Detecting is an activity, which like other leisure activities
requires some guiding principles. These few recommendations will allow
you to fully enjoy it while respecting laws,
environment and other people.
•
Enquire about and abide by the laws in force of the country or the state before searching. It
is of your responsibility to know them and to abide by them.
•
Always ask the permission of the land owners where you want to search.
•
Have regard for the natural environment in which you are searching.
•
Don’t forget to backfill all holes you dig.
Avoid detecting in areas where battles took place during wartime.
Report any suspect object you might discover to the authorities.
