Many. A lot. Whole bunch. Several.
I am from Deep South Texas but in June of 2020 I will be traveling to Marysville, Washington and staying for 2 weeks. I will be staying with a friend that does not detect. I will ship my detector and accessories to him before I leave. I have no ideas what the laws are in Washington or in Marysville. I am 70 and will not be able to do any long hikes or over rough terrain. I would like to do some schools or parks to take up some of my time there. I would love to hear from you guys that live in that area with any suggestions on where I can and where I can not detect. Thank!

James, been detecting in WA state now for almost 30 years,
and never once have I had an issue.

Marysville is not one of the older areas in the state, but
you're not far from Snohomish and other areas that could
yield silver.

Have fun!
