Are you allowed to metal detect there?

I would think not due to old ordnance being around, call them.

No. Local authorities will stop you. Really cool if u could.

Uncertain. For best knowledge, contact Fort Monroe Authority. The island has joint ownership. The state of Virginia and Department of Interior. Hope this helps.

The only place to metal detect legally in Virginia is in National Forests or on private property. Technically it's illegal to metal detect VA Beach but they don't bother you if you do it.

Probably not since there are munitions still buried. Fort Monroe authority is who should ask

I don't believe you can metal detect 😕

If not sure on that one. I agree with Michael on the old ordnance thing. Don't want to set anything off mistakenly

I'd agree, most likely not, they have signs everywhere stating anything found must be turned in to the offices since it was a weapons area at one time

Buckroe beach allows it. Check with the Rangers office locater at the EXIT of the museum.

When I was stationed here as an MP we had to stop people from detecting. There's everything from old musketballs to unknown ordinances in some areas.
