Metal Detecting in Ireland - Diggin' with the Earthlings

I had the amazing opportunity to not only work in Ireland but during our workday I asked a local Air B and B owner to where we were working at if I could have permission to metal detect their land. I was granted it on conditions of the found items remain theirs. I was very excited as you may well see in the video. I had a great time but didn't want to take up my buddy Dannys entire singular day off. But we set off and had some fun. The land owner allowed me to keep what I found actually, (since it wasn't gold or anything really worth much, which I failed to mention, yes I got to keep the finds.)

I was careful not to dig on any archeological sites and pretty much stayed to her direct property. It was a very good day and I was happy and grateful for the experience!

Yess!! A new Paul D Green/ (D.. Paul Green!) Video. I hope to see more from you greetz wouter from the netherlands.

[@KINGH4L0]

How come I wasn’t cognizant of this tectin’ outing in IRELAND!!!? That’s friggin’ cool!

[@PaulDGreen]

Thanks for watchin! It's about friggen chime!

[@Shr1nx]

I live in Ireland and I’m getting a metal detector next week I can’t wait to start

[@PaulDGreen]

Very cool! I know there are clubs out there. If I lived there I would join some of those to keep up on the latest laws and things to look for

[@Labs.Fishing.hunting]

My grandmother has jars of old punts pingins and half's, dates are from 1880 to 1944 there abouts. Probably worth something to the local museum but she literally has 2/300 coins

[@beachdetectingireland3984]

What yous thought was a turkey is called a chicken penny , we find them here all the time .

[@PaulDGreen]

Cool, yeah I assumed Irish people would probably find them often. Thanks for watching! 😊👍

[@user-nr9pl4ir4o]

I metal detect in Ireland and what i find stays there, same as where i live the uk

[@michaelcoulton883]

isnt it illegal to use a metal detector

[@norwaydiggerinireland7441]

Love to have you back for a "documentary" style hunt where we (detectorists) and (archaeologists) could take each others opinions on the law and create a "handbook" for what is legal and not in ireland....you d be the first people to have a proper "debate" about this "toxic" topic on your channel

[@PaulDGreen]

That would be interesting. I don't know how much I'd want to debate since I really only know some basics about Ireland, I want to be lawful. It's a hard line to define making sure people/detectorists out in the world are honest and have integrity about finding relics and or treasure and doing the right thing with it. I do like the handbook idea

[@VpoiskahKladovIRL]

Metaldetecting laws in Ireland very very strict - no Metaldetecting in vicinity of archaeological and architectural protected structures! Be careful

[@lkcoinchronicles5862]

How did you get licence to

[@eddieryan7639]

Do anyone know if you can detect on irish beaches legally i hear you can from so many people but i not certain

[@timothyorourke7116]

Is this northern or southern ireland?

[@PaulDGreen]

It's far south, it's fast but at the begging you can see how far south on the map

[@vioreltacu8748]

good afternoon. please tell me where in Ireland it is possible to search with a metal detector without a license.

[@PaulDGreen]

Well I was advised private property is a good way to go and make sure one isn't digging on any historic sites

[@sarahd3890]

Hi, from ireland. You need a licence no matter where you are in ireland. You need written permission from our state, any and ALL findings MUST be reported to our state and any of importance or value must be handed over to our historical society. Laws are really strict here on this because we have lost so much of our land and heritage to people stealing what belongs to ireland. They want to preserve and protect our land and history. You absolutely cannot do it near any heritage or protected sites. If you go through all that you should be grand. It's annoying so strict it would be so amazing to find something, but understandable as well.

[@sarahd3890]

You may get compensated if you find something of importance and give it up, if you use proper channels otherwise you could be fined or charged

[@PaulDGreen]

@@sarahd3890 agreed

[@norwaydiggerinireland7441]

@@sarahd3890 that is not correct Sarah. You need a license to look for archeologial objects. Not to look for clad coins on a beach (that is not protected) its important to know the difference. Study the law. Very important. I totally agree on the importance of reporting finds and to not search near archeologial protected sites

[@dreamhunter5714]

hey man are you digging in Ireland at all time? if yes maybe one day we will go together

[@PaulDGreen]

Hey thanks for the comment. I only visited Ireland and detected that one day. That would be fun to go with a fellow detectorist. Maybe one day 😊

[@0k3ma]

Half penny is a Leat

[@PaulDGreen]

Good to know, thanks! 😊👍

[@sagan666]

And that 5p you found - I would call that fivepunce. Dublin accent accounting for punce to pence, which is plural for penny and not the Ex Vice President of the US.

[@lamjedamor195]

Does this require a government license?

[@PaulDGreen]

Possibly, but I had an accord with the land owner to hand over anything I found. And I did.

[@lamjedamor195]

@@PaulDGreen I am a treasure hunter from North Africa, and I use copper rods in search, how can I practice my hobby, can you help me?

[@PaulDGreen]

@@lamjedamor195 I live in the US, that was a brief trip to Ireland for me. Sounds like you're using a technique called divining and I wouldn't know anything about that. My friend in the video was only acting like he knew what he was doing with the sticks he was holding. That technique to me is more science fiction than science seeing how people use them to find spirits and or water... but who knows, they ARE conductive, there could be something to it, but I'm ignorant to it.

The unregulated and inappropriate use of detection devices causes serious damage to Ireland’s archaeological heritage and is subject to severe penalties under the National Monuments Acts 1930-2004 It is illegal.... -To be in possession of a detection device at monuments and sites protected under the National Monuments Acts. -To use a detection device to search for archaeological objects anywhere within the State or its territorial seas without the prior written consent of the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. -Archaeological objects are broadly defined in the National Monuments Acts and objects may come within the terms of the definition regardless of their age or degree of antiquity, e.g. 20th century material. -It is illegal to promote the sale or use of detection devices for the purposes of searching for archaeological objects. -It is illegal to dig or excavate for archaeological objects, or to dive on a protected wreck, anywhere in the State or its territorial seas, without the prior written consent of the Minister. -Anyone who finds an archaeological object must report it to the National Museum of Ireland or designated local museum within 96 hours -Only the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht may grant consent to use a detection device for archaeological purposes - membership of any organisation or body or the sourcing of equipment from a particular supplier does not provide compliance with the law.

[@PaulDGreen]

Thanks for the post. I read this the time I was out there and actually had communication with an official. 👍

[@RebelofIreland]

Tiresome horse shit. these laws prevent the discovery of our Archaelogical heritage, The main reasons they were enacted was to prevent the broke ass Irish gov from having to compensate people as in the case of the Derrynaflann chalice.

[@bigsmokeweiler8941]

It's actually illegal to metal detect in Ireland even on your own land!!! Which is so dumb in my opinion. You can only metal detect on beaches over here. If caught metal detecting anywhere else you could face a fine up to €60000 or a 3 month prison sentence lol 💀 we need a new government badly so much needs to change! Metal detecting is a hobby that nobody should get in trouble for doing
