9. Code of Conduct
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 the fields, and do not damage crops or frighten
animals.
3.
Do not leave a mess. It is simple to extract a coin or other small objects buried a few inches under the ground without
digging a great hole. 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 evenly.
4.
Help to keep your country tidy. 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 any unusual historical finds to the landowner.
7.
Familiarise yourself with the law relating to the 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 your hobby. Do nothing that may
give it a bad name.
9.
The law relating to treasure finds must be followed. Contact the authorities and inform yourself.
10. Care for Your Detector
When not in use your detector should be stored in a dry and warm environment. If it is not to be used for a certain length of
time it is advisable to remove the batteries to avoid leakage which could cause serious damage. The working life of your
detector will be shortened by careless use or neglect of the unit. Think of your detector as a scientific instrument. Your
detector is designed to withstand rugged handling on any terrain, but misuse or lack of due attention will tell in the end. After
using your detector in a hostile environment (salt water, sand, etc.) the exterior parts should be rinsed with clean fresh water,
paying particular attention to the head and stems, then carefully wipe dry.
