Was wondering if anyone could tell me about the laws pertaining to metal detecting on state land in a designated state forest. Or point me in the right direction to find out. Thanks for any help you can give
Basically you can't remove anything from sate land. I don't think anyone would bother someone on the beach with a metal dtector but I guess they could. New York has a law, I confess I am not very familiar with, that protects historic sites. I guess the biggest problem is with people taking things from old shipwrecks. So, I suppose if you found a valuable item on state land or waters, maybe even off, that has some historical significance you could be in real trouble.
