Just wondering.
Do people challenge you when detecting a local park and ask you if you have the right
to be doing what you are doing - metal detecting?
I have had 3 similar scenarios where there was some sort of objection.
This is what makes coin detecting difficult and that is finding places to detect without being hassled.
I am not a fan of night detecting unless there are 2 of you or you're on a beach. In a park its simply not
safe as you don't know who is hanging around. Have I done night detecting? Yes I have. One instance I started about 4am
and around 6am I was approached by 3 unsavory looking dudes who were interested in what I was doing.
This is whats so good about bush prospecting. You have the peace and tranquility with very little disturbance unless your spotted
by a farmer and the area happens to be next door to his or her property.
