Hi all and thanks for the welcomes. The rules around detecting in Ireland are somewhat different between the North of Ireland and the South of Ireland. However, it is generally accepted that if you are on private land with landowners permission and you aren't specifically looking for valuable historical artifacts, then you are grand to tear away. Not many many will bother you as long as you have permission. When you consider the size of Ireland vs its history, it's hard to imagine how so much has gone on and came from such a small piece of land. Our deep and varied history is always sure to keep producing interesting finds when it comes to metal detecting.

We're also a gold rich nation, but the location of the bulk of the gold means that you would almost certainly require industrial mining processes to be used for extraction.
