50-state metal detecting intelligence

Metal Detecting in Florida State Parks

Official-source rules, permission pathways, map context and practical next steps—kept separate from the rockhounding atlas.

Florida State Park metal detecting rules and verified locations

These records apply only to verified locations whose written rule and site-specific recreation footprint have been verified. A map pin is a public visitor/reference point, never a permission boundary.

165 verified records in this scope.

Map meaning: verified coordinate pins identify independently grounded public visitor/access reference points. Query-only records can be resolved on demand as temporary provider search matches; sensitive records use a deliberately broader agency/locality query. Temporary search matches are not stored as verified coordinates. No map mode is a property boundary, detecting zone, archaeological target, or permission boundary.
