The rules
State-park rule: detecting only in the beach zone the park manager designates (toe of dune to high-water line), never in the water; anything 50+ years old must be turned over — and on the 1715 Fleet coast that means any Spanish coin. Call the park first.
Permit: Verify with park
📞 Call ahead: 772-468-3985 (confirm the current rule before you go)
