The rules
Spartanburg County Parks rules list metal detectors among items prohibited in playgrounds and athletic pods; they are not banned park-wide, so detecting is effectively limited to other areas of county parks. Standard rules against damaging turf and park property still apply.
Permit: Not required; banned only in playgrounds and athletic pods

Why detect here
Detecting general county-park grounds away from playgrounds and athletic fields; call the parks office to confirm a specific 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 →
