Metal Detecting in New York

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!

I just purchased it and yes I will let you know when Im headed to the area. Ive detected a lot of older parks here in CT and cant find any old silver. Ive found a few Indian heads and various rings and old buttons but I always fall short. It seems I win more silver in my metal detecting club raffles than I find but Im persistent. Appreciate the link!
