3.5 hours and a few finds...

I hunted a few fields near a castle today. By chance, I ran into the owner who owns several fields and some forest near the lower part of the castle where I wanted to detect. The law states you cannot detect within 50 meters of a historical site without a permit and they disapproved my requested fields around the immediate castle on my permit so this was perfect.

Great report, You're lucky to have a site like that to search good luck. I went to school in Frankfort for 4 years, and during that time we were always site seeing especially, castles.
