Spring break should be in full swing next week...lots of drops, but also big crowds! I plan to detect at night with a headlamp.

Go by and see your local dealer. Phil at Meyers Metal Detectors is a great guy and he may help you with some tips and tricks. Ask to see his good luck shorts!!

We've got "trashy" beaches if you like to dig a lot (good targets mixed in), and areas that are almost sterile due to all the searching.

sounds like here. minus the good targets. :/

Hey all. Im new to the forum but have been in the NPR area for 5 years. I just bought my first metal detector while on vacation in michigan. After reading some of the laws for MDing in our area i have been discouraged a little. I was wondering if you guys could tell me if you have been hunting private or public areas. I dont need specific locations.

We have been mding all around west michigan for the past week and a half and no one has bothered us, but after reading some other posts about west florida and florida in general i am afriad it wont be so easy.

Thanks for the input,
Russ

You'll never run out of places to hunt down here, Russ...state parks and a lot of county property are pretty regulated, but the parks in the cities I've hunted in have caused me no problem, nor have I found any local cities with rules banning MDing. Have fun...HH!

Hi Russ,

I am also located in Pasco County. As far as I know, hunting county parks in Pasco County is prohibited. However, you are only a short drive from other counties such as Hillsborough and Pinellas which I believe allow metal detecting. I have mostly hunted private property (with permission) and try to stay off public land. Good luck!
