I am in westchester (orig from Brooklyn) and just got an Ace 250. I have a few places in mind to detect and have made attempts around where I live without much luck. If you're ever coming up to these parts, drop me a pm. - Max
New Here but from NY grew up in Brooklyn now live in Queens. I'm just getting started in this I don't even have a detector yet might buy a cheaper one from E-Bay if I get into it more ill probally get the Garret 250. Most likely for me to be detecting at Rockaway Beach & then to anyware else legal cant find straight answers regarding permits, I have contacted NYC Park dept & Nassau County clerk with no reply yet.
I'm from the Bronx is useless running from the popo. here they just shoot you on the spot. and if you happen to have a black wallet you might get tag over 2o times, so tried not to wear your favorite shirt.
