[blacksander]

the scoops we use we make ourselves in the uk they are very strong to stand up to the weeks detecting in spain they are cut from 3mm stainless sheet with 8 mm holes and plenty of supports and strengtherners with a 2 piece stailless handle

Hi blacksander, im about as far away as posible, La Coru

Very nice finds. I am glad you found what you did and left asap. Because Spanish law states:

SPAIN

The use of metal detectors is not allowed unless an import license for the detector has previously been issued. Further inquiries should be made to the Spanish Commercial Office. The Commercial Office at the Spanish Embassy provided the following written information: 1. The use of metal detectors could involve considerations of the Law and Regulations governing artistic or archaeological finds, involving national heritage and treasure trove, a provided by the very detailed Law of 25th June 1985 (Historical Heritage); and the Royal Decree of 10th January 1986 which develops it. 2. If anything is found, therefore, it would be necessary to comply with the complex procedures outlined in these enactments; and it would certainly not be possible for any finds to be taken out of Spain until the proper Authorities had given their consent. That could take months; and if the article in question is classified as part of the national artistic heritage, and/or is over 100 years old, it is not likely to receive an export permit either at all, or for a very long time, owing to the complexity of the procedures. The second aspect is a technical one. The Royal Decree of 25 November 1987, which deals with nuclear energy and radioactivity, lays down rules and safeguards against radiation. The Order of 20th March 1975 sets out the rules for radio-active apparatus. The metal detector in question may not comply with those rules. There is a third aspect. The local Naval Authorities have been known to complain because the use of metal detectors has interfered with electronic communications. All in all, therefore, it is preferable not to use metal detectors in Spain. In 2001 Spain has become even more un-bending and a number of detector users have faced prosecution, therefor FID cannot recommend visiting or detecting in this country.
