jcbroj9 reports:

 
Just called the pa.s
dept. of state parks yesterday and got a reply on metal detecting in them,
And I Quote:
We allow metal detecting in state parks, But you must check in with the park office to let them know that you are there and where you would like to search. end quote:
They frown upon detecting around old foundations of buildings because they want to preserve the historical aspects of the area archeaologist could and will stop to ask questions,( hang on to your equipment and cash), be sure not to detect on park beaches during peak seasons, they want the campers etc. to enjoy their time there.
If you find anything over a hundred years old, you must take it to the park office and tell them where it was found, they will determine if you will be allowed to keep the find. (archaeologist again).
Hope this clears up questions as to t-hunting in Pa. State Parks.
PERMISSION,PERMISSION,PERMISSION !

This has been hashed over and over.

To the most parts, State Parks are a NO , NO.

All are not equal.

If that particular one will let you, Be Happy and Go for it.

To the Most Parts, State Parks are a NO , NO!  I posted this someplace back when.

There is only one here in New Mexico that says OK!

I will not state what one in fear of having them tern it off.

I will say it is around a Lake, South, and has Bears!

It definitely varies from state to state.  Unfortunately, Pennsylvania is in the minority.   Florida allows metal detecting in its beach parks.   Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona do not allow detecting in state parks (with rare exceptions).   But since this board is for Pennsylvania, it is nice to know that it is legal (for now so long as you follow the guide lines).
