I live in Connecticut and have been waiting for Jan 1 2024 to apply for a NY State Metal Detecting Permit online. It will be rough driving 2 hrs but Id sincerely like to try some of the parks and beaches. Do I just need to one permit from the NY state site or are there individual permits required for each county? If Lou or Merrill or anyone else could give me the short answer on this, Id appreciate it greatly! I just joined not one but two detectorist clubs here in CT but they seem more like social clubs than anything and there is no talk of actual live digs just seeded hunts which can be fun but I need more... thanks everyone.

Long Island you need a Metal Detecting permit seperate from the NYC permit. If you come to Long Island, Let us know!
NY state parks I believe you need seperate permission from each one and some need permits. NYC has a permit that needs to be renewed every year for only certain parks and beaches. The 2024 isn’t up yet but here is a link to guide you. It can be done over the computer now

Appreciate the links I submitted the permit application....fingers crossed
I'm not sure there is a short version as far as the State goes.
