Metal Detecting In Alabama State Parks
Metal Detecting In Alabama State Parks
It shall be unlawful for any person to use any metal detection device in any State Park for the purpose of finding and removing, from said park, any items that are not his/her personal possessions without permission from the Park Manager.
Many state parks do allow metal detecting on the swimming beach, but ask first. Some parks like De Soto, are not friendly.
