The general consensus in MI is one of common sense.
That being, unless specifically prohibited or posted, MI state lands are open to detecting as it is a recognized recreational activity, as long as you are not destroying property or plant life, and are not removing "aboriginal native american" remains and relics.
Now state "parks and recreation areas" are on an individual basis, and you need to check at the park office.
Most parks allow it, but they have specific areas that it IS prohibited.
I would check at a park office if there is one.
City, local, county or municipal parks and recreation areas are the same. Most of them allow it, but you need to check.
Just a word of advice.
I am NOT advocating "Rogue Detecting" here, but if it is open to other recreational activities, and there is nobody "stationed" there, (a city park for example) and it is not posted 'no detecting" I would go ahead and detect as long as you leave it like you found it.
You go asking at city Hall or somewhere, and they will reflexively say "no" and that ruins it.
If somebody SEES you doing, they will see that you are being responsible and will leave you alone.
And private property, well, that's just a no brainer.
Ask permission.
Happy Hunting.
