I've been metal detecting for a number of years now and have found some interesting items such as Celtic, Roman, Medieval coins, etc. I've just recently found a pipe tamper in the shape of a bent leg.  No items classed as treasure yet though.

I'm a member of a couple of clubs that meet in the Warwickshire / Leicestershire area.  One club is full but the other has spaces still.

You don't need a scrap yard just hold it over your head !

I thought about getting one, I'm sure it would be handy on the beach particularly in the area washed by the tides, however I'm not sure on the legal aspect of doing this. I have a feeling that the beach in the intertidal area is open to the public generally even if the actual foreshore is in private hands, the challenge would be to get there without trepassing.

It is my understanding that anything found between High tide and Low tide marks (including the Equinox tides) belongs to the Queens Harbour Master (IE the Crown) and not the finder of said objects.
