California Prospector's Token Signal Guide
Prospector's Token is a realistic California detector target tied to gold-rush camps, mountain resorts, and alpine trailheads. Rather than pretending every state has the same history, this profile frames the signal around the kinds of sites that actually produce it in California: beaches, town greens, camps, farmsteads, transport corridors, or old recreation grounds.

California state guide
Metal detecting in California is usually governed by who manages the ground rather than by one blanket statute. Municipal beaches and local parks may allow it, while archaeological sites, battlefields, historic structures, and many state park units are restricted or off limits. That matters in surf beaches, mission-adjacent parks, and gold-rush camps.
