100 years old at least makes a little sense (that at least was the working definition of what constituted and antique for many years).   The trend now-a-days is 50 years, which means if it's older than my younger brother, I have to pretend it isn't there.

Hello All

The trouble we have is small minority of people wrecking it for the others. I cannot count the number of private properties that have been closed off to detectorists. Because of the previous actions of a few.

Leaving gates open or sometimes shutting them can have disastrous results for stock looking for water. Leaving rubbish shooting cattle have more than discouraged farmers to be agreeable to letting people onto their property. Another thing is legal litigation. Once upon a time if you fell over, it was Hardluck, these days there is a lawsuit. So landowners are very weary of letting strangers over their property.

The price of metal detectors have fallen so much available that its available to almost anyone. Even your local neighborhood idiot can get one. How many parks have had holes left unfilled only to have some one tripping over them and sue the council or park administration?

Its not just the small end of town who detects beach parks etc.. even the big end of town treasure hunters have down stupid things as well. How many shipwrecks or historic archeological ruins have been blown up ransacked and destroyed with no thought at all?

Its because of the ignorance of a few the majority will suffer.

And suffer we will unless we the majority draft and adopt an international code of practice that has the input all those concerned.

I am sure there are many experienced treasure hunters researchers on this website alone that could give many commonsense rules involving dealing with land owners, permission and knowledge of their local bylaws etc that would be invaluable.

Even a Topic of that at this website alone would be invaluable to newbies to the hobby.

Hardluck.

Go Up Go Down

Reminds me of my first and only time going to Yellow Stone!

There I was Parked on the side of the road.

Walked up to a little creek to take a peek for fish.

A truck pulled up.

I hear, What Ya Doing?Huh??

I turn and say Looking for Fish!

She Yells back, Your Standing On the Grass!

I got back in the Van, Left!   I will NEVER SUPORT, GO TO a Federal Park again.

As a Mater of Fact, I will do everything I can to discourage anyone from doing the same.

Later I found that all Concessions up there are owned by other then Americans!  LOL!

If they ask for help then thats good when they dictate thats bad and if they use us as another weapon
in their arsenal then we get to detect and they get job security, because the more we find
the more site are waiting to be discovered by them,
