The rules
Fulton County's parks code has no metal-detector clause and no general dig-up/remove rule, but most parks are actually run by the city they sit in — so detecting rules depend on that city. Ask the managing city before you go.
Permit: Varies by managing city

Why detect here
Check the specific city that operates the park
Digging restricted here? A waterproof pinpointer finds a target's exact spot so you can check surface finds without cutting turf. The Garrett Pro-Pointer AT is the standard. See the Garrett Pro-Pointer AT → Detectors & gear by budget →
