Hello all. I am a Soldier stationed at Carlisle Barracks. I am receiving my Garret Ace 250 tomorrow. In the meantime I have discovered this website and have been attempting to learn as much as I can by all my soon to be fellow hobbyists.
I have also taken the initiative to contact the local boroughs to find out where I may detect without issues. So far so good. The Carlisle Borough of Parks and Recreation has given me free access to their properties as long as I am responsible and cleanup. I have heard horror stories of irresponsible people ruining the hobby for others, and of local city governments punishing all for a few bad apples. I am determined not to be one of those.
I have already been practicing cutting semicircular and v plugs so as to not kill the grass and ruin the landscapes. I also sent a letter to the garrison commander seeking permission to search in specific areas on post. I wont hold my breath but he did acknowledge my request. He will probably have to run it through legal which will come back with something about the Antiquities Act as it is Federal property.
I would love to hear from those in the South Central PA area and I look forward to soon be sharing my own finds, opinions and advice. - John
