Seeker, the question would not be "which parks allow md'ing?", but rather: "Is there any prohibitions for md'ing?".

Because any city's parks need not have an express "allowance" . As if you're expecting to find signs saying "metal detecting allowed here" or whatever. In the absence of any dis-allowance, then presto, it's not prohibited.

Have you checked to see if Houstan city muni codes, and/or park rules say anything about detecting ? Their minutia should be on-line @ city website, etc... Naturally, even though you might not see a rule saying "no detecting", you still use due discretion and don't tromp around *obvious* sensitive historic monuments, or waltz around bored gardeners with shovel-in-hand, etc..... Kind of like nose-picking: you do so at discreet times so as not to offend the squeemish.
