GRRRRRRR!I'm about ready to sell my MD!WARNING-Rant ahead.
Since I have been out of the game for nearly a year,I thought I'd do some research.First stop,City Hall where I know the only judge and the chief of police.I talk to them about doing a little md'ing in some of the town parks (2) and some vacant city properties (5).NOOOO!Some other jack@$$ went without permission,left his holes,and someone got hurt.Well I scratched my head and went else where for possible hunting grounds.First stop,public land oh yeah.AHHHHH crap!DNR has designated all lands wildlife management areas or Heritage Preserves around my area.Well guess what!!Detectors are not allowed and picking up an arrowhead laying on the ground can get you in a heap of trouble.So I stopped and asked a couple retirees in the area if I could MD their fields.I got two h377 no's.One yes, but only if I can come back when he can go out with me and collect everything I find.I don't like doing all the work for no reward.This guy seamed pretty stern about getting everything,so I figure I might get all the junk finds like tabs and nails.
I live in a small area and I have four kids that partake in after school activities.I don't have much time for md'ing so I have to stay close to home.We live across the hill from the school so that frees up a little time for md'ing while the kids are at their activities after school.The company owned lakes, with parks, absolutely forbid md's.If they even see one in your vehicle they will take down your tag number and name.Then ask you to leave.It has gotten absurd with rules against md'ing and I don't see why.There's not many people in my area with md's.All the clubs have fell apart that I have contacted.I think I am starting to see why few in my area md.
Any advice or words of discouragement.I mean encouragement.
