Hi
I live in Abington, Pa and I asked at Fort Washington State Park as well as Tyler State Parks and got yes's for detecting.
You can also do the county parks in Bucks County if you are a resident. The parks office is located in Langhorn, Pa. All you have to do is obtain a free permit and several parks including Core Creek are yes's excluding the historical areas. I unfortunately cannot go to those parks because I live in Montgomery County.
If you ever want to chat about metal detecting or meet to detect together, you can contact me at 215-921-0700. I have been doing it for about 10 years and I am really hooked. I go as often as I can go. I just started doing some research and I have started asking permission to go to older places in person. I tried asking permission over the phone, but people were not very trusting.
Good Luck and happy hunting.
