Unfortunatly cannot use a metal detector in or around it :(

[jasonbo]

From what i have read everything in green an blue in this area is offlimits

Metal detectors are banned in state, Lower Colorado River Authority and Travis County parks. The City of Austin requires a permit to hunt in places such as Zilker Park, and they are granted only for extenuating circumstances, such as finding a lost wedding ring, said Austin parks spokesman Victor Ovalle.

So "lose" your wedding ring..... I figure it might take, ummmm..... two weeks of steady detecting to find, I bet!
