Might want to take a look at this website: http://www.a-la-carte-europe-tours.com/castles-tour.html

A 10 day tour with car, driver, meals, etc. runs about $9,000. It's a place to start.

What are the metal detector laws in Germany?
in the city?
in the country?
consequences in breaking the laws.

Here's a start:

GERMANY

The 1992 law on the search for, and preservation of antiquities, covers all objects belonging to the ancient period, early Christianity and the Middle Ages.

Excavation requires a license. Work may not be carried out, without permission, near an antiquity in such a way as to affect it directly or indirectly. All accidental discoveries must be reported. Rewards are made equal to 50% of value if found on public land and 100% if on private land.

Although the 1932 Act does not refer to metal detectors, any items found by its use are covered by the Act.

The 1992 Law:

What is the definition of Treasure?

The following finds are Treasure under the Act, if found after 24 September 1997 (or, in the case of category 2, if found after 1 January 2003):

1. Any metallic object, other than a coin, provided that at least 10 per cent by weight of metal is precious metal (that is, gold or silver) and that it is at least 300 years old when found. If the object is of prehistoric date it will be Treasure provided any part of it is precious metal.
2. Any group of two or more metallic objects of any composition of prehistoric date that come from the same find (see below)
3. All coins from the same find provided they are at least 300 years old when found (but if the coins contain less than 10 per cent of gold or silver there must be at least ten of them). Only the following groups of coins will normally be regarded as coming from the same find:
(a) hoards that have been deliberately hidden
(b) smaller groups of coins, such as the contents of purses, that may been dropped or lost
(c) votive or ritual deposits.

4. Any object, whatever it is made of, that is found in the same place as, or had previously been together with, another object that is Treasure.

5. Any object that would previously have been treasure trove, but does not fall within the specific categories given above. Only objects that are less than 300 years old, that are made substantially of gold or silver, that have been deliberately hidden with the intention of recovery and whose owners or heirs are unknown will come into this category. Note: An object or coin is part of the ‘same find’ as another object or coin if it is found in the same place as, or had previously been together with, the other object. Finds may have become scattered since they were originally deposited in the ground.

What should I do if I find something that may be Treasure?

You must report all finds of Treasure to a coroner for the district in which they are found either within 14 days after the day on which you made the discovery or within 14 days after the day on which you realised the find might be treasure.

Can't find anything on Germany in particular but the "standard" in other countries tend to be 2-5 years for illegal detecting.

Don't forget that whilst most States in Germany allow detecting there are those that don't...I think Bavaria is now a no go area.

I have heard that you need the owners ok toh unt, he can take it all if he want's except in 2 or 3 of the states where the finder and owner will have to share ask Bavaria Mike, he might know more. (or any other german member)
