Where Is the Best Place to Metal Detect?
There is almost no limit to where you can go metal detecting as long as you're on public lands such as city parks and public beaches. If you're on your personal property, you'll only need permission from yourself. If you're on private lands, you'll want permission first from the owner. The property owner may have conditions that everything found must be shared. Still, you don't need an official license as long as you have permission.

Whether you're a coin hunter looking for antique coins or want to try your hand at gold prospecting, you should consider a metal detector.
