If you want to stay legal, you've got to do it on private land. I've heard that they are shell middens along some of the area creeks, like Oyster Creek. If my Dad hadn't accepted a transfer with Dow to Hou., we were going to have a home backing up to Oyster Creek. Ohh well, I can now only imagine what my life could've been if moving to great house on oyster Creek had become true.
