@jens2go British laws around metal detecting seem to focus more on allowing people to extract the financial value of archeological finds than on preserving the knowledge. By contrast, in Ireland they have laws preventing people from using metal detectors this way without prior approval, and they are pretty careful about when they allow archeological digs.
