Wyoming metal detecting: quick answers

Is metal detecting legal in Wyoming?

There is no single statewide yes/no answer for every public place. This database currently contains 386 verified Wyoming records, and each result depends on the managing agency, exact legal scope, recovery method, protected-resource rules and any permit or designated-zone requirement.

Do you need a permit to metal detect in Wyoming?

0 current Wyoming records have a permit/authorization signal. Other records may be prohibited, confirmation-gated, zone-restricted or governed by a different rule, so public access alone is never treated as permission.

Does every record have map access?

Yes. Independently verified coordinates appear as pins; records without verified coordinates use safe on-demand address/name navigation, and sensitive records use a broader agency/locality reference. None of these map modes represents a permission boundary.

How current is the Wyoming metal detecting database?

The newest verification date represented in the current Wyoming verified inventory is 2026-08-31. Every location page also shows its own verification date, evidence grade and official source.
