Hi guy
As some of you might be aware My 9yr and myself, a very old 9 yr old kid have started the hobby, we bought the Garrett 250 and it arrived yesterday so Keegan wants to have a bash tonight along the beach, i have been looking but i have either not seen anything or i am just blind, are you allowed to detect on common land and foot paths.


Thanks

First and foremost mate is dont start to feel danted or intimidated by the permission seeking !  Try the beach mate its an excellent place to start practicing with the garret.... Any footpaths near you mate ? if so, do they go through farmers fields or woodland ? Just pop along and ask the farmer if you can have a go along the path mate it works for me  Wink The majority of my coins have come from public footpaths mate .... including wooded areas .

Thanks guys
I am meeting a farmer tomorrow, who has given me the go ahead, so all we are doing is going to introduce ourselves and promote the hobby.
thanks

hi there guys just a few points to help you on your way for one when you meet your farmer freind ask him if he would like to see what you find this is a point to make as all detecing permisson comes down to trust and second dont get dissheartend if you dont find much its your first time and these things takes time we have all been there for sure  Roll Eyes just take time to get use to your detector and dont give in on it the very best of luck with your new farm guys and hope to meet you one day soon regards (phil) Wink

 Best of luck with it  mate,,  refering to the footpaths though a lot of people think that as they have a right  to walk the footpaths  they have the right to detect there along them too,  you haven't,  unless you have prier permision from the landowner,

Aren't you supposed to get a permit for detecting on the beach, in some areas anyway, something to do with foreshore?
I also understood you could get these just via email?!?!?  Shocked

I am new to this so could be talking complete rubbish  Grin

I,ve detected on Southerndown beach for years now, and nobody said anything
to me about it. In the warmer weather,all you do is pay the parking attendant
and walk onto the beach. Who has ever been told they can,t detect there???

I am not saying I am correct, as it is not very often I am, and it obviously isn't very well policed if so.

Just found this to do with Crown Estates, again maybe barking up the wrong tree all together.

hi wombles Grin, i would be interested to hear how you get on with the garret 250, as we have 3 new juniors started in our club, and that machine type kept on popping up by other users, as a good machine to start with, for adults and juniors alike. you  should also start to think about ,insurance, if you are going to detect farm land, or any public places." public liability cover" there are a few to be had, and they only cost a few  quid. TWO i know of are   F.I.D.  OR    N.M.C.D. any one on this site will point you in the right direction. should you need any help good luck on your  first outing  mickycoin  mick Grin Grin
