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.
