Important! Laws pertaining to Metal Detecting.
Hi all
I don't know where it disappeared to but I was sure I did a thread on MDing laws and 'stickied' it !!!
Anyway, here it is again.
If anyone is aware of any changes to these laws please post a reply to update us all. I am aware that the law in FRANCE has now changed and been made even stricter than before. You can now not even obtain permission to search in certain areas and even being in possession of an MD in some regions is a criminal offence.
Anyway, here are a couple of links to MD law in European countries. If someone has a link to MD laws in USA states, please post a link.
European Laws
Detecting Law
Both appear to have the same information but in a slightly different format :D
Please be aware that laws can change at any time and you may not be aware of the changes. I would advise on checking with the appropriate authorities prior to visiting any country in Europe.
Happy hunting !

PS One last thing. Many countries have laws pertaining to DIGGING up objects but not necessarily the use of MDs. Therefore the act of digging a hole is the bit we're interested in. Many countries have laws pertaining to the land that do NOT apply to the beach. For example France have strict laws relating to the land, but these do not apply to beaches, hence you can use an MD on a beach.
Check the law in the country you're going to to be sure. Remember that ignorance is no defence in the eyes of the law !

British Officers greatcoat
Hi Guys, as Frenchy was asking about greatcoats I thought it might be helpful to show one of mine.
This is a British Officers private purchase greatcoat. The quality is superb, as one would expect from a top "Savile Row" maker. Savile Row is a street in London and is still the place to buy very expensive top quality hand made garments. The company still exsits but merged with another tailors to become Gieves & Hawkes. If you fancy a suit from them today, prices start at £3,500.
The greatcoat is for an Officer in the Royal Artillery and has brass buttons with RA insignia.
The label has a inked marked "4/46". This may well be the date of April 1946. The coat has had the three rank pips of Capt, but now only has the two pips of a Lt. It is not unknown for Officers to be temporarly promoted and then be brought back down a rank.
Cheers, Ade.

The Dangers of Battlefield Digging
We've all heard stories of the dangers of battlefield digging. Unexploded ammo, mines, etc....
As a relatively new enthusiast, i would greatly appreciate some advice on detecting and digging on battlefield sites.
many thanks gentlemen.
