While researching local swimming holes, a question popped into my head. If you have access to a swimming area through a private parcel, or by a state beach or boat launch, can you theoretically go around the entire body of water (fresh water pond/lake) and detect as long as egress is in the same spot that you entered?
Back when I did a lot of bass fishing, dock owners would come out and give us heck once in a while claiming we were too close to their dock/swimming area. Popular opinion was they didn't have any right to the water around their dock as long as we stayed off of the dock. Is it the same with detecting in the water (touching/digging bottom), as long as you stay off the dock and don't try to exit through their property?
If you don't have the right to go all the way around the lake, then at what point in the water or you trespassing onto the neighbor's property?
