cemetaries

Tig,

Where I'm from in Illinois some of the cemeteries that are taken care of by some of the locals, they will allow you to detect in SOME areas. I have a cemetery near my home that the oldest headstone reads in the 1850's and there are two gravel roads that go through the cemetery and one old wooden bridge that they believe was put in around 1880. The caretaker told me I was welcome to detect along the road away from the graves and around the old 1840's era church, and also in and around the old bridge where a small freshwater stream ran through. I have found some IH's some wheaties, and some silver, but nothing to special. I also found some brass knobs from maybe the original church and some buttons. If the cemetery is owned by the state or taken care of by any type of government you're better off staying out, however if there is a "local" caretaker then you could have great possibilities.
Good luck!!
