Ještě že mi zbyl kousek zahrady, tam si budu nechat zakopávat kolečka, a pak v noci tajně hledat:-))
European laws for metal detector searches
Categories: What didn't fit elsewhere
EUROPEAN LAWS FOR SEARCHING WITH METAL DETECTORS
As the holidays are approaching and most of us are planning a holiday that in some cases is not situated in the Czech Republic, we have decided to make a translation of the text, not entirely technical but hopefully useful and interesting, the original text of which can be found at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Monitor/7843/three.html. It is a brief summary of the legislation of the different European countries related to metal detector searches. In this text you can therefore find out under what conditions, if any, searching is possible in each country.
The UK is also not included in the text as it is not included in the original text. The second reason is that a detailed description of the situation in this country has already been provided by Elmara. Also not included are the countries of Eastern Europe, whose laws are unclear.
AUSTRIA
The use of detectors requires a digging permit issued by the Austrian Federal Heritage Office. This permit is generally not issued to private individuals.
KYPR
Searching for antiquities without a license is expressly prohibited unless the searcher obtains permission from the landowner. It is highly unlikely that individuals will obtain such permission.
DENMARK
On public land, the local authority decides whether metal detectors can be used in the relevant area. It is estimated that on approximately 50% of public land, searching with detectors is prohibited.
On public woodland, the forest supervisor decides whether metal detectors can be used. In most cases, permission is NOT granted. In the case of public beaches, the use of metal detectors and digging is not regulated in any way because "it could discriminate against a certain class of people - e.g. children would not be allowed to use a bucket and spade while playing, etc." Outside of landowner permission, there are no restrictions as to private land. Any coins minted after monetary reform in the 19th century can be retained by the finder. Other coins and artifacts must be turned in to the National Museum. The finder is rewarded with a cash sum for the find, but always below the market value of the item. Only very rarely is the detectorist allowed to keep his find.
FINLAND
All movable objects such as coins, weapons, etc. older than one century should be reported with an indication of the context (Antiquities Act 1963, section 16). This legislation does not exclude the use of metal detectors.
FRANCE
No one may use metal detectors to search for monuments and objects that may relate to prehistory, history, art or archaeology without firstadministrative authorisation, which shall be issued according to the qualifications of the applicant and the nature and methods of the search. Beaches are not subject to this law.
GERMANY
Digging requires a licence and work may not be carried out without a permit or near monuments in such a way that it may directly or indirectly affect them. Any accidental discoveries must be reported. Rewards are equal to 50% of the value if found on public land and 100% if on private land. Although metal detectors are not directly listed in the 1932 Act, all finds using them are covered by the Act.
NORTHERN IRELAND
The legislation in Northern Ireland is not identical to that which applies on the English mainland, and the use of metal detectors falls within the scope of the 'Historic Monuments Act 1971', which states: Section IV Part 11: A person should not, coming under and in accordance with a licence .. dig or excavate in or under any land .... for the purpose of searching for archaeological objects ... Section IV Part 12: The finder of any archaeological object .... should, within fourteen days of such discovery, report the circumstances .... to the Director of the "Ulster Museum" .... or to the Clerk of the Police Station.
SOUTH ISLAND
A person cannot use or even have a detector on the site of an archaeologically significant area. It is even illegal to "Promote by advertising or otherwise the sale of detection devices for the purpose of finding archaeological objects."
ISRAEL
The Antiquities Act 1978, section 9a states "No person shall dig on private land for the purpose of searching antiquities by any means, including the use of metal detectors, or collect antiquities, unless he has obtained a license for that purpose from the Directorate. " Failure to comply with this section may be punishable by imprisonment for 3 years or a very, very large fine.
Section 38 of the same Act states that "any person on a site in whose possession or in the immediate excavation tools are found which may be presumed to have been recently used in the excavationworking at the site, or in whose property or immediate vicinity a metal detector is found, is presumedpresumed to have intended to search for antiquities unless he proves that he had no such intention. "
ITALY
The 1939 Law on the Care of Artistic and Historical Objects provides protection for all objects and coins of historical or archaeological value. All such objects are state property and must be reported to the art director. Rewards can reach a maximum of 1/4 of the value. Searching with metal detectors is prohibited in the following areas:
Val D'Aosta
Tuscany
Lazio
Calabria
Sicily
Coins found minted after 1500 may be kept by the finder, but 10% of their value must be paid to the landowner.
LIECHTENSTEIN
The Preservation of Monuments Act of 1977 requires the reporting of all monuments found in the soil (land). A government permit is required for archaeological excavations.
LUXEMBOURG
All searches and excavations with the aim of discovering or documenting objects or sites of historical interest may only be carried out with the authorisation of the Ministry of Arts and Sciences. The use of metal detectors for unauthorized searches is a violation of the law.
MALTA
The Historic Preservation Act of 1925-1974 protects all objects, relocatable or non-relocatable, more than 50 years old. Excavations can only be carried out with government permission. It is obligatory to report accidental finds. Since 1979, a ban has been enacted on the importation of all metal detectors that are sensitive enough to be a hazard to archaeological sites.
NORWAY
The Cultural Heritage Act of 1978 specifies a wide range of specified objects, both fixed and movable, dating from before 1937, which are protected. The Act also provides protection against unauthorised excavations. All objects older than 1537 and coins older than 1650 are the property of the state. This requires all finds to be reported to the authorities, who will offer an appropriate reward. There is no specific reference to metal detectors in the legislation.
