    though I had some problem with sea water It also czcams.com/users/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn

      +Digger D While that is certainly possible, it's more a sign of a lack of funding to your local public beaches and parks. As politicians defund our parks, you will see more permits/fees. A sign of the shifting tax burden from corporations and the wealthy to the middle and working class in the form of permits/fees.

      +Cull Silver Where I live you have to have a permit to dig on your own land. You only "own" the top part and anyone can by the rights to anything under you if you don't buy them first.
      Can not bury anything (animal, human, or time capsule) on your land without a permit. As far as I know you can plant trees and bushes without a permit so that's something I guess or I've broke the law.
      You have to register with the courthouse if you want to build a shed, any kind of shed, if you want a mower shed or wood shed you better get the permit
      Built a tin shed from lowes on my old property some time back and a tax adjuster come by, shed was a 6x4 and about 5 foot tall in the middle and sloped down to 4.5 foot on the side. costed something like $300 I think. That shed added $10,000 value to my property and raised the amount of taxes I had to pay at the end of the year.
      But you don't have to register your fire arms.
      If you are late on child support the order of permits taken from you are as followed, first you loose your driver's license, if you get further behind you loose your fishing license, and if you still don't pay you loose your hunting license.

      He was nice and all but what is the point of a permit if it's free?...... If they were missing out on revenue then maybe? But it costs the tax payers money for them to issue free permits. I had to get it from the office so that means we the people paid for the persons 10 minutes of time, printer ink, paper, electricity and the Ranger to enforce the free permit. So the Ranger probably makes $20 and hour. The clerk maybe $15. Plus the truck the Ranger was driving. This may have cost tax payers $10 to $15? How many time a year does this happen?

    I was into the metal detecting hobby for about a 10 year period starting 1983 to about 1993. I was using a "Heathkit" metal detector made from a kit. It pinpointed amazingly because it had a small search head. If you had been into this hobby back in the early eighties there was pre 1965 silver coins GALORE still in the ground. Most of them no deeper than 4 inches.

I believe it's a yearly permit meaning you need to list every relic you find to get a new permit issued. Well that's what's listed on the application for the permit so you're doing this to help them while paying them to do an innocent hobby or career. Don't get me started on lost jewelry you also have to report it and help the nearest police precinct in finding the "Proper Owner".
