Metal Detecting in Poland

Anyone know the rules & regs for Metal Detecting in Poland or anyone had Experience?

1. don't touch the bombs

Unless they have already exploded...then its ok.
Really.

ahh ok.......

Wow... I've not seen anyone metal detecting since about 1983! Do people still do it?

You've obviously not been to Formy Point recently. blimy, it's like Mecca for them :)

I remember going on holiday to Blackpool when I was a kid... they were like vulchers LOL!

What do you mean ?

It is not illegal to walk around with metal detector but it is not legal to dig.
According to law all you'd dig out belongs to state.
Selling archaeological treasures - sentence up to 5 years

Ok, I guess Ill have to walk around disguised as a Tree.....
Ps: Guy goes to a Star Trek Party dressed as a tree, the host asks, "What did you come as??"............"Captains Logg".......rofl

^my bad..........correction: it IS legal to just walk around with metal detector, you can't dig out anything though legally.

But, as in many other aspects in Polish life, the law is one thing and the reality quite other one.

So it's not like it in UK, where I think you can dig something up, providing the land owner has given consent. Then it has to be handed over as some sort of national property, and final ownership depends on some confusing legal gubbins?

Must make professional archaeology a bit tricky.

If you dig up a bomb thats ticking , and about to go off then legally you can keep it....nobody else wants it....

COme to US and dig all you want finders keepers with land owners permission Or public land is open to anyone. Or you can come to my area and pan for gold.

Sure, if u pay the flight from Germany....

Not sure how much a Zepplin would be these days?
