In the film clip, which SVT Nyheter Småland took part in, several people are seen looking with metal detectors in the water at Hammarsbadet in Gamleby, next to a burial field from the Iron Age.
The metal search takes place in playful forms in the middle of the day at the bathing area, which is then full of people.
The person filming the event is holding a metal detector.
"Looking seriously at this"
- All use of metal detectors is subject to a permit.
This is to protect ancient monuments and places where there may be ancient monuments.
At this place we know that there are several burial grounds and if we had received a trial to use metal detectors here, they probably would not have received it.
So we take this seriously, says Daniel Tedenlind, antiquarian county board Kalmar county.
The film was sent to the police
The County Administrative Board therefore reports the incident to the police as suspected unauthorized use of metal detectors.
The use of metal detectors requires a permit in accordance with the Cultural Environment Act and it is the county administrative board that makes decisions in such matters.
It is unusual for a film clip of this type to lead the County Administrative Board to file a complaint.
- It is not commonplace.
We are afraid that it is going on because many people think it is exciting, but then the permit applies, says Daniel Tedenlind.
The film has now been sent to the police's national operational department, NOA, which will test whether there is a suspicion of crime.
