Not metal detecting, but we’ve had a local Amateur Archaeology Society doing magnetometry in one of our Grade I parks for a few years, and the only hoops they had to jump through were landowner consent (although
in this case the Council *is* the Landowner – not sure if they would need to contact the Council separately if it was privately owned)

Subject: Stupid question....
I am feeling a little stupid for not knowing this and Google is no help ……. Are there any restrictions on metal detecting in a Registered Park and Gardenn?? Assuming permission from the landowner.
Cheers
