Metal detecting/treasure hunting -- historical wreckers? |
|
I just happened to see a video of a bunch of people excavating a corduroy road from the Civil War. They were using metal detectors to find relics. There was no recording or any archaeological discipline. Should this be allowed?

1. If it's on private property, yes. |

With the land owners permission, of course, it's legal. I don't like it, but that's the law. State and local statutes may also apply, and most States have pretty strong burial protection laws, too. Got a link, or was it not on the internet?
