I know about that place though, people still live there. Me and my buds in high shcool used to go there. Everytime it rains bad, the river rises and floods the road into that place, making it kind of like a island. I would imagine that would be a great place to hunt, but its a religious community that keeps to it self, I don't think they would let anybody detect there. I could be wrong though.
Its cool though, its a community with a big church, lots of houses, right in the middle of the forest. It has been 10 years since I have been there, but I doubt anything has changed there...

I know the place you speak of. . . unfortunately though, it's strictly "off limits" to MD (written in the resident by-laws).
bummer. . .

I figured that was the case. From what I remember, they didn't like outsiders in there either. They stay to them selfs in their community in the woods. Its cool though, they hay tiny 1 lane roads and a whole lot of old wodden fancy houses. too bad about the no huntin...

Hey Lowbatts,
Thanks for posting the great reference link. I checked it out and got lost on the American Memory site for a couple hours already. Looks like it will be useful for family tree research also.

I had permission to do it for about 2 hours back in 1986. My brother knew the care taker. After being there a while he came out and said he was sorry but a resident just reminded him that it was written in the by laws that no detecting is allowed. Can't wait til the city buys it and it becomes city property.. Hopefully in my life time
