I agree Tim. Parks have given way to soccer fields..... people dont spend family time much any more outside. Who knows when someone will try to make a name for themselves and put the beaches off limits to detecting..... better get it now ..... at least you will be able to tell your grandkids about the good ole days.

When I was a kid, we played outside so much my Mom would ring this large cow bell to let us know it was dinner time,,,,weekends, we were always with family at the beaches, boating, and whatever
Dew, we talked about permits and bans, I will bet within a few years, MD will require a permit,,,,someday, they may put a ban on it,,,,and if they do, I will hunt at night and maybe there will be more gold to be found,,,
