detecting Myrtle beach

[retiredteamster]

Was just told that there are signs at Myrtle beach saying no metal detecting. Anyone know about this? Guy said he was there weekend before last and that was what he saw.
Say it ain't so. Thanks, Frank

Frank I haven't seen any signs anywhere stating you can't detect the beach. I been out almost every day along Ocean Blvd and no one told me I can't be swinging my shaft as my wife puts it.

Thank You. Don't know why the guy told me that. Maybe he wants to keep all the loot to himself. Thanks again Sand Scoop

Thanks for the information.

from City web site:
That metal detecting is permitted on the beach, but not in the dunes or in the beach access street-ends? You can use a metal detector on the beach itself, but it is illegal to climb or walk on the dunes or to break or damage sea oats or beach grass, for any reason, with penalties up to $500 and/or 30 days in jail. Metal detecting is not allowed in parks or on other city property.
