    Was going to get one myself until research turned up the fact that you need a licence and to get one you have to be a professional archeologist.

    If you can't buy one, build one? http://www.wikihow.com/Build-a-Metal-Detector

    That wouldn't stop me buying one to be honest . There's alot of them online but I'm sure a shop wouldn't turn down your cash if u went into buy one?

    It would be fun on the beach and on your own land.
    Here is a Thread about the 'ins and outs of it'

    I think it would be a serious hobby . That's why I want to get a right piece of kit

    Hard to see Maplins being competitive with anything, particularly higher value items.

    The point I was making is that it is not legal to use them elsewhere....

    Sorry, I don't live in Dublin so I can't give you any advice. What kind of metal detector you are looking for? gold metal detector or underwater metal detector?
