Bedford BC - OFFICIAL-Unsecure If the RPG is council-owned then it may also be protected by a local byelaw forbidding the use of a metal detector. Otherwise, I don't believe there is anything preventing metal-detecting use in an RPG (other than landowner consent being required).

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) Rod Millard Historic Environment Record Officer Planning and Transport Development Bath and North East Somerset Council Lewis House Manvers Street Bath BA1 1JG Tel: 01225 477653 Fax: 01225 477663 Email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Web: http://www.bathnes.gov.uk/services/tourism-and-heritage/archaeology Office Hours: Tuesday to Thursday, 10:00 am - 4:30 pm Making Bath & North East Somerset an even better place to live, work and visit.
