One of the fastest growing past times in America is using metal detectors. This is something fun that you can do with your family and your friends. You can also do it by yourself for a little bit of down time. You never know what you are going to find, so that makes it very fun. However, one question that gets asked a lot is, “How do I find some land to detect on?” This is a great question, because you are not allowed to go out and detect on just any land you see. The good news is that there are a few places that you can go that allow you to detect on their land.

How Do I Find Some Land
Whenever you get into metal detecting you are more than likely going to start off on your own land until you figure out how to use it. Of course, there is only so much you are going to find on your own land, so now that brings up the question, “How do I find some land to detect on?” First of all, we have to point out that this is a very good question, because you can not detect and dig on all the land that you come across. So when looking for land to detect on there are a few places you can rule out right away. First of all, you can not detect on federal land unless you have permission from the government. Also, you can not detect on other people’s private property unless you have their permission. Pretty much what that means is that you can not go digging up your friend’s back yard just for the fun of it. You have to get the person’s permission first. This rule also goes for schools and colleges.
