Metal Detecting Laws for the State of NH and surrounding towns

[angifogg]

I am a little confused about the laws pertaining to metal detecting in NH. I read the NH State Statute Title XIX Section 227-C:12 and to me it sounds like any property owned by the state, its agencies, etc. is permitted as long as it is not recorded as a historic resource or has posted restrictions.

So I can go to a state park and metal detect as long as the above items are not present? Do these rules change when you go to a city park to detect?

So confused about the rules and have a few good sites in mind... I emailed (2) town managers and (1) state contact today with the same question, but received no response....Big Surprise!!
