Looks like metal detectors start out around $250 and can cost thousands. What are the Best Metal Detectors? (According to our Customers)
Can people go into mountains, forrests, parks and metal detect or do you have to get permission from city and forrest ranger?
A good entry level detector would be a whites m6, fisher f4, Those are around $400.00 $600.00 Most people start off with a ace 150 cost around $150.00 then move on up to something better.
Watch "The Dectorists" on Nextflix. Truly a lot of fun and you learn some cool things about the craft.
The way our crazy laws are. I would definitely get permission. I hunt parks, schools, and private property. Those areas are pretty much a go.
I haven't seen any "no metal detectors allowed signs" at any of the parks I've been to; however, some park officials may get upset if you start digging holes looking for stuff.
