Is there any area near Eldarado Canyon that is legal to hunt?

Tom please don't take offense but I've noticed that on nearly every single post here when someone asks about permission, or the legalities of detecting in a particular area here you are telling them to "just do it" if there's no signs forbidding it. So you had a bad experience with asking permission.. I can understand that and respect your position. I even understand, sort of, what you're trying to say. However with all the bad publicity we get already from people leaving open holes, getting arrested on historic sites, etc. we surely don't need to take a pirate mentality and go trespassing wherever we feel like going just because the property isn't posted. I think after awhile the legal fees would offset any amount of "treasure" you might find. The archies are trying their best to have new laws passed that will eventually stop us from detecting anyplace except maybe our own yard. Having a bunch of us getting caught where we shouldn't be just because "nobody said we can't" is just plain bad advice.Tom_in_CA said:What are you talking? City property? county? state? fed? etc... Or ...... turn your question around the other way: is there some reason why you think it WOULDN'T be legal at any particular place? If I see no prohibitions about something I intend to do (metal detect, fly frisbees, etc...) then I assume I can, unless I see it posted to the contrary. If you are still skittish, park rules for each city and county are usually available on their website. If it is silent on the issue, then .... so be it
Why not just go on the floor... it's dosn't say you can't... I'm donelookindown said:I'm with Tom on this. If I'm at Wal Mart should i ask for permission to use the rest room, because it does'nt say "customer rest room" ? I think I'll just be a pirate and go for it.
