... provided you are not digging large holes...

Size is relative but, whatever you do - please backfill before you leave!

Thanks for the good luck wishes! My thoughts are the same on the big holes deal. I always back fill and attempt to make it look the same as before I dug with the acception of moisture content in the dirt which I can't help. I can't put every piece back in the exact order it came out but I always try to make things as good as possible in order to not ruin this hobby for myself and others (mainly myself though)!

Seems to me IF it was not permitted BEFORE it won't be permitted during the draw down - but heck, what do I know!

That leaves two viable options - hunt and pray you don't get in trouble or ask for permission...

I always lean toward the permission side. I kind of see not getting permission as stealing. I am a God fearing man and I have enough to answer for already, don't need more fuel on that fire.

It is tuff in Fresh thick Mud also.
if you haven't done it, you'll find out

Can be interesting.

just remember if it feels like Quicksand, & doesn't want to ease it's Grip on your Feet.
Rock Forward till your heels pop loose

I've been in lake mud almost to my Knees & it can get interesting
including temporairly lost shoes & socks

We had to rescue unsuspecting woman & children who actually sunk to their Waists

don't go alone if possible. have someone on shore,

Thats not too far of a drive for me. Would anyone like to get a group together for this? This would be my first time out so we would have some beginners luck with us.

I am from Hunt Valley Md but i would like to go and detect this place with someone. I could come some Sunday. Please let me know thanks Chris

 

[trouter]

I'm in for a hunt, only a little over a half hour away from the lake

 

[Cburden]

Where u located

I'm in philadelphia although 3 hours drives are normal for me so I think "not too far" is relative.

 

[dholland02]

There draining 2 feet a week till its drained, but there is a judge that lives right next to it ans he is trying stop it bc he has money and likes the scenery. Typical rich person from center county.

Do we need to wait until it's fully drained to start?

If you wait, you may be missing the opportunity to be ahead of the crowd.
