While I’m not a fan of government regulations, it may be interesting if developers had a period of time during which detectorists are allowed to search the area before construction begins.

I hate the thought of potentially historic areas being plowed under with not a whit of concern as to the artifacts that may be waiting for discovery.

Hopefully none of it has been removed if you look at top picture that mound of what looks like just weeds is the dirt that was removed for the building of new homes and it stretches around the backside of homes all the way to the street it’s approximately 4’ to 5 ‘ feet in height the site where the police showed up is less than a quarter mile away and there were a 4 piles of soil all of them at least 30’ high was there maybe a an hours time had dug a buckle 2 Wheats and a 1952 Italian Lira they hadn’t even started building yet just had moved the dirt

I believe they're more worried about liability than harm you might do to the dirt. Also, some contractors are afraid you'll actually find something good enough to stop construction and cause an expensive delay. I always tell them that I'll let them see whatever I find (if they want to see them) and mum's the word about where I found them to anyone else.
