Piastowska 14 <br />45-082 Opole) and specifically Grzegorz Molenda (or Marta Kopec) for advice http://www.wuozopole.pl/kontakt. <br /><br />Since here Polish 'poszukiwacze' researching WW2 sites tend to treat the research aspect far more seriously than mere artefact hunters in the UK intent on filling their pockets with curios and trophies, probably it would help to meet them and take along some copies of your previously published books and articles on WW2 history to show your qualifications and ability to document your discoveries and explain what you have in mind. <br /><br />I personally would encourage you to leave the metal detector behind and research the history of the region through the copious documents and non-invasive survey. There is still a lot to do in those areas. Uncovering artefacts of that period is problematic in legal and curatorial terms. What could you do with them?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Paul Barfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443302899233809948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-48338827585935021672018-11-11T11:20:42.283-08:002018-11-11T11:20:42.283-08:00Hello Paul,
