Every beach in California is open to the public up to the mean high tide level (average of the high tides). So if you can get there from the water, tidelands, or an adjacent beach, you are legally allowed to be there as long as you don’t venture onto the land above where an average high tide would be.
At least you're not finding all pull tabs, Robert. hahaha and with that Rent-A-Cop, I would have challenged him and asked for him to call a real cop. Fight For Your Right To Metal Detect!!!
Here's what I found out about metal detecting California beaches: A permit is not required. Digging is strictly prohibited, except in beach areas (Edgewater Beach, Euclid Beach, Villa Angela Beach, Huntington Beach, Perkins Beach, Wallace Lake, and Hinckley Spillway area only), where metal detecting is permitted during the non-swimming season only (from October 1 to May 15).'
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but one night last year I was told to leave a so. Ca beach just as I arrived. It was a police officer, and he said that only authorized workers are allowed anywhere on the beach at times when the beach is closed to the public. No exceptions. I left the beach and went back to my car and called the city police and was told that every city has its own laws and ordinances for their beaches. The shift commander checked the city's website, and so did I. There were NO exclusions stated for fishermen or metal detectorists on the city's beaches. So a police officer in that city can legally tell any metal detectorist to leave the beach when it's closed.
The flags were flying at half staff in honor of fallen firefighters. ❤️🔥. Saturday was International Firefighters Day and Sunday was the designated day for flying the flag at half staff.
Hey Robert, I’m a new explore/ prospector in the east fork San Gabriel river. VI was wondering if you ever found or heard of any gold being found to the right of the white bridge going up camp Bonita Prairie forks road?
I probably would’ve been looking for trouble. I would’ve made him call the cops. I get why you didn’t however I don’t like when people tell me what to do when they don’t have the authority to do it and it really bothers me when people do that, but you did make a better decision than I would have.
90% of the time there's a reason their a security guard and not a cop, im pretty sure your right on the tideline, and the girls stripping and juming in water, i think there's a shark movie in there somewhere.

print out a copy of the law and put it in your car
Yeah don't let them push you around. This is a free country. Well it used to be. That's very questionable these days.
It may vary by state, but I've always heard that "Below the high tide line" is public access. I mean how else are you going to get past private areas?

That security guard was a son of a beach
⛱️
Nice hunt thanks for sharing!!!!!
I would have ignored him and kept hunting
Can’t a man dig a hole on the beach…I thought this was America

Private security cant kick you off a public beach. Not sure on the high or low tide stuff.

You should have told that rent-a-cop to pound sand!!!
Yea you sand pounder! Pound it
I'm sure you had a phone on you...Why didn't you call the cops... Put Barney Fife in his place...
That is so wrong! Rent a cops suck!
Tell him to pound sand 😂
What beach was it?
You realize the course in order to get to the tide line you have to go across the beach this is the part that is trespassing
