I see stories of people detecting on beaches but I never hear about people asking for permission or having trouble at the airport. After quickly perusing the web, I couldn't find much answering my questions. I am wondering if I will run into issues taking my metal detector on vacation with me. I will be somewhere on Daytona Beach. My first concern arises with bringing it on a plane. I did read on a site that I should disassemble it as much as possible and throw it in luggage with the manual so the TSA agents know what they're looking at. Has anyone had any bad experiences with taking a detector on a plane?
My other concern is the beach. I have no idea how ownership works for areas near or in the water. I will be at some beach front hotel, so I don't know if people talk to the hotel, get a state permit, or just do it. Just going out and detecting has worked well for me at local parks, the police and park workers seem to have no problem with me. I feel that this is different though since it is either privately owned or state owned.
Also I can't find much info on how my ACE 200 will work in dry sandy areas. I wouldn't expect such a low end detector to work in wet sand but if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it!
