Hello,
I've been pretty interested in detecting a large park/woods near my home but before I find a phone number I figured I'd ask here first.
Is it illegal to metal detect in a Park Reserve in Minnesota?
I wanted to be sure before I ran out and got my detector confiscated or fined. I've heard that a State park you cannot but a city park you can but I'm not sure what having "Reserve" in it qualifies it as.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Nate
