[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 229858, member: 1695"] Heritage acts exist to protect places or items of importance to Australian history, and I doubt very much whether common decimal currency would fall under that banner, despite the "50 year" rule in Vic. I don't think they would care for someone calling out an archaeologist to inspect a coin spill full of 1c & 2c coins. Thankfully SA does not have the same regulations as in Victoria, with all heritage places listed, so you know where you can and cannot detect. Obviously any artefacts that could possibly be found within those listed locations could have historical relevance to the sites, hence should not be detected. :) Roscoe, you will have to look at your state regs/acts regarding heritage protection, as all states will differ.
