New to T-Net and to the Hobby, got some questions

[Mezrein503]

Been trying for awhile now to find out all the current laws regarding detecting on Oregon Beaches and in schools and what not. Anyone here up to date on the current standing laws? The only one I have concreate right now is that I can detect on all northern beaches, except for the Ft, past the brush line.

I've hunted up and down the coast, and my experience (and what I was told by a ranger at one site) is that all Oregon beaches are different. Some will require a permit, some won't. You just have to ask whomever is in charge.

Depends on who owns the land. First thing you need to do is figure out if the land is federal, state, county, city, or private. Then check with the owner or the correct set of laws.

Most State park beaches are off limits.

Oregon beaches are considered public property to the hi water mark. They are part of the Hwy Dept.
