The MDAW is an active organization of metal detecting clubs and individuals throughout Washington State working to promote recreational metal detecting for the public.

A project being worked on at this time is trying to get state parks to open more areas within the designated state recreational lands to recreational metal detecting.

Having completed an educational workshop with staff from the archerological preservation office of Washington State. We have what we feel is a good working relationship and are working to keep it that way.

On the folowing pages you will find many parks and other areas that may be open to metal detecting. Always make sure that an area is ok to detect.
