Metal detecting novice

Just "inherited" a detector. Played around with it today in the back yard and found a few cool things. Thinking about finding a local park tomorrow.
What are some rules/laws/regulations I need to be aware of? Will be going around the BR area (more specifically Baker/central tomorrow)

I started metal detecting about a year ago. Just don't trespass on private property.
Most parks allow metal detecting as long as you fix your hole. Dig a nice plug and you can't even tell someone dug that spot.
Baker has a few old civil war battle sites. Can't dig on a federal battle site, but if you're lucky you can get permission from a neighbor to detect their fields.
What kind of detector do you have?

Make sure you check everyone's genitals for metal on the zipper. With all of this Obamacare nonsense, YKK started cheaping out on their materials and you need to caveat emptor them

My boys have a couple of them ands they are fun. I used one to find a bolt and nut that flew out of my hand on the back deck off into the grass. Worked very well for me.

I've had one for a number of years now and really enjoy getting out and swinging the coil. I have a whites XLT and a Del Soro. My best find so far was an 1827 Large Cent. The problem is finding places to go and and getting permission. We used to go to the fair grounds and see who could find the most pennies. At one time there was a good detecting club in the area.
