Art Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 That's neat. I think detecting is a fun hobby. I'll have to try it someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggAndyy Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Why did the government even have to step in? TH'ing on private land with permission. Unless the father took the coins to the museum I can see no reason why a judge would need to rule on this case at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 If what a metal detectorist finds in the ground is a (possible) treasure, the finds have to be offered to a museum. Don't know exactly how this works in the UK, and apparently the laws for England, Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland are different, but here is the gist: http://www.finds.org.uk/treasure/treasure_summary.php Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
