Is metal detecting legal in state parks?
State parks do not have one national rule for metal detecting. Some state park systems allow it only in designated recreation areas, some require a permit, and many ban it because of archaeological or natural-resource concerns. The accurate answer is that state-park rules are park-system specific and sometimes even unit specific. If the site has historic structures, protected dunes, battlefields, or archaeological sensitivity, the rule is usually stricter than on a normal city beach or school field.
