Welcome to TQ! I agree with what Buster said - as far as I've seen, you're OK on open beaches...but again, as Buster said - Pris and John are resident experts - and I'm sure they'll jump in here shortly...happy hunting!

Paul is Dead (formerly My Detector Smokes) is another member from that area and he hunts the beaches there all the time. Just watch out for the tractors with the rakes! I hear they are vicious!

Don't know about CA, but in MD I know of one that's off limits between Memorial and Labor Days, and there's also a few off limits at the Outer Banks of NC.

Was camping in an area north of San Francisco.. Asked the Ranger about detecting on the beach.
Her answer was "no problem as long as your not trying to make a living out of it."
Once I was able to get my breath back and wipe the tears from my eyes from laughing so hard, God I love humor like that, I said "No problem, if I had to live off what I found I'd be making tomato soup from hot water and ketchup on a good day.."
Anyway, less Orange County has it's own rules, remember your talking California here, beaches seem good to go.
