New to the site. Mostly just looking for information - tools, techniques, tips, etiquette, laws, etc. Planning a beach trip and I have access to a detector to play with. Just want to make sure I go about it the right way.
I'm in North Alabama and going to Fort Morgan next month. I had a detector when I was about 10 (a Zebco (?) Mustang) back around 1970. Never found anything but scrap metals. My BIL got a detector last Christmas and we searched in my backyard. Found a couple of pennies (not old) and 2 mini balls plus a handful of screws, nails, pull tabs, unidentifiable scrap.
Having a hard time finding info on detecting on Alabama beaches. Heard everything from completely illegal everywhere to don't dig at the beach at the fort at Fort Morgan.
