Some of the detectorists around my neck of the woods only get access to fields if they do remove the iron they find as a quid pro quo for the farmer giving them access.

Oh, and one last point...Franco Prussian War of 1870 - 1871 was probably the last major campaign which involved a lot of cavalry on both sides. The last proper cavalry battle was 31 August 1920 between the Polish and the Bolsheviks at Komarow...but you've probably already know about this from wikipedia!:0
