Conditions like these are rare. If you are interesting in detecting my company supplies detectors and cordless headphones. www.scottishmetaldetectors.com Remember always detect on land upon which permission to detect has been given by the owner. All significant finds in Scotland must be offered to the Treasure Trove unit who pay market rates for articles / objects claimed. These objects are then displayed in museums.

hi david,can you direct me to a website where i can find a detailed account of the legislation about treasure hunting in UK.I have many questions,such as,how you know if the land you intend to treasure hunt is private or government owned.Do you need a liscence for trasure hunting,and so on.Thanks
Safriz please see my comments on the blog. Evidently I have replied to you twice in the wrong boxes !!!!!!! [ La_spice kindly told me so ! ].
You can contact me directly at david@lochnessimages.com and see our web site at www.scottishmetaldetectors.com where new and second hand detectors are on offer [ second hand machines change daily so please tel the number on the web site if you are interested ]. David.
National Council for Metal Detecting will have the best information if you google it [ I believe ] The two magazines Treasure Hunter and The Searcher will also have web sites. I also approach farmers for permission and send finds to the National Museum of Scotland. They pay you for interesting items and the funds are 50 50 shared with the farmer. David.

Hi David - sorry to interfere but your reply won't have been delivered as you didn't put it in the "reply to comment" bit!

National Council for metal detecting web site has the rules and the magazines Treasure Hunter and The Searcher will have web sites that may help. Our web site www.scottishmetaldetectors.com has some of the best value detectors in the UK plus we offer good second hand machines.
The main rule is only detect with the landowners permission and split any treasure by money value 50 / 50 % with the owner.
