Seems like Wisconsin's Dept. of Natural Resources is stopping the use of metal detectors on any property controlled by them which means every piece of State Park land, State land, lake and river bottom in the State. Read for yourself what is now a fact. Our club has notified the Federation of Metal Detector and Archaeological Clubs and are striking up against the States rights to take our rights to use a metal detector away on property we pay for and the wages we also pay for that goes to these State employees. Here's the URL. I'm not sure this will work and you may have to cut and paste. PLEASE check it out.

I have been asking questions of local DNR wardens and none of them would would enforce the 'waterways' ban mentioned on the website. "As long as you are not trespassing in order to detect, I couldn't see any problems with what you are doing". I then found this link:
http://www.fs.fed.us/r9/cnnf/rec/heritage/metal_detectors.html
It's good to know that not all federal lands are turned against us yet.

Hi Jim and welcome to the forum. Thanks for the info you posted up. The club has members working with the state and some counties to attempt to keep our rights to detect intact. I thank them for their work on all of our behalf.
It's snowing hard here in central WI but the weather forecasts for the next couple of weeks show that spring should be here soon!
Hope to meet you at a club meeting soon.

Hello Dan good to here from you, as for this I dont know if our club contacted Federation or not as we dont belong to it. But we do have a committee working to see what options we have with the state and to talk to the attornies.
Our first objective has been started and if you want to get involved I can steer you to the person in charge.
On a second not we are haveing some problems with Wood county as they have a permit system now like what the state had before with time limits. They are having a open meeting on Feb 13th at wisconsin Rapids somewhere I think city hall or court house at 8 am.
Would like to have a good turn out there to voice some objection to this permit system.
But like everything else I am sure hardly any will show.
Its our hobby lets stick up for it, Steve
