I am 100% over metal detectorists trying to skirt the law with “oh well it’s okay on a beach.” Yeah the law is forgiving if you’re trying to find a ring you lost, but considering that metal detectorists have only an interest in digging up items of value, that is a moot point.
Plus the private land thing doesn’t hold up either, since once it’s found to be archaeologically significant, it’s a crime to have used a metal detector to take it out of the ground.
