Today's finds at Pinchot State Park Silver 1953D $.25

Who said you cannot find silver at a state park. I was able to pull a 1953-D Washington Quarter. 45 minutes and a bunch of clad later at 4 1/2 inches I was able to pull this quarter.

Nice silver.
I'm jealous of the park hunting.
We can't hunt ANY parks in Maryland.

tymcmurray,
You may want to check with each individual MD park. Because we are only 32 miles north of the MD border so I hunt a couple State Parks and a few local parks with no problem. The Sandy Point MD State Park is home to some of the largest organized metal detecting hunts in the mid Atlantic Region. I was just at Elk Neck State Park in North East MD just a couple weeks ago. What I did was call the park and talked to the rangers station before even deciding to go there. I checked for permission and policies. The Parks policy is you are allowed to hunt the entire park. I had the person's name and the time we talked just in case. When I did see a ranger they just asked if I was finding anything. If you check this website you will see MD parks are available:
