General Apathy Posted August 27, 2010 Share #1529 Posted August 27, 2010 What are some of the laws if you find items in France..on the beach or at any battle site??Can you take the items??Can you Use a metal detector??Clark. Hi Clark, not too sure on all the rules or laws of detecting. I believe if you are given permission by a land owner then all's fine. :thumbsup: I have been told that if your found on municipal ground then the gendarmes can confiscate your finds, your metal detector and your car, but not heard of anyone having had this done. :think: Farmers don't like the people detecting that leave the dug holes open as cattle can break legs and that's a financial cost to the farmer and distress to the animals. Other than that there seems to be lot's of people doing it. I don't detect, but lots of things can be found without detecting. ken Norman D.

Sabrejet Hi Ian & Jake, I only signed the first 500 in black ink, that's when my three year old daughter took over for me and signed the other 4,000 with her blue ink pen. Only joking mister, my wife bought me a lovely pen which had black ink catridges, I had difficulty finding more black cartridges and as they say the show must go on, so I had to be content with blue ink ken Norman D.

Sabrejet Posted August 27, 2010 Share #1532 Posted August 27, 2010 Hi Ken. So the black signed copies, being scarcer, are more collectable then?! (Are you sure you didn't just get a rubber stamp made and let Lauren do the rest?!) Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Apathy Posted August 28, 2010 Share #1536 Posted August 28, 2010 Hi Forum Members & Readers, a couple of weeks back i started posting some photo's of houses at Utah beach with bunkers in the gardens, so we slip of the subject for a while and here are a few more. Hands up how many forum members want a German WWII bunker in their garden. :twothumbup: ken Norman D.

General Apathy Posted August 28, 2010 Share #1540 Posted August 28, 2010 Hi Sabrejet ( Ian ), a couple of weeks back I was photographing stuff out of the show box in the garage and I showed a wooden chest, we then went off topic and never got round to showing you what was in the chest. So here we are, in this and the following post. ken Norman D. Landing, Forum Normandy Correspondent, August 28 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunky Monkey Posted August 28, 2010 Share #1542 Posted August 28, 2010 Were you able to go inside the Bunker or is it sealed off? What would the scale have been used for? :think: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Apathy Posted August 28, 2010 Share #1543 Posted August 28, 2010 Were you able to go inside the Bunker or is it sealed off? What would the scale have been used for? :think: Hi Kevin, the bunkers I have shown today are in private gardens and generally out of bounds to visitors, some of the owners are not receptive to continued requests to see inside, there are plenty of accessible bunkers on open land. The scales are shown in Quartermaster corp catalog of equipment, often used by the mobile field kitchens. ken Norman D.

I want one so I can go sleep in it when my $%#*^ next door neighbor plays loud music at 5 in the morning which is why I'm on the forum this early. He must love talking to the Police.
