Lab 10,979 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Whats the legalities if you find something of serious worth on someones property. Can you claim it as yours or do you say you found it in your back garden... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve66 3,127 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Spend more time tecting than hunting these days , usaully use a c scope 3mx for land and a minelab soveriegn for the beach Thinking of having a change after christmas maybe buying a tesoro hawkeye or a gmp Anyone wanting to start , you wont go wrong with a garret ace good machines for the money Was any members at the rally last weekend when the 200 plus gold sovs where found ? a right result Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mangy1983 51 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I have always wondered what it would be like to use a mine detector on one of the d-day beaches but I'm sure something like that would be illegal in respect to the dead. cheers Callum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve66 3,127 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Do you mean a metal detector on the normandy beaches ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mangy1983 51 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Do you mean a metal detector on the normandy beaches ? Yes I'd imagine the metal detector would be going off constantly! cheers Callum Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 23,973 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I'd imagine the metal detector would be going off constantly! You can disc a load of the crap out callum,you still get false signals but you learn to read them,most decent machines nowadays have variable-disc or tone and ID meters,I do the thames sometimes which is filled with mineralisation and iron,still find stuff,its illegal to detect in france I think?Some other euro countries as well,sweden was one of them.
