Illegal in all of Ireland? Why?

 

[robert35]

It still is illegal in Ireland. Well you can use your detector on non registered/historical sites, but you wil have to be able to proove to the authorities that you are not searching for artifacts or archaeological stuff..And thats going to be pretty difficult..if you are running around in a field.
Beaches are okay at the moment.

But there must be a way to try and resolve this with the authorities. They have done the same in NL/BE/UK etc..

Any ideas? I have a few...

Myself I have used a C-scope for 20 years..ofcourse not the same one..I am in the middle of trying to get my detector send over from the mainland..C-scope R1..I llove this machine..but there are a few extra outhere on the market worth looking into. Prices in the USA are much better now..with the Dollar being so low. Even with the freight charges many of them are a lot cheaper when bought in UK or mainland Europe.

I'm new to the forum and hopefully soon i'll be new to metal detecting living in Carlow, Ireland

I am hoping to buy a new Ace 250 from ebay and just wanted to ask if ebay is the cheapest place to buy and if the Ace 250 would be suitable for a noob?

Also if anyone in my area(south-east Ireland) needs some company while they go metal detecting let me know, i'd love to go and watch and try learn a thing or two
