I thought that using metal detectors in France was illegal, as in Ireland, unless you have some kind of special permission from a representative of the secretary of state. I seem to remember the last time that the France/metal detector situation situation came up on this forum and a detectorist was unhappy with it, I pointed out the if the French people don't like their law, there are democratic ways to change it.
Stephen, it seems to be the height of hubris to announce that another country's laws are not fit for purpose, and that you are going to break them (possibly) to test them. If they did decide to prosecute you, they've got all the evidence they need on this forum that you knew what you were doing.
Italy, where did I write Italy? please can you post that text. If you had written England and France then you would have been correct.
Where did I say I would be breaking any law, I said I would be calling in the press to highlight the law is a complete shambles.
Using a metal detector in France is not illegal, there are restrictions on where and how they can be used. The understanding of the law I have is based on a legal interpretation carried out by the law college in Nante and not the skewed interpretation of a DRAC representative.

The OS stuff is about the analysis of data.
Your question; not very original, I think you can do better if you try to see things in a positive light.
