Total novice from Bucks County Pa

Welcome from Chester County.

You didn't mention it one way or the other, but Nockamixon, being a state park, has lots of rules, including a permission requirement to detect from the park manager. The rules are here --

Good luck.

I call Nockamixon each time I go and when I leave. I found an old padlock, a !!!! ton of shotgun and rifle shells, 17 cents, and a old axe head (old as in 70s).

Not being able to use a shovel and only a screwdriver or other probe stinks and stops me from digging deeper targets.

I’ve also come across old transient camps, illegal deer stands and a giant black rat snake that scared the life out of me. The conservation officers have all been very nice and curious.
 
Welcome i am in Bucks County. Go to County parks office get permit to detect County parks.

Covid sucks for knocking on doors. Lots of tot lots. Every boro or township has a park. Call ahead get permission.

Good luck

I got my county permit today. It took me forever to find it on their website because the option doesn’t come up on mobile. Might go to
Lake Towhee tomorrow
