Tunnioc Pillar of the Community United States 3180 Posts	Posted 03/08/2012 8:49 pm I have had permission granted to hunt a city park. I told them I would dig no deeper than 14 inches and no wider than 12 inches and I would fill the holes back in, and replant the grass. I got the letter back stating that I was allowed to hunt, but had to keep the letter with me while hunting so the park police wouldn't arrest me. I bought a small bag of grass seed and filled the holes in, then sprinkled the seed. I found a 1952P quarter and 3 silver rosies(52D 59D 64D) a couple wheaties and a bunch of modern clad.

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 03/08/2012 10:04 pm Seems pretty straightforward: Quote: (a) Plants. No person shall possess, destroy, injure, deface, remove, dig, or disturb from its natural state any plant or the parts or products thereof in any park, beach or recreational facility, except as otherwise provided herein. No person shall attach or affix any handbill, notice, sign or advertisement on any plant or part thereof in or adjacent to a park or recreational facility. Don't dig up any flowers to take home. Quote: (c) Artifacts. No person shall possess, destroy, injure, deface, remove, dig, or disturb from its natural state any fossilized or nonfossilized paleontological specimens, cultural or archaeological resources, or the parts thereof in any park, beach or recreational facility. Leave the arrowheads and stuff for the archaeologists. Quote: (d) Minerals. No person shall possess, destroy, injure, deface, remove, dig, or disturb from its natural state any rock, mineral, geological formation or cave formation or the parts thereof in any park, beach or recreational facility. It took a thousand years to grow a six inch stalactite. If every visitor took one home, the cave formations would be another hole in the ground within six months. IOW, don't destroy anything and replace your divots. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 03/08/2012 10:16 pm I totally agree biggfredd! I just know how California is, you sneeze the wrong way, and someone is ready to prosecute you or sue you. It just sucks out here but, I think I am going to do it...all they can say is get the h outta here. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 03/21/2012 11:12 pm Okay, so mmorgan22 and myself are going there tomorrow. If we get kicked out, so be it. I will have the email printout from OC Parks plus, Matt's future mother-in-law lost a gold ring there awhile back. That may allow us if nothing else. Will keep you posted :-) swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

Down the road from me is the Old San Luis Rey Mission, est 1796.. Wow would it be fun to dig! but that is OFFF limits big time.. like most historical places. but older school yards, playgrounds, etc I think are free game here Report this Post to the Staff
biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 03/24/2012 02:40 am No crazier than the privately owned county fairgrounds here. You can hunt all you want in the parking lot, but not the grounds itself. Report this Post to the Staff
