I'm fortunate that my area of KY is lax on detecting old sites, although State lands are known to be off limits and I have been asked to leave playgrounds on State Parks.....tons of history in those playgrounds you know....
Other areas of the State, near the older, historical towns are kept secured by archeologists.
It does help to know all local and state laws regarding the hobby before venturing out. I don't specifically go to a place with a knowledge of it truly being off limits, but its not unlikely that a park ranger, law enforcement or even private citizen to see our hobby as destructive when we only are enjoying our time in the outdoors with a very interesting hobby which helps to preserve history for ourselves and others to enjoy.
Excellent read! And very informative.
