Anyone detect Fort Wayne parks?

[Goes4ever]

I am fairly close and I know they have some large old parks, anyone here hunt any of them? no way any of them are hunted out, many are huge, one being over 300 acres

I'm not sure which Park, but my friend found a 1923 Peace Dollar in December, so they don't seem hunted out to me!!

Hi Guys,
Are there any restrictions, permits required etc. for Ft. Wayne parks? I hated to call up there and ask fearing rejection. If they are being detected I would love to go up there. I have found a few interesting things on an old map that links to Ft. Wayne parks. I was planning on running up there this spring and
checking things out but a heads up from somebody on the scene would help.

I emailed the parks dept several times and here is all I got from them:
"I am sending this over to our Park Superintendent so he can address this
directly with you."
so I waited a few days and heard nothing back, so i emailed again and got this reply:

"Thanks for your follow-up. I will send this on to him because I haven't
heard back on this issue."

I guess if it were not permitted I would get a definate "no" So.......when I get a warm day, I will be going over to check one out, there is a lot of BIG parks there.

Sounds good to me, come on Spring. Road trip to Ft. Wayne is a good way to start this year's season.
Thanks, for the info.

I have detected parks here since 1980. Have found some very nice items and a lot of junk.Only had one time at Lakeside Park when a lawnmowing guy gave me hard time . Asked him to find anyplace that I had dug but he was adamant about me leaving. The only other problem I have heard of was at Foster Park on golf course. Police chased a club member off the goldf course part of park, even tho were lot of divots laying around...lol. Good hunting.
