Metal detecting is permitted at more than 30 state parks throughout Washington. Users of metal detectors must register first with Washington State Parks and comply with posted regulations. The registration form, rules, and a list of parks that allow detecting may be found online in the Metal Detecting in Washington State Parks brochure (PDF), or by calling park staff at 360-902-8500 or from the Washington Telecommunications Relay Service at 800-833-6388. You also may complete the registration form online.
Metal detecting areas vary in each park. Some parks allow detecting in developed public-use areas and unoccupied campsites, while other parks allow detecting in specific areas only. See below to view or print maps showing areas open to metal detecting.

CTC PROUDLY SUPPORTS THE MDAW. The Metal Detecting Association of Washington was started to promote, protect and preserve recreational metal detecting here, in the State of Washington. Some of the concerns related to detecting in this state are unique to the Pacific Northwest. As a group we strive to work with hobbyists, in clubs or not, who want to enjoy metal detecting, follow the rules set down about the hobby and in some cases help to change those rules. The MDAW works in cooperation with the Office of Historical and Archaeological Preservation of Washington State and Washington State Parks.
