💎 Can I collect amber and stones on Danish beaches?

Yes — amber hunting is a folk sport, and small finds are yours. The rule of thumb descends from the medieval Jutland Code: take what you can carry without tools — amber, ordinary stones, shells and a handful of sand for personal use pass on publicly accessible beaches. The limits: larger quantities (buckets of stones, sacks of sand) need the owner's consent and possibly a Raw Materials Act permit; protected dunes and beach meadows must not be dug; and scientifically unique finds — fossils, meteorites, rare minerals — may be danekræ, which the Museum Act requires handing in (against compensation). Amber, though, is yours: even large lumps are finders keepers.
