not smart enough to learn anything from you.

the cure is simple ---do not tell him what your doing since it just "stirs" em up again --- so just let the flames of his ranting and raving stupidity die down by not adding fuel to the fire ---the less you interact with foolish twits the more peaceful your life is -- ps folks can't complain about what they do not know of. --so do not feed him info on what you do.

just stay away from the property line if it
borders the park property.

give them a few feet to avoid
them from spying on you
or contesting the property
line.
