"Under the law, anyone who does not hand over an item they suspect to be valuable within 14 days can be prosecuted and be fined or even jailed."

At the risk of sounding *incredibly* stupid - can metal detector sense gold? I thought only ferrous metals affected the RF field used in the detectors - any pointers / knowledge or links appreciated.

Mr Meadows said after the hearings: "They're nice objects. They're not worth thousands and thousands, but they tell us a lot about our history."
