    They might as well just require a license for people to go searching for things. And what if the artifact is made of wood?

      Untill someone makes a wood detector I don’t think they are worried about it.

      The point is that a metal detector is specifically made to find stuff easier, and significantly cuts down on manpower needed to find stuff, increasing the risk of scavanging.

        Do they have a license to stop dogs from being trained on the scent of certain materials?

        What about other materials? I should’ve been broader than wood, but what if for example it’s a gemstone? Not everything is going to be metal I assume.

          If you ever go to a museum and look at what artifacts they have from the dark ages, it’s like 99% metal stuff. Just statistical I guess. I think even a gemstone would normally be attached to a piece of jewelry and not just loose on its own. The other big one is pottery and other earthwares, but I guess the idea of that law is to protect whatever they can.
