Ohio Skeleton Key Value Guide
Skeleton Key is a realistic Ohio detector target tied to cellar holes, fairgrounds, and old park strips. Rather than pretending every state has the same history, this profile frames the signal around the kinds of sites that actually produce it in Ohio: beaches, town greens, camps, farmsteads, transport corridors, or old recreation grounds.

Ohio state guide
Metal detecting in Ohio 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 park strips, farmsteads, and Lake Erie beaches.
