Hi everyone,

I just moved to Orange, CA. (In Orange County)

Are there any special laws/rules about metal detecting on beaches? Any good areas or beaches you recommend?

Thanks!
 
The only law I know of concerning beach hunting here in CA is -

You can hunt state parks that have beaches as long as you stay on the beach. This does not include fresh water beaches though. The okay to hunt fresh water state park beaches is left up to the discretion of the park manager.

Currently, The Federation of Metal Detector and Archaeological Clubs has the most accurate info regarding all state laws. The url for them is http://www.fmdac.org/parks/parks.htm

Hi and welcome to the forum! I think Bentfork answered your question. I am a 'bit" north of you in Santa Cruz on the Monterey Bay. Good to see another Left Coaster!:D
 
I think it was Todd, Rudy, or sctoddc....haven't been on that forum for a while...But I recognize your name from there. Met up with Paul P. aka, Los Tulares, for a few hunts in the valley.

Yeah, Paul is a pretty nice guy. One of the best researchers that I know.
