I haven't eaten wild turkey in a long time. Roadkill or otherwise those pics made me HONGRY!
Minding my own business and working on my version of Muds stoop and stab technique in a Hamilton OH city owned park. When low and behold, I hear a high pitched wail...
As much as I agree with you that md'ing is harmless, yet I'm afraid that being defiant (in cases of when there's no true prohibition) might back-fire.
You have to remember these "employees" think they are the rulers of their own little park kingdoms and they let the taxpayers visit.
Perhaps here it is slightly different then in the US.
Overhere even police do not know the exact laws about metal detecting, were i know the laws about it exactly. So if one says i can't hunt if i can i will discuss it untill we have clearness.
I have had that, that police wanted to send me away, but after discussion they understood i did nothing wrong and could stay.
So i will not let me send away if i am fully allowed, not even by authorities. And i have experienced it more then once, and it never backfired on me.
At the other side. If i would have let me send away, i would have been send away (for nothing) at least tens of times. Like i said, i am no moron.
And in the case of the story in this topic. I understand madam was an office employee?
As far as i know (at least overhere) office employees have no authority to send someone away. They are not police or whatever. They may only point out at it, no more as anyone may do. They have to call in the police.
Again. I am not talking about US but about a certain country in Europe.
Again. Always friendly off course. And if your not allowed then leave quickly.

I have all park rules and regulations downloaded on my phone....
And here it is...

!!!!!(2) !!!No person shall damage, destroy, deface, or remove any part of any tree. flower, shrub or other vegetation.

And what is damage??
If in that park some kind of festival is being held then all kinds of posts, tents and stages are placed on and in the same ground, anchored in the ground with large pins, with much more damage than a neat metal detectorist. And then suddenly it is allowed?
....
The Festival goes did not go into the powers-that-be offices asking : "Hi, can we dig holes in the turf and leave damage please ?". If they had done so, then THEY TOO could have fetched "no".
Or for people to easily taking no for an answer? ....
.... No, they drive poles a yard or more deep in the ground, and more then i dig holes. More damage then when i dig....
