Default Howdy Everyone Newbee from SC

Hello All, I was wondering if someone from SC might share a few loop holes or bounderies I should look out for when metal detecting on public property.

Mistakes to avoid-when searching for public property or places.

any quirky laws that may get me into hot water?

Welcome to TQ. Not sure of the laws up there, but I'm sure you can hunt playgrounds and schools. That's easy pickens and good practice. Happy Hunting...Buster......

Where are you in SC?? Just do not go in State parks or confederate sites. Google SC metal detecting.

Im from the Aiken Area.. I was hoping to get into MDing. I have done a good bit of research, enough that i'm looking for reasons not to return my BH202. Sure are a lot of road blocks these days. Which makes people whom do a lot less forthcomming about places.. I am sure there are reasons and I trust there for our bennifit somehow.. However, I dont want someone looking over my shoulder either.
I understand I wouldnt want a bunch of holes every where, but there need to be some balance.

Welcome to the site, we are glad to have you on!

Yea it does seem that their are roadblocks out there. I am still new at this myself. I started out in playgrounds, parks, and my yard. I have hit school yards (Sat & Sun), and practice fields. It is more areas than you might think. These are public spaces and sometimes produce very cool finds.

Good luck to you with your decision, Beale.

Default Hey Shortgrass

Welcome to TQ . That BH 202 is a nice machine. My Brother in law has one and at 70yrs old does well with it. What everybody else said and you can try going to different events to meet folks and get permission to get on their property. Any beaches by Ya ? Don't want to see ya get rid of that detector cuz ya found TQ and thats a great find in itself. Lots of Great Folks here to help ya along so just hang in there and all will be fine.

Good Luck & HH
The TINMAN