SPAIN
The use of metal detectors is not allowed without a prior import licence for the detector. Further questions may be addressed to the Spanish Administrative Authority. This office at the Spanish Embassy provides the following written information: 1. The use of metal detectors involves the legal and regulatory management of artistic or archaeological finds, the enhancement of national heritage and treasure, falls under the very detailed law of 25. June 1985 (historical heritage); and the Royal Decree of 10 January 1986. 2. If something is found, it is necessary to comply with the complex procedures proposed in these laws; and it is quite impossible for any object to be exempted from these Spanish laws unless the proper authority gives its consent. This process can take months; and if the object in question is classified as part of the national artistic heritage and/or is knownmore than 100 years old, it is unlikely that an export permit will be accepted either at all or it takes a very long time due to the complexity of the procedures. The second aspect is technical. The Royal Decree of 25 November 1987, which deals with nuclear energy and radioactivity, lays down rules and safeguards against radiation. The list of 20 March 1975 shows the rules of approval for a device that emits radiation. Issues associated with metal detectors may not entirely agree with the rules listed. This is where the third aspect comes in. Local maritime authorities have been known to complain that their use of metal detectors interferes with electronic communications. In summary, for all these reasons, it is preferable not to use metal detectors in Spain.
In 2001 Spain became even stricter and a number of detector users faced legal action, for this FID cannot recommend visiting or searching with detectors in that country.
SWEDEN
Part 19 of the 1988 Act, which prohibits metal detecting in Gotland and Öland, has now been extended to all parts of Sweden.
SWEDEN
No legislation specifically refers to metal detecting by private individuals, although there is legislation prohibiting unauthorised searching or excavation of antiquities.
TURKEY
The 1973 Antiquities Law contains very extensive lists of movable and non-movable objects that are protected.protected, including sites of ancient settlement or places where traces of ancient civilisations can be found. All objects found are the property of the State and it is compulsory to report them, but there is no reward system. On the other hand, special measures are enacted against treasure hunters, illegal excavations and dealing with antiquities. Unauthorised treasure hunting can be punished by 2-5 years in prison and very large fines.

Chlapáci v žádném případě jsem vás nechtěl vyděsit :) dobře víte že zákony jsou zákony ale v praxi je to jistě jinak a v září odjíždím na pár dní hledat do Anglie tak vás pak budu informovat ..
Nikde není povolené hledat detektorem a následně kopat,ani u nás.To,že to není přímo v zákoně,nebo napsané na papíře,to neznamená,že si každý může dělat co se mu zachce.Z praxe vím,že je lepší nepsaný zákon,než cokoli sepsané na papíře.
K tomu jen jedno krtku u mě jsi normální debil a bud tak laskav a nezasírej moje ani příspěvky ostatních svými stupidními komentáři..
Človeče Bobane ty jseš snad magnet na magory:-) Článeček zajímavej!
Super článek, momentálně surfuju na Atlantickým pobřeží ve Francii a detektory mám sebou :o) pláže vypadaj slibně, navíc bydlíme ve starým zámečku s ohrmonou zahradou s tak 500 let starejma stromama a majitel byl nadšenej, že u něj chci něco hledat :o) zlato jedem 50/5O, zbytek je můj ..no co dodat, tohle se Vám čechách často nestane. Tak jsem zvědavej co se najde. Na zahradě se 100% i bojovalo, našel se tu reichspfenig a pár mauserů :o) takže kdo ví
Ahoj,článek fajn.Jsem v tomhle novej.Koupil jsem si detektor a rád bych sem tam někam vyrazil hledat.Problém je že nevim kam.nenajde se někdo kdo by mě zasvětil? nebo nějak poradil?
To Pítriska : odkud jsi ??
A když už,tak
Nejlepší jsou stejně CHKOčka,tam je malá koncentrace odpadků a je to celkem dobrej relax,jen si musíte dávat větší pozor na jeleny a divoké svině.
Nevím proč máte neustále potřebu takle provokovat? Opravdu to nemohu pobrat. Pokud někoho navádíte aby chodil hledat do CHKO, je to doslova neuvěřitelné. Pokud to bude možné přestaňte na naše stránky posílat takové reakce pod články. Děkuji Elmara (admin lovcepokladu)
elmara: Je to zbytečný,tihle provokatéři sou všude a strašně je těší,když můžou něco skurvit!!!
Omlouvám se za upřímnost!
Je tu někdo ze severu čech ? mam plno místeček kde by mohlo něco být ale bohužel nemám detektor mam i GPS lokace přesný. zatím dík
Krtku, vždy když na těchto stránkách vidím tvůj nick, tak si říkám, "jaká blbost z něho zase vypadla" a opět jsi nezklamal. Už si konečně vyber pro své chytré rady jiné stránky...

Čauky jak sem tu psal minule tak na netu sem našel docela dlouhej článek a když sem si to pročet jak to vlastně je s hledáním u nás tak sem vyčet to že se akorád trestá když se záměrně rabujou archologická místa jinak se to nepostihuje tak nevím zatím
zajímaly by mě Italské pláže, konkrétně Palmová riviéra
Ahojte, nevie mi niekto poradit ako to je v zakone v chorvatsku? Chcem tam preskumavat len tak pre radost par plazi! Vdaka,. Dufam ze to tu uz nevymrelo, a niekto sa mi tu ozve ;)
