<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 7458672, member: 92655"]I been following this thread. I know there are much more defined parameters in European countries where the history spans millennia rather than decades. I happen to live in a state rife with history and I do some metal detecting, though I haven’t had any cool finds to speak of..... I did look up the local law and it reads, “Historic or prehistoric artifacts may not be removed if discovered while using a metal detector.”...... Thing is, the term “artifact” is not defined. So is a large cent an artifact? Is a box of fifty double eagles an artifact? Myself, I believe it is intentionally not defined to keep the metal detectorist off balance. Myself, I never felt very appreciated while detecting and our local laws tend to echo that...... I do believe that metal detecting laws differ from state to state.... Just my take on the whole thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
