Is it legal to search with a metal detector in Germany (Hesse)?

I'm not a seeker, but I like watching YouTube videos about the people who do it. One of them is a Youtuber called Odin, maybe you know him, he publishes something very often. He has a lot of knowledge and is still involved in the seekers' environment, which is why I would turn to him with such a detailed question. I think he will be able to help you or know another person who will be able to answer. In situations where ignorance may result in a fine or even imprisonment, I would not rely on the opinion of anonymous people on the Internet. Regards

Yes, searching using a metal detector in Germany, including in the region of Hesse, is usually legal. However, it is important to remember that there are certain restrictions and rules that must be followed. For example, there are special rules regarding archaeological searches and the need to obtain proper permits in some protected or historical areas. Therefore, it is always worth checking local regulations regarding the use of metal detectors before starting any searches.
