Can I metal detect on all british beaches?
With a Crown Estate foreshore permit you can detect on any foreshore owned by the Crown Estate, provided those sites aren't also Scheduled Monuments (SM), MOD sites or Sites of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSI).
For beaches not owned by the Crown Estate, you will need to find the owner and get their permission before detecting (again, you must also check the the beach is not an SM, MOD or SSSI).
For SSSIs, you may still be allowed to metal detect, but you would need to get further permission from the authority who manage the land (such as Natural England).

Why is the coastline at Mappleton protected but the coastline to the north and south is unprotected?
Mappleton is being protected because it has the main b1242 road passing it and this road links up to the main coastal towns such as tun stall and wither sea. Further north and south of Mappleton is not being protected because the north and south of Mappleton is surrounded by cheap farmland, and it would cost a lot to protect it.
Groynes are placed so as to reduce coastal (or riverside) erosion.
In the coastal case, they interrupt the flow of sediment along the coast, and accumulate it alongside the groyne. They are only temporary, though with a life of decades.
Riverside groynes rely upon their mass to prevent current erosion of the riverbank. They will not usually accumulate sediments in any great quantity.
