Location limits
The cited official sources do not affirmatively identify a detecting area. Do not interpret that evidence gap as permission.
Authorization
The cited rule does not state a permit requirement for the scope summarized here. This is not proof that no other authorization applies.
The cited official material does not state a specific rule for this item.
The cited material does not fully resolve found-property reporting. Do not remove archaeological, burial, tribal, historic, or otherwise protected material; ask the land manager what must be reported.
Final check
Ask Summit Metro Parks for a written determination covering detector use, surface recovery, digging, and any permit route before visiting.
Always check current posted signs and current land-manager instructions. Rules, closures, designated areas, and permit procedures can change after the source-check date.
