Under a new reg to take effect July 1, 2014, Metal Detecting is now banned at all MA State Parks and State Ocean Beaches. Except by issuance of a special permit to locate a lost personal article. Also banned is the carrying of firearms in most State Parks. Penalties include fines and banishment from State Parks for a period of one year. Persons who are banned, are subject to arrest.
Audio devices such as radios, TV's etc. also need a special permit for use.
I wonder what rule the state will enforce!!!!!!!
Us and our hobby have now been elevated to Criminal Status.
