I went to the link and found the places that allow MDing but could not find how much the permits are? Anyone know?

How about rural public beaches off the Mississippi and beaches of the rural lakes that feed into the river? Private beaches are obviously off limits without permission. What about smaller tributary streams? One thing I read stated that streams are public (i.e. you can canoe on them with no problem) but another stated small streams are private property. By 'small stream' I mean one that has a name on the maps and is navigable by at least a canoe.

Hey rad I've paddled a lot of rural streams and the last thing you want is to stir up somebody's cows without them knowing you were going to be there. Yeah a few trips have been broken up by folks who had okay stretches and no-go stretches running through their property on those very small feeder streams. No biggie unless you know there's a valid point of interest along one of those stretches.

Doesn't do a lot of good to hit the uninteresting stretches unless you just want to go paddling where no one else has.

My yard, My neighbors yards cause I have hunted them already.

Any place I planted a large brass planchet that says " If found metal detecting call ######## for 2 silver dimes "

What hurts everyone are the people that go detecting with these shovels instead of smaller digging tools and they leave these large craters that never really heal well.Also the shows like American digger I think they call it. Too many amateurs out there make it bad for the hobby.

No metal detecting allowed in Bushnell,Illinois. KAREN/s seen to that.

The entire town? What kind of law did they enact?

I think if you use a spade the right way you leave less damage than a smaller tool. You make a large divot easy to put back in place. But in some areas the optics of a large digging tool may draw too much attention. All depends on how neat of a digger you are, with any tool.
