Diesem Irrglauben habe ich folgende Nachricht aus dem Internet entgegen zu halten:Jetzt gelten Sondengänger als Gefahr für Leib und Leben. [...] Da es in Großbritannien in den beiden Weltkriegen nicht zu Kampfhandlungen kam, gibt es dort auch keine Gefährdung durch Munitionsfunde. Ergo, würden die Verbote für Metalldetektoren nur in Kontinentaleuropa gelten, da es nur hier zu einer akuten Gefahrdung der Bevölkerung durch Sondengänger kommt.

Englische Schatzsucher legen sogar recht häufig Munition frei, wie Pressemitteilungen im Internet bezeugen. Von wegen in Großbritannien ist Sondengehen völlig gefahrlos
Treasure hunter stumbles on deadly Dad's Army bomb cache

A treasure hunter escaped serious injury when he unearthed a cache of bombs that were buried by the Home Guard during the darkest days of World War 2.
The weapons - primed to go off when they made contact with the air - were secreted on a beach by a Captain Mainwaring of the day.
Loaded with dangerous benzene and phosphorus, the Dad's Army-style team would have used them in battle against Nazi troops in the event of invasion.
They were buried and forgotten about for 70 years until metal detectorist Ian Snook stumbled upon them as he swept Cogden Beach, near Burton Bradstock, Dorset.
He began to dig up the find but stopped in the nick of time when he saw a warning notice on top of the bombs.
Had Ian, 44, put his spade through one of the 24 glass bottles, it would have detonated, causing serious burns.
The metal notice read: 'PRECAUTION - bombs fire instantly on breaking in air. Stringent precautions must be taken to avoid cracking during handling - the caps must never be removed.'
