Here is some more usefull
info. This was written by Alex president of the Bay Area Searchers of San
Bruno.
“I mentioned during our last meeting that I ran
into Steve Castile, Turf Manager & Golf Operations
Director, while
detecting on Big Rec recently. Naturally I felt a
little anxiety as he
approached me, but that quickly
disappeared after he immediately asked for my help whenever
I find a sprinkler by not filling the hole. It
gave me the opportunity to talk about our
club, and the service we are
providing to GGP by removing trash, and objects (e.g., hypodermic
needles) that are dangerous to
the public; especially children. He clearly had an appreciation
for what we're doing, and
he told me that we can hunt in GGP as long we're not
interfering with play on the field.
That led me to discuss the following issue:
One of the park
rangers has
been telling detectorists that we cannot detect in
GGP; more
precisely dig any holes in GGP.
Steve told me that whenever we encounter a ranger and they
ask us to leave, then we
can mention we've been given permission by the Turf Manager to
hunt GGP and ask them to
contact him on his cell phone. You might elaborate by telling them
the service we're providing
- finding sprinklers for the parks workers, and removing dangerous,
sharp metal objects. Here are
his details:
Steve
Castile
Turf
Manager / Golf Operations
Director
Cell: 415-297-1853
Tel: 415-841-0856
Naturally, if the ranger has no interest in
listening or contacting Steve then your best bet is
to follow their orders by
leaving the area. If this happens then let the club know, and then
we can consider escalating
the matter.
If you haven't
paid your dues you must at the next meeting.
