The majority of Wirral’s foreshore is owned by the Authority
They haven't officially allowed metal detecting as long as I have been detecting
There's also quite a few SSSI on the Wirral
The Dee Estuary
The Mersey Estuary
North Wirral Foreshore
Red Rocks, Hoylake
Dee Cliffs, Thurstaston
At one time you could ask a ranger if it was okay to detect
And they would unofficially turn a blind eye, a lot of the beaches are groomed anyhow
But I would guess people have pushed their luck too far
