Alabama state guide
Metal detecting in Alabama 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 mill villages, Civil War ground, and Gulf beaches.
