Florida Metal Detecting

Florida is a metal detectorist’s paradise – thousands of miles of beaches, Spanish shipwreck history, Civil War sites, and century-old tourist towns all hiding treasure beneath the surface. Beach detecting after storms can be especially productive along Florida’s Atlantic coast and Gulf shores. Rules vary significantly by location – public beach access doesn’t mean detecting is permitted, and Florida has specific regulations around shipwreck artifacts and submerged cultural resources.
