- I dont know of British laws, but I suposse that if the archeological
- patrimony is protected, then to look for "treasures" will be illegal.

- doing with a detector. It seems obvious when you have heard some
- histories on archeological research.
- This finding could result in a hard hit for Britain archeological areas.
- I would know how have detectors selling increased this week.
