[QUOTE="Pete E, post: 644127, member: 18110"] As Brit, Just a follow up on some the posts here. For firstly, don’t think you can turn up and detect anywhere you like. At the very least you need the land owners permission. Secondly, any area with great historical significance is likely to be “protected” and no detecting allowed unless part of a pukka archaeological dig. Thirdly, There are laws concerning treasure finds…they differ in different parts of the UK so you need to check. Fourthly, if you want to take home any relics or coins over a certain age ( I think 50 years?) you will need to apply for an Export License…Getting caught breaking any of the above laws could mean having your detecting equipment confiscated and or a fine and in a worst case scenario, jail time..
