All depends on the homeowner, most will let you keep what you find. I don’t think I’d hunt a property where the homeowner excepts me to give them everything I find unless it was a historical place and it was going in a museum, or some sort of family heirloom like grandma’s ring or something. Kinda like giving someone permission to deer hunt on your property and expecting them to give you the deer.

I have only hit the beaches a few times but coincidentally I found this ring at Scarborough last week

I’ve had good luck in some of the public south shore fields too, just hoping to expand onto some unhunted private property….getting sick of digging shotgun shells by the bucket load.

RIGL 32-2-4 covers DEM park and management area regulations. Section 1.10(c) says it’s only allowed in designated areas during specific times but does not define what they are. I’ve always taken it to mean beach outside their normal operating hours and management area agricultural fields outside the growing seasons, and never had issues. Just remember from September to basically May if you’re in a state management area you are required to wear orange as they are used for hunting. I’ve asked a few few of the state parks managers for permission and been told no.
