we finally got the word that the parks commission is opening up designated spots for us to detect. i honestly cant believe we pulled this off together. keep an eye on the official parks site for the new rules so we can show them we knew what we were doing …

Metal detector folks do way more good than harm, they remove the metal trash that people get cut on and they remove lead from the waterways that harm not only fish but also people.
This will be good for Texans
Dumb law, usurping peoples good times and explorations.
We need to open our parks to detecting no telling what kind of artafacts we could find

Since Texas game licenses, tax dollars, and park fees support the park operation, designated areas should be allowed for responsible detecting from citizens such as myself that pay into the system.
We also need to open up all of the Texas beaches.....
Please allow recreational metal detecting in all Tx State Parks
I believe that the house should pass a bill that the people of Texas should have the right to metal detect in state parks
Please allow the use of metal detectors in state parks!
Yes indeed they should allow metal detecting in State Parks, after all, it is with Public funds that these Parks were bought and maintained with. At the same time Public Beaches should also be opened up.
Since mostly giving up hunting game animals,I now do my hunts with a detector.new sites like state parks to search would be a great addition to our hobby.
detecting is not going to destroy anything, but it does keep young kids out of trouble, gives them something to do and can be very educating.
I am a senior there seems to more an d more things being taken away. If you want us to check in with the park ranger that's ok. Punish the people that don't and confiscate there equipment if they don't follow the rules but don't ruin it for the one's that do follow the rules.
There is a need that detectorist remove trash items that can injure Park goers
I am nearly 60 and my 82-year-old mother and I Metal detect for recreation and exercise.
Metal detecting can be a fun family activity. Activities such as metal detecting can give the youth of Texas a fun way to be interested in the States history, geology, and to pick up unwanted garbage.
Should be allowed. Like to get updates.
I am learning and need places to practice.
My wife and I are retired and we just moved to Texas. We enjoyed recreational metal detecting in the Michigan state parks back home. It gave us an outside hobby that let us enjoy the outdoors. I hope that Texas will open up recreational metal detecting in the future. It is a very enjoyable pass time.
I hope the our law makers can allow for people to use metal detectors in specific areas in our State Parks.
