New hunter in west Michigan

[The Bounty Hunter]

Hello all from a newbie. Just looking for advice on "the rules of the game". I'm not sure where I can hunt and where I can't. Federal, private land?... I just don't know where to start. Also, once I'm lucky enough to find something that may be of value, where should I go to get an honest appraisal? Thanks to anyone who replies!

Bounty Hunter...the "rules of the game" are constantly in motion. Michigan used to be quite wide open but now the state seems to have locked down all their state park beaches restricting you to just a very small area at each that in most cases are areas that have little traffic, meaning few goodies. Michigan is quickly becoming like all the other states. I don't do federal lands though a lot of people do...again...the rules can be too confusing.

Bounty Hunter, see if there is a detecting club in your area, they can help you on where and where not to hunt. Welcome to the forums!

Thank everyone for your replies. I'm headed to AZ on Fri for a week. Taking my new detector. Can't wait to start digging.

Who do I need to contact for the rules on digging the dunes of lake MI or Federal land?

Thanks again four your replies.
