collingwood21 collingwood21 Another excellent review Robin, and as an archaeologist I always welcome people promoting ethical and legal metal detecting - you would be surprised the number of times the WHS of Hadrians Wall has been targeted despite being a scheduled site. I would just like to add that the latest law on Treasure Trove covers the Portable Antiquities Scheme. In theory, every region should have a liasons officer who deals with detector finds and museums - they are there to ensure the recording of where fins came from. If your area doesnt have an officer yet, still report anything archaeological you find to a local museums service. 20/03/02

MALU MALU An interesting read! A friend of ours lives on the Isle of Wight and likes 'cleaning' the beaches of lost money. He doesn't mind that the money doesn't originate from Roman times, he's quite content with the currency of today. Cheers, Malu 05/11/01
barbara107 barbara107 My husband has had one for years and has spent many an hour on the beach or the moors..what I have noticed is the amount of people that stop him to ask what he's found either that day or before..it is a real conversation starter...people are fascinated by it..some even ask for a go!! So if you find it difficult to meet people get yourself a metal detector..they will come flocking!!!
Good op...
