[QUOTE="Loner, post: 5864016, member: 115446"] Hi Tony, I do metal detecting when I visit my son in Belgium . He took me out to a detecting day, but it was one where they just throw prize discs in the field , guess what , all the prizes were beer ,and wine ones,no good to me as I do not drink. I have tried to get permission to do the same in the UK , but not too far from home , but to no avail as yet . My son has found a lot of what he calls scrap,and he brings it to me,and I like it because there are a lot of old Agricultural things that have turned up. I like cleaning them up, and admiring the early work that went in to making them . I don't like the organized events as there are too many people in the fields ,and some of them leave holes, as they did in the last one I went with my son. I am a member of the National Council For Metal Detecting which includes insurance for liability , this also shows that you are responsible and follow the guidelines of the council,and adhere to the Treasure finding body in the UK. A lot of people do this as a hobby when crops like maize are finished , and when the fields have been ploughed . It is also good to do the areas around a field that are rough, or woodlands that are surrounded by fields. Of course the ideal thing is to show whoever you get permission from the things you do find,and anything of great historical value checked out with the treasure trove body in the UK, and an agreement with the landowner to what he wants if anything is found. I suppose it is down to trust nowadays , and abiding with whatever a landowner will let you do ,and when you can do it. To me it is an interesting pastime,and you can enjoy a day out with the wife and a packed lunch . [/QUOTE]
