Hey everyone,

Here is a petition to try and get Harris County Precinct 4 to let metal detector users, use the park areas for our hobby, metal detecting.

You can add comments if you like, but we need good points about metal detector use in all park areas. We don't need to attack their decision or call them names.

The website might ask for donations, as all websites do. You DO NOT have to "Pay to Sign" this petition !!!

******After signing, another page might randomly show up now and then asking for donations. Sorry if this happens to you, but make sure you UNCHECK the donation of $10.00.*******

Please sign and tell all your friends, family, and even tell your neighbors, so they can sign also.

Thank you very much.

Robbie

Here is the link.

Done deal and good luck with this. I would not only like to see it be successful for your benefit but the benefit we all could potentially see if this action is successful.

Please everyone !!!! Sign this petition!!! You don't have to contribute donations to their website... we need to have lots more signatures.

Again I stress, you don't have to pay to sign !!!!!
One day it could be your park areas closed to detectors!!!!

Have you posted this up in any other Tnet sections? There are many on here that travel to the area or live here and do not post much in the Texas forum.

Keep it up.

Keep it up.

It is posted in the Legal section also. It is also on at least 3 other detecting forums and trying to get it on a few more.

Jump on craigslist Houston in the discussion forums as well. There may be a section just for petitions and outdoor hobbies.

Thanks to everyone who has signed this petition so far. We still need everyone to sign this. You don't have to donate anything to sign.

Here is what is on the Precinct 4 Parks website. But they prohibit the use of metal detectors???????

Please... tell everyone you know to click on the link above, and sign this petition.

Well, I signed, but I'm not certain it is taking the signatures (since it goes to the donation page, then to PayPal and then back to the petitions, but not the one I signed.

Is there a way to see the petition?

Mrs O, Had the same thing happen to me, but yes the vote was recorded.
I suppose yours did as well as a donation is not required.

I signed the petition, but nearly got hijacked for ten bucks at the petition site. Be careful, the second page is a paypal donation for the company that prints the petition and a $10.00 donation is already checked! Kinda' underhanded I think. Monty

Thanks for the signature, and the added info on the pre-warned donations, and it does not go to the donation page on everyone..it is just random. I will modify the first post to let them know more details about the donation page
