What permits do metal detectorists need?

Federal lands (National Parks) prohibit metal detecting. State parks vary. Most public property requires inquiry. Battlefield parks have strict regulations. Always seek written permission.

What are the best locations for metal detecting?

Old homestead sites, colonial-era parks, beaches after storms, and fairgrounds are historically productive. Sites with documented human activity before 1900 offer the best potential for valuable finds.
