Metal Detecting at Lake Blackshear (Crisp County Power Commission)
Crisp County · South Georgia · Utility lake

The rules
Lake Blackshear is owned and managed by the Crisp County Power Commission, not the state, so the state-land detecting ban does not apply; the Commission publishes recreation guidance but NO metal-detecting rule, and hunting/fishing follow Georgia DNR. The shoreline and lakebed are utility-owned, so get the resource manager's permission before detecting and treat adjacent lots as private land.
Permit: No published detecting rule — ask the Crisp County Power Commission resource manager first
📞 Call ahead: 229-273-3811 (confirm the current rule before you go)
