Sorry for the newbie question,
In searching my local area for metal detecting locations, I have found a couple of reasonably old populated locations. One location i`m eyeing off is a park with a big old fig tree in the middle. there is photos and articles about this fig tree dating back to early 1800s. Today there is a "Historic Plaque" there and a small grass area beside it with a old kids playground in the middle of a town.
Where do we stand legally (or morally) about digging somewhere like this? obviously small filled in holes but i know as soon as someone sees me they will confront me.
Any advice is greatly appreciated
Here is a pic of the location
