Beaches in Georgia

[mlayers]

Can anyone tell me about the laws about detecting on the beaches in Georgia. I am planning on a vacation at the end of March and I would like to bring my detectors. Thanks for your help.....Matt

yes. Here is the laws: You send me 30% of all your finds (I accept paypal). If you have any doubt as to that rule, just email me. And I will reply to the affirmative (then you will have it in writing). I authorize you to detect the beaches. If anyone asks "what are you doing?", you tell them "Tom_in_CA said I could". And that you're looking for the ring you lost their last night.

Any other questions ?

No detectors allowed on Jekyll island. Tybee island you can detect beaches.

Last I knew one could detect Tybee and St. Simons Islands' beaches. Almost all barrier island beaches are National Wildlife Refuges or State Wildlife Management Areas, detecting strictly forbidden, and they can only be accessed by boat anyhow. Good luck, and let us know how you did. I've never done any beach hunting, but think about it time to time.
