Guernsey anybody ?

[alloverover]

Evening All, am off to Guernsey in the near future, just wondered if anybody did the beaches there, for some reason the Mrs is really interested in finding some war time relics from the occupation (she will never cease to surprise me), has anybody got any ideas where a good place might be to give it a go ? I will do a bit of research before we go but thought i would ask here, will probably only end up doing a couple of hours digging though i reckon, ive got the permit sorted already so any help would be gratefully received
Cheers folks
AOO

Hi alloverover,
I do a bit in Jersey, and they are reluctant to allow anything to leave the island. So it has to be declared and if after an investigation they releaase the finds you then have to pay to transport off the island.

Now not sure what Guernsey is like but attached is some info for you..

Scooby....


What ever happens enjoy your trip to the island
Environment Department response to media enquiry from Guernsey Press.

Guernsey Press Enquiry:

I also overheard that the department has seen a sharp rise in the number of people applying to metal detector licences. Can I check when the department noticed a rise (did it coincide with the big Jersey find?) and perhaps how many licence enquiries the department sees a week?

Can I also check why people need licenses (is it for certain areas?)?

Environment Department Response:

There has been more interest in permits for metal detecting on beaches since the hoard of Iron Age coins was found in Jersey, with 6 new applications received recently.

Anyone wishing to metal detect on Guernsey's beaches should obtain a permit from the Environment Department and can contact the Environment Services Unit for more information using the contact information below. Metal detecting is not permitted on the cliffs, coastal grasslands or headlands owned or administered by the States of Guernsey.
