Don't plan on detecting in Boise!
Just a friendly bit of advice.......don't plan on using your detector in any city park in Boise, Idaho. They require a $10 permit and you must take a 2 hour class to get it. You must agree to obey ALL their rules, prove you can retrieve a target using only a short screw driver, and the classes only run in the summer. The only retrieval tool allowed is screw drivers 1/4" or less in diameter and no more than 8" long. You must wear your permit in plain sight so the "detector police" can easily identify you. I've heard from more than one source here the Boise city council treats detectorists like would be terrorists. And if that's not enough, there is NO detecting on any Boise school properties. And the sidewalk strip which is usually open in any town, is not. You must obtain permission from the property owner to hunt it. Can't wait to get out of here..........lol.........goldpaninut
