In England there have been a number of instances where people, often at night and on sites which have what is termed, an "Ancient Monument Schedule" have been arrested by the police.Trespassing and using a metal detector in such circumstances has resulted in prosecution,confiscation of a equipment,a hefty fine and even depending on the circumstances imprisonment!My advice to any beginner in the hobby is to always seek permission and create a written agreement,then there should be no come back!
My grandfather used to say to me,"son if you don't ask you don't get"! That philosophy has stood me in good stead over the years.
Out of all the requests to search land during my 20 years detecting,I have only had two nos and both of those were polite declines.
What has been your experience?
