No more family outings armed with a "frying pan."

»No more hidden hopes of gold coins or buried treasures.

A prefectural decree prohibits the use of private metal detectors in Meurthe-et-Moselle, reports

L'Est Républicain.

It must be said that the basement of the department is particularly rich ... in metallic objects of war.

Enough to update the shells and grenades which ultimately mobilize the demining services "in an untimely manner".

Services already in great demand by day-to-day operations but especially against the fight against terrorism.

The use of metal detectors is therefore prohibited for all uses except, specify our colleagues, to obtain "a derogation via the Regional Archaeological Service, to be part of a civil or military demining service or of a company specializing in pyrotechnic pollution control on construction sites ”.
