Mr. Prairie,

I'll be in Chicago area Monday, for a few days. I can bring a Deus Metal Detector.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to get out and detect. They are very late on the project, and we may have to work overtime.

But if you would like to use it, I can leave it at the Hotel desk, and you can pick it up, use it while I am in town.

Thats very generous on your part. However, Let's just postpone the idea for now as I was re-reading sources that I read 2 years ago. Then it was kind of hard to find unambiguous Information as to whether and where in Chicagoland is allowed to metal detect.
But now I searched and most sources said that
In.Cook County ( where most of Chicagoland population is ) they banned the activity in all it's forest preserves as early as 2012. And a lot of people wanted to complain about the decision......
Let's just wait till you might have free time yourself, then we both can go, maybe in this preserve called Pratt Wayne which according to Maps falls just 1 to 1.5 miles South of the Cook County boundary!
Either way ,its all in God's hands! Sometimes better to wait!

yes, that is the pain with regular metal detectors. They are being restricted so much. All the good spots are being regulated out.
All those metal detecting companies need to start doing more lobbying on these politicians to stop the regulations.
