Weve talked about this before. I don't think the hardware is beyond the reach of a community group but there's one bizarre possibility - even though it's a non-intrusive technique it may be considered to be in breach of bylaws/planning regs or other rules. You'd need to check.

I believe a Metal Detecting Holiday company that caters for North Americans to come over here is in possession of one - you could ask them how they get on with it (I'm not giving their name as I disapprove of them!)


It reminded me of the Bath and Camerton group who recently with geophys... seemed to show that the Cove at Stanton Drew was in actual fact a long barrow, it was amateur archaeos with the help of their local County archaeologist did the survey, presumably with a machine they owned as a group.. does'nt help much Clair but it can be done... there are land owner issues though.
