2gunz New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 04/29/2009 4:49 pm I did some research into some local history and found out that there was a horse track a hundred years ago on one of our parks. The park is still there but the track ended in 1904 or something. I got a permit to search the parks with my metal detector. My question is something that old must be deeper than my detector can search right? Before I dive into search mode, I want to be properly prepared. Do I have the right equipment?

I live in an area where some major Civil War action took place and relics are unearthed here all the time. Just be careful and observant of all local, state, and federal laws applicable to the hobby. Familiarize yourself with the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 Here is the link....http://www.nps.gov/history/local-la...srcsProt.pdf Although that does not stop most detectorist, It does leave an avenue for possible prosecution.
