Covered Bridges Are Concidered State Property
As The State Maintains Them Cant Detect Civil War Artifacts On State OR Federal Land Without A Permitt
Not Saying The Chruch Is But You Must Still Obey Private Property Laws
And I Highly Doubt That The Church Would Let Anyone Dig Stuff Out Of The Church
As It Will Just Deface The Building More

Yea didn't the covered bridge use to be behind the Milton Elementary School? would love to metal detect behind that school also in that big field, got to be some good stuff under that dirt. Do you still hunt in the area, maybe meet up there sometime if you would like?
