This is nuts that we pay taxes and can’t use our metal detectors on “dnr” land … last I checked state owned land belongs to the PEOPLE

Return metal detecting back to the people. this is a great family hobby that my kids have enjoyed.

Yes we should be able to metal detect on state property and riverways as long as we leave it as found

Wow in the pledge of the allegiance it says "The land of the free" come on DNR this is America

I would like to continue to use the parks the way it was. It was working fine. This I feel ...is a infringement of my rights and I will fight for this all the way. I pay taxes for these parks and the people running them are public servants who should be protecting my rights. Not taking them away... I am upset about this. Rodney Wieck

I have used my metal detector at Devils Lake around 20 years ago , I got permission from one of the Rangers , He checked my Equipment to see that I had a core remover and not a shovel ,I found a couple nickles and did not leave a trace of disturbed soil , I( can just imagine the mess some people would leave with out a core remover , at the same time I feel metal detecting should be allowed providing the the person has the right equipment to remove and replace a soil plug without doing damage to the area , after all we have to pay for a park sticker and most of us do less damage then your everyday visitor or camper

No need to repeat what many before me already addressed clearly!

I thought this was America!
