Hunting the Charleston Area

[BigMESA]

Hey guys,

Im in Summerville and haven't been living in the area that long so I don't know a whole lot about the area. I am having a hard time finding public places (besides the beach) that I can metal detect on. I contacted Charleston City about detecting the parks and I was told I cannot metal detect in City Parks or on City Property. So now that leaves me with no clue as to where to turn to except Private Property.

So does anyone know anywhere I can go and swing my coil that I don't need permission for

Thanks and message me if you want a hunting partner!

What parks are you hunting at? Have you never been approached by a cop? I am trying to get a copy of the prak regulations so I can read it and not let someone BS me.

Want a hunting partner?

You won't have problems on the beaches except that they're probably getting crowded now. Just be careful about parking. I've heard that Folly Beach has recently been renourished so I would stay away from there and go to Isle of Palms. Best of luck. BTW, the laws about hunting on Charleston City property are correct. It is not allowed, anywhere or anytime. Used to be a long time ago and I had some great times way back then. No more. So it's either the beaches or private property and I sure wouldn't tresspass. I live on James Island, not far from Folly Beach, and we used to find many Civil War relics on Folly in addition to the coins and gold jewelry. But no more. The continuous renourishment projects keep things at a bare minimum. Not really worth the time.
