So will try to be politically correct here.
Whats the regs regarding beach detecting? when where how?
Basically all i'll be in Torquay Sunday night, and the brother in law will have just arrived back from melb with his flash as micheal jackson SDC. I said "hey why don't we go test it out on the beach sunday while the women folks are cooking?" to which his reply was "nah, people will think we're scumbags picking up 10 cent pieces and peoples jewelry"
I've never done beach detecting, but does the general populace view this practice in a negative light?
I think its a good thing, cos the finds(coins) are generally minor and I would attempt to find the owner of any jewelry piece i guess. Also I would assume that most take any metallic trash or glass they find from the beach and dispose in a sensible fashion, making it safer for others.
Thanks
James
