california TH'ing laws and TH'ing partner

[johnEBgood]

Ok, first things first ....hello to all ;D how is everyone?

Ok now I'm new to the hobby , I have a spectrum xlt (older one) and I'm not too sure of where to hunt in regards to the law. Obviously not the "posted no trespassing " areas although this seems to be what I constantly come into contact with . I am aware that a successful hunt is accomplished by a ton of research.

I am in the east SF bay area, castro valley to be exact and would like to find a TH'ing partner who shares the same enthusiasm for the hobby.

I've had my detector for over a year and have only managed to get out around 5 times to use it but would love to go more often.

Hey John welcome to the forum :)I don't know all the law's but demo site's are good as long as they don't say no trespassing,federal and state park's are a diffrent story some you can deteced in but you can't dig so not worth it.Some city's here have you buy a permit to detec the parks.There are quite a few guy's on here who will give you more info on that info.HH,Tom
