[Rockhounds] for those in New York City w/an interest in radioactivity

[pmodreski at aol.com]

Perhaps because in Belgium and contiguous parts of Europe, there are likely to be all sorts of leftover WWII (or older) munitions buried along the sea shores, which could present a danger to someone poking around for stuff with a metal detector?

Don't think NYPD is more paranoid than our government here in Belgium.
Here it is forbidden to use any type of metal detector outside your house (on 
beaches e.g. as I saw two weeks ago in
Oceanside, California).
Don't know why.

Jeff,

? Just out of curiosity, why would they ban detecters? It doesn't make sense,

why not ban rocks instead. What happens to radon detecters?

For any rockhounds in New York City that own radiation detectors to check on 
their radioactive specimens, you may have
to get a permit from police to own that detector. This link about a proposed law 
was posted to a medical Health
Physicist listserv...?
