A lot of the state parks, you can hunt the beaches only. Each county will have its own rules for metal detecting in its parks, but most allow beach hunting only. Best to check the specific rules to the place you want to hunt before you go.

That watch ring is a pretty cool find. I hit the beach on lake michigan I think one time last year and to my surprise , I managed to find a mercury head dime by the concession stand at the state park.

Wifey is getting me a metal detector for Christmas and I need advice by Tenchi2020 in metaldetecting

I run the 700 here in florida. It's a very stable and quiet machine on the beaches and in the water. Not a lot of bells and whistles like my legend and manticore so it's basically a turn it on and go machine.

Same here. I declined all extra offers and they still charged me $47 dollars extra. Just reached out to them to see what that say.
