well John that about sums it up over here to, Some smart A$$ makes a ruling for a piece of ground
that they dont know exsists that they have no desire to even go there,
If they are going to render the land useless to everyday folks they might as well as use it for testing
Nukes coz whats the point of it they wont use it, We cant use it so who the hell can Angry Angry Angry

Tell me about it, but then if we were dealing with reasonable people making reasonable rules we wouldn't be dealing with the government.

Yes Mate I agree 100%, If we were talking 10 pound gold nuggets or 10 carret diamonds then they would have to
worry about you buying the state, but thats a pretty slim chance so, why I dont know,

Thank God i don't live in Florida if detecting is that much trouble. Tennessee is MUCH more lenient. We can hunt state owned land as long as we don't move a lot of dirt etc. small holes filled in are ok. Battle fields are a nono as well as historic sites but that is common sense. We are haveing trouble at the present with TVA. You need a permit to hunt but they are not issueing any. They say they are reviewing the regs and rewriting some so who knows? US forest service lands, Ask the local Ranger. He should give you permission. Just my 2cents. Grin

""Coincidentally, considering the above statute it makes me wonder where the allowance for detecting on the beach, which is state land, and getting to keep your older finds (i.e. Spanish gold/silver coins) comes from. I know I have read online that is the case, but never from anywhere official or with links to any official info. Does anyone know what statutes, case law, etc. allows this? (I know with the number of people detecting on Florida's beaches any issues would have come to light by now, it is just my overly inquisitive nature that compels me to ask why.)""

Actually it is illegal to keep Spanish gold/silver coins in Florida since they did away with the isolated finds program.  It's funny how we can't dig a small hole and refill it but large companies can bulldoze a hundred cubic yards a day with no problems.

Also, this has happened in the past.  Someone asked to detect on State land and was denied.  He told the Rangers about a treasure that might be in the area, etc..  He comes back next weekend and sees the Rangers with metal detectors.
