METAL DETECTING CODE OF ETHICS
1. Before metal
detecting public sites always check laws, ordinances or regulations that may govern your search.
2. Never trespass.
Always get permission when metal detecting private property.
3. Never leave
open holes. Leave the search area exactly as it was before your metal detecting.
4. Report the
discovery of any items of significant historical value to the local historian or museum.
5. If you discover
live ammo or a lethal object, don’t touch it. Mark the site and notify the police at once.
6. Be polite
and informative to those who inquire about your hobby. You are the ambassador of a pastime we want to protect and we will
be judged by how you act and respond.
