Where are you reading/seeing that you can't? I just looked through the Cove state park website, and even on to the link it gives for a more complete listing of the rules. I see nothing that *specifically* says "no metal detectors". So where are you getting your information?

What I DO see however (for example on this page: http://www.tn.gov/sos/rules/0400/0400-02/0400-02-09.pdf ) is stuff about cultural heritage, blah blah. Ok, fine, then just detector for modern things, eh?

thanx for the link. Interesting. Well I hope no one in CA ever goes "frequently asking" that question, lest something similar to that show up on the CA state park's website. It's a grey area only covered by ancillary stuff if you tried hard enough, like "collecting" or "disturbing" or "cultural heritage". But nothing specific like that. However, if enough people went asking for clarification, then some desk-bound genius might decide it's "ask frequently enough" to merit a slot on the FAQ page. In fact, I bet that is how it got on TN's FAQ page too. Gee, aren't you glad people asked?
