Heading to New York

[mlayers]

Taking a vacation at the end of this month and into July. Heading to Buffalo first then over to New York City. I was wondering if there is any place to detect land or water. Can meet up with someone for a few hours for a park or beach hunt......Matt

Inside New York City you need a special permit. The permit is free, but you cannot get it same-day. You are still restricted to certain days and areas in parks that allow detecting, and other parks are completely off limits (Central Park).

If you stay close to Kennedy Airport. You could head down cross bay blvd towards Rockaways. The first bridge crossing water there's a parking lot on either side of road on south side of bridge. The east lot the shallow water is great for coin shooting the India, people are always throwing/offerings to what ever god.
The south side the water is deeper and more common for Jewelry or floating chicken heads from the Santaria crowd on Sundays.
Jamaica Bay is a Gateway National Park so above high water mark there rules would apply.
