Tragically, I've just been watching a youtube video of some metal detectoring...
Apparently, broken off metal detectorists's shovels are a common, and ironic find on UK beaches!

Make sure she's familiar with the relevant laws and codes of conduct for detecting:

In particular, the need for permits/landowner's permission to detect, including on the foreshore, where detecting is generally NOT permitted (SSSIs and Scheduled Monuments), and how to report anything she does find that might be classed as Treasure.

Superb, thanks for that, I had absolutely no idea!
At least the permit is free, I'll have a good read over the regulations at the weekend so that she doesn't get caught out.
