We report on experimental observation of freely propagating pulses of terahertz (THz) radiation produced by optical rectification of femtosecond pulses at metal surfaces. This opens a qualitatively new way of investigation of nonlinear phenomena at metal surfaces and can be also exploited in the future for development of new THz emitters.
