MISCELLANEOUS:

European Battlefield tours.  Metal detecting is included in the tour, however, I’m not sure if detecting the actual battlefield is allowed.  I’ve never heard of this outfit, so if anyone has been on one of their hunts or has experience with them, send me an email so we can let folks know how it was.

LMS Metal Detecting
This site is sort of an enigma.  They have a calendar of scheduled hunt dates on their website, but I’m not sure what their deal is, or if you can sign up for the hunts.  If someone is familiar, please let me know.
