I am planning a trip to the Galveston, TX area next month. Are the public beaches in the Galveston area open to detecting? Permit required? Preliminary research indicates that detecting in Texas state parks is prohibited without a permit. Are permits issued upon request or do I need to be a state archaeologist? There are numerous Youtube videos showing beach detecting in Texas, but there is no discussion if permission is required. Insight and recommendations are appreciated.
