CODE OF CONDUCT FOR METAL DETECTOR USERS 

1. 

Do not trespass. Ask permission before venturing on to any private land. 

2. 

Respect the Country Code. Do not leave gates open when crossing fields, and do not 
damage crops or frighten animals. 

3. 

Do not leave a mess. Use a sharpened trowel or knife to cut a neat circle or triangle (do not 
remove the plug of earth entirely from the ground); extract the object; replace the soil and 
grass carefully and even you will have difficulty in finding the spot again. 

4. 

Help to keep Britain tidy - and help yourself. Bottle tops, silver paper and tin cans are the 
last thing you should throw away. You could well be digging them up again next year. Do 
yourself and the community a favour by taking the rusty iron and junk you find to the 
nearest litter bin. 

5. 

If you discover any live ammunition or any lethal objects such as an unexploded bomb or 
mine, do not touch it. Mark the site carefully and report the find to the local police. 

6. 

Report all unusual historical finds to the landowner. 

7. 

Familiarise yourself with the law relating to archaeological sites. Remember it is illegal for 
anyone to use a metal detector on a scheduled ancient monument unless permission has 
been obtained from the Historic Buildings and Ancient Monument Commission for 
England or the Secretary of State for the Environment in Scotland and Wales.  

8. 

Remember that when you are out with your metal detector, you are an ambassador for our 
hobby. Do nothing that may give it a bad name.
